răzbunători aprigi


Explanation:
Înţeleg că vigilantes sunt numiţi cei care aplică pedepse celor pe care îi consideră mai presus de lege sau care au scăpat de consecinţele legii pentru fapte grave. Deci, fac dreptate pe cont propriu.

Sau pseudo-justiţiari feroce (barbari).
Sensul pare negativ, având în vedere că ceea ce fac aceşti "haiduci" este la urma urmei ilegal şi imoral.
