"No one is advocating for that," except you, when you said, " 
Any Government equals Reduction of Freedom. Always"

I want the Government to protect the borders and keep us safe from foreign governments. Everything else it should stay the hell out of.

Right.  If you're in the interior of the country, and your sister gets raped, the government should stay the hell out of it and let you go revenge-rape the rapist's sister.  As long as it doesn't involve the border or foreign governments, it should be up to the family to solve.  Right?

So you do have reading comprehension problems then. Good to know.

Edit: Perhaps that was a bit harsh. Allow me to elaborate...a person can state a fact without using that particular fact as a platform to advocate for a tangentially-related position. In this case, you, I, and everyone else can agree to the fact that government in any form is a restraint on human freedom without suggesting it's abolition is desired, or even beneficial. As you say, vigilante justice is, for the most part, an undesirable outcome for violating other people's rights. A functioning government with fair laws and a desire for justice is a much better solution to that kind of crime. I'm not sure where you pulled your wild accusations from, but you might want to return them because they are sour.
