I would suggest that asking that someone be removed from a position of power that they are to all appearances misusing; is not vigilante justice.
In point of fact, it is the proper procedure to ask that someone who has abused the public trust and shown a lack of judgment be removed from a position that requires trustworthiness and judgment.
Vigilante justice would be hacking into her personal files and threatening her life; asking her boss to fire her is the furthest you can get from that.
Speaking of which; if anyone is thinking about acting directly against Ms. Ortiz or Mr. Heymann, I would discourage that as strongly as possible; it would be counterproductive as well as criminal.
My comment is not in response to the petition itself, but into the threats that are going around with respect to actual vigilante justice as described in the original article and by the original comment.
