From the article:
If parents don't vaccinate their children, the state takes them out of school. If a dog consistently attacks people, the authorities put it down. If someone commits three felonies, they are put away for life. This is because the rights of the many outweigh the rights of the one.

In response:
In each of these cases it is the state that is taking action. If parents don't vaccinate their children and _I_ take them away or if a dog consistently attacks people and _I_ put it way or if some commits three felonies and _I_ lock them up for life, then _I_ will be looking at some serious jail time. Strikeback is advocating vigilantism; taking the law into one's own hands. I don't see anything in this article to tell me any different.
