I am pretty sure if, I for example, went looking for gamers who download GURPS PDFs from torrents, beat the crap out of them, and left them in front of the police station with a helpful "Friendly Neighborhood Psychopath" note, I probably would be of interest to the police very quickly.

This isn't the case in the comics, so it doesn't apply there, but saying that vigilanteism is legal in the real United States is just not correct.

More seriously there are people who sometimes get away with some very bad things because the justice system is messy and they sometimes get the crap beat out of them or killed by aggrieved victims. The law definitely prosecutes the vigilantes in these cases, even though they could argue they were preventing further crimes.
