Is this warning considered vigilantism?
The situation is that when my sisters and I were little, on New Year's Eve a group of men from the neighborhood thought it would be funny to throw firecrackers at my sisters and me.
Since the group simply wouldn't stop and my father got angry because his children were in danger and he himself knew what could happen since he is a firefighter himself and has experienced a lot, he launched a rocket in the group's direction as a warning. The rocket did not injure the group however and was only intended as a warning and not to injure.
I can't remember anything about that time myself, but my father is a calm person and tries to sort everything out with words.
This sums up the situation and after my father's warning, this group of men never dared to throw firecrackers at children again.
My question came about because someone told me that my father had taken the law into his own hands.
That's why I wanted to hear someone else's point of view, because I don't think my father took the law into his own hands, he didn't hurt anyone or do anything else, and besides, it was about his own children who were very small at the time and the firecrackers could have caused anything from minor injuries to death.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Unfortunately, I don't know exactly which topics are relevant to this question.

That’s self-justice. The legally correct way is to display attempted body injury and the day to get the police. That would be disgusting. Until the police arrive, they’ll get their children safe.
It would have made sense to make an announcement.
Fire a rocket on it, on the other hand, makes no sense. Even if it worked here. Imagine he would have hurt someone from them or an uninvolved person, he would have burned himself hard. Then he would have been there because of severe body injury and may pay a pension for life or high pain.
Or they would have understood it as funny and fired it right back. That would have jeopardized you first and it would have increased so much until there were many injured.
Thanks for your answer and that with the police probably wouldn’t have worked so well, especially since the group could have said that they hadn’t done that and proof my parents had not had at that time. In addition, my father would have assumed responsibility for it if someone had been injured and would have provided first aid and lastly I mentioned that my father is a calm person and tried to clarify everything with words and that was the case at that time. You also have to remember that the group had thrown the bulges right in front of our property and had fun of it like my sister and I were afraid. But thanks again for your answer I wanted to hear the opinions of other people about it c:
Is self-justice and if your father knows how dangerous rockets and bulges are, even that is not such a good thing with the rocket
Thank you for your answer and I think my father did this so that the group of men once understands how dangerous fireworks is, because since they had fun to smuggle Böller on small children doesn’t have to be aware of how dangerous this is, my father never again made such a dangerous thing again and thank you for telling me your opinion c:
The definition of “self-adjustment” is not that someone was hurt. How stupid are you? You know how dangerous things can be and answer them exactly the same. Whether you’ve been hit by a gust or a rocket doesn’t matter in the hospital, the police also
Of course, your father has committed a form of self-justice.
Nevertheless, he has acted correctly.
Thank you for your answer and I also think that my father did the right thing at that time, because my father is not a person who would act in a simple way, and I also think that it is normal for the parents to protect their children, even if they sometimes have to do drastic things, but it always comes to the situation. And in my situation, one must first think of how dangerous fireworks are and that this group of men at the time were apparently not aware of how dangerous it really is until my father warned them with a rocket and showed how dangerous it is and it is not funny. Who knows maybe my father even prevented something worse from doing this group of men over the years would have made other craps with fireworks if she had not been aware of how fireworks is. Thank you for telling me your opinion c:
Self-justice I would not call it, danger already ( firefighter, knows what can happen) . It is also not, it would have been enough to bring the children out of reach of the shipyards. On the whole, it would have been quite unthinkable, if necessary, to shoot back rockets and escalation.
Thank you for your answer and unfortunately I can’t remember at that time what might be good as I was really scared at that time, but I was told that the hellers were thrown right up to our property and the group had fun of being hurt by the bullies like my sisters and I had extreme fear. I also think that my father is aware of how dangerous fireworks is he fired this as a warning in their direction, my father would never do anything that he would not be sure that nobody would be hurt. I also think that the group of men at that time was not aware of how dangerous fireworks are, but by my father’s action it has become aware of them. Thank you for telling me your opinion c:
