Hell no. Bickle is a psychopath, not a vigilante. If he is a vig, he's overeager at best, and that just makes him dangerous.
I actually watched Taxi Driver the other night (been meaning to for a while; this just further inspired me). Travis Bickle only kills 4-5 people in the movie. 1 was robbing a store at gunpoint, and the other 3-4 (can't remember) he killed trying to free a 12-year-old Jodie Foster from prostitution. He's absolutely a vigilante character. When I re-read this, it seemed like pcm was falsifying information about the character to speed up the case. I could be wrong, but I wanted to get it out there now that blake has been hammered and it won't detract from that case, and in case I die tonight.
Yeah, but he tried to kill the politician too. So I definitely think overeager vig at the very least, especially when you consider he got the guns illegally.
This. Plus the whole stalking thing and apparently not stopping a guy planning to gruesomely murder his wife. Not exactly sane things to do, hm?
