My main problem with vigilantism is the risk of getting the wrong person. But in this case, the guy had already been found guilty.

Ideally, the justice/prison system would have done its job and the guy would have been locked up forever or come out a reformed man, remorseful for what he did. But his comment shows that clearly wasn't the case.

So you have a case where there's no risk of mistaken identity, the failure of the justice system, and a highly emotional issue. Lighting the guy on fire in a crowded bar may have been going overboard a bit, but even as somebody who opposes vigilantism I find myself sympathizing with the mother.
I agree. I sympathise with her as well. No getting around it the fact that she flat out murdered the guy though. You have to pay the piper for that no matter what the 'justification'.
