Great idea, untill you consider that a woman could conceivibly tell this "group" that her husband beat her when he actually didnt. Maybe she was mad at him and wanted revenge? Thats where its good to have the cops step in and INVESTIGATE. The last thing we need is people walking be able to legally kicks someones ass, based on hearsay.

Well, speaking as one that was held hostage and told my kids would be killed, then me, then himself...hell no....I don't agree at all...the police saved my life, fixed his butt good! Even let me know when he would be released and ordered to leave the state! There needs to be record of families with domestic violence, authorities need to be involved!

I dont think they would in a larger group. But a small community is different. You cant hide your black eye for instance.

In my opinion though, people who hurt other people that severely, are only going to get angrier if they suffer consequences. This most often seems to mean acting out... no matter what society says.

Anyone hard headed will never truly learn, but at least they will be instantly quelled, knowing that if they cross the line, they will pay a price immediately - not a few years down the road when the courts slowly take action.
This is most likely the case, but no one cares if they are angry. All that matters is if they have the fear that if they do something they will suffer immediate consequences. If they learn from it, more power to them, but I know of very few people who take adverse circumstances and hard learning and reflect on themselves to change. At least they would know that they would become an example and it would most likely not be fun.
Its Illegal, not necessarily wrong, the two aren't always the same. Legal or otherwise beat one of my daughters and see what happens, if they dont kick your , you will have a very pissed off biker and sons to deal with.
