I agree that things are dire and that society is faltering, but outright destroying what we have left and embracing murder isn't going to fix things. On the contrary, it would accelerate the destruction.
Eh, I'm currently reading some history texts about the early 1800's England. Napoleonic War type stuff. You stole back then and you hung.
I wouldn't say life back then was awesome, but that's probably largely due to the technological limitations of the time. Lots of poor and no mechanism to feed and employ them. It certainly wasn't a Mad Max dystopia or anything.

Those were more pious times, and they had a justice system. What you were talking about before was murderous vigilantism. It's not the same.
