Please listen with caution. In 2016, Jason Vukovich decided the justice system wasn’t doing its job — so, he took over. Jason launched a violent, one-man campaign against convicted pedophiles in Alaska, attacking his targets with fists, hammers, and years of unresolved pain and anger.  As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Jason openly framed his actions as punishment the justice system failed to deliver.  To supporters, he is a vigilante hero known as “The Alaskan Avenger.”  To law enforcement, he is a dangerous criminal and serial attacker who belongs behind bars.  To the public? A Rorschach test.  This explosive case collides trauma, rage, and moral certainty - and leaves us with one brutal question: when justice fails and revenge feels necessary, who’s actually at fault?
