"Defensive" BGP hijacking?

[surfer at mauigateway.com (Scott Weeks)]

From: NANOG <nanog-bounces at nanog.org> on behalf 
of Blake Hudson <blake at ispn.net>

My suggestion is that BackConnect/Bryant Townsend should have their ASN
revoked for fraudulently announcing another organization's address
space. They are not law enforcement, they did not have a warrant or
judicial oversight, they were not in immediate mortal peril, etc, etc.

Are the RIRs the internet police?
