That is kind of the point of a law, to be impartial. Without it we might as well go back to the stone age.
Sometimes laws are bad - but people in Kohlberg stage 4 don't think so. There are many obvious historical counterexamples to laws being neutral, or good.

https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-the-heartbreak-machine-nazis-in-... The 40 minutes of the presentation before the hack gives a lot more context: there are 2 journalists in addition to this anonymous pink Power Ranger, and they investigated the Nazi network, which is international. And Martha Root (the pink power ranger) was trolling them by creating an account and using LLM. The LLM didn't work properly, the account was…

While no one likes racists: A crime against someone you disagree with is still a crime. A crime against someone you despise is still a crime. A crime against someone who commits a crime is still a crime. So good intent, very, very bad execution, IMO.
A act against someone random may be a crime. The same against someone committing a crime, may not be a crime.
This is how it is done, the hacker ‘Martha Root’ dressed as the pink power ranger and hacked white supremacist dating sites, stole their data, took down their sites and then proceeded to DOX members by making a map with members locations and information around the world.
You do understand that if their side does the same, you won't have any kind of moral high ground to stand on because you have already condoned stooping to their level?

Well, in your own personal version of justice
law in my country
In the UK Vigilante justice is punished extremely hard.
If you commit a crime in the commission of preventing crime you will go to jail. There's a couple of things that are permitted and they're outlined as "detainment without excessive force" - for citizens arrest, and then it's only for the duration until a relevant authority can be called... with a maximum term of time that authority must be called.. It's extremely limited.
And one of the offences specifically not permissible for citizens arrest is inciting racial hatred.
