Vigilante, naive, elderly and distraught

Let me ask you a very especific question. Have you ever acted as an vigilante before?
Do you know what "vigilante" means?

A muscled adult man would not hesitate to act as a vigilante to prevent a criminal from robbing the elderly of their money just before his eyes.

A naive kid walking by didn't realize what was happening.

The elderly can be either relieved or distraught after what's comming next.

Do you know what "vigilante" means?

A muscled adult man would not hesitate to act as a vigilante to prevent a criminal from robbing the elderly of their money jusright before his eyes.

A naive kid who walking by didn't realize what was happening.

The elderly can be either be relieved or distraught after what's comming happened next.

Vigilante doesn't begin with a vowel phonetically, so takes "a" instead of "an".

A naive kid walking by diwouldn't realize what was happening.

The sentence by itself is fine, but as an extension of the previous hypothetical sentence, presumably should also be hypothetical.

The elderly person can be either relieved or distraught afterbout what's comming next.

"The elderly" refers to all elderly people as a group, if you want to talk about a single elderly person, you need to use "elderly person", "elderly woman", etc.

This sentence still isn't great, but your intended meaning isn't clear enough for me to pick the correct alternative.

The shift from hypothetical to non-hypothetical in the middle of the post makes it a bit hard to follow. Sentence by sentence it's mostly valid, but put together it doesn't really fit together. You build as if you're going to explain what a vigilante is, but then describe someone's opinion on being one. You then go from a hypothetical to describe it as if it was a specific incident.

I am just trying to use the idioms i have recently learned. Yes, the sentences don't fit and are independent.

Good question! I don't think I've ever acted as a vigilante in such a dramatic manner.
