Punisher is, at least originally, someone who goes on killing "criminals" because he believes them to be criminals and thus deserving of being shot. It's the whole reason both Police and ICE love the character so much. He represents lack of accountability and complete insusceptibility to any kind of due process, judicial or communal, doesn't matter.

They are sick to the stomach of their community clinging to an old game Valve clearly communicated it has no interest in maintaining, constantly whining and demanding action.
