See, this is why it's hard to tell who's dumb and who's a troll. I've read things similar to this in other boards.
Ok he raped a girl and burned Goose TO DEATH but he shouldn't die over that.
In a way, that's why it's Mad Max, he's had enough of scum like that and a legal system that can't control them. The police couldn't prevent the NightRider from escaping, couldn't prevent the gang from stealing and attacking the citizens of that small town so Johnny get's let loose. The criminal system in the movie wasn't able to deal with such things. Max had had enough, and that's why he killed the gang. Was he justified in killing Johnny? Sure, why not, Johnny was evil and the courts couldn't stop him. Max could. Why don't you think rape and murder are reasons for being killed yourself? Was Johnny justified in rape or killing Goose by burning him? -

"Deserved" Is ENTIRELY up to each of our opinions.
But in all that, we're losing sight of the whole point.
Max was Good Cop driven mad by the murder of his wife & son.
Whether or not any of the Bikies "Deserved" to meet the ends that Max dealt them is immaterial. -

But, I agree with the point made in the quote, too. The courts were seemingly unable to deal with the situation, so someone had to step in. -

He deserved it, in my opinion. He's a lunatic, a drug addict, a rapist and a murderer, and at that point in the movie, Max is not at 100% of his faculties so he will just get rid of all the scum without thinking too much. Good job, I say!

Ditto.
