That isn't freedom, it's privatized crime and punishment. It's the same as saying you're free to be homeless if you can't afford rent.

I don't really see how it's privatized crime and punishment. Being a jerk isn't illegal. And the "punishment" is economic, not forceful. I don't think your analogy works.
