These are real men. America was made of such men.

Vigilantism was given a bad rap by the crooks in the Establishment to protect themselves from righteous citizens.

In a sense it is going on in Detroit but its not organized. The elderly are taking a hell of a toll on the thug population.

The justifiable homicide rate in Detroit is an astounding 2200% higher than the national average. Part of the problem is the manipulation of statistics. The government loves to count those justifiable homicides (defensive) as murder without a distinction. Just guessing from watching the news I’d say its about 5 defensive shootings per week in Detroit.

I think 2 million patriots marching on DC would scare the crap out of them.

We already did that.

Seems Mexico has a history of revolutions. They evidently get tired of corrupt government after a few years or decades.......

Please go to the link and read the entire article. There are a good many pictures also. These people look like the real thing. These are the ‘people’ that leftists endlessly emote over but never do anything substantive for. They live in one of the poorest parts of Mexico with a long history of rebellion and vigilantism. The vigilante movement is growing in the mountainous central west part of Mexico as the criminality from the drug regimes have begun to spill over into areas where there is little narcotics action. What is now emerging is generalized banditry like something out of a Hollywood film like the ‘Magnificent Seven’.
Armed gangs now infest areas extracting protection moneys from farmers and small merchants, establishing shake down road blocks on highways and kidnapping anyone slightly prosperous for ransom. On top of this theft of community property such as valuable timber assets is becoming common. Gangs show up with trucks and power saws and a lot of weapons and simply harvest timber. The trend in self defense is likely to grow and is one more symptom of how deeply enmeshed in a destructive cycle of violence, chaos, and corruption our southern neighbor is. In the past this trend ends in general collapse of the central government, warlordism and generalized armed chaos featuring hosts of private semi-bandit armies. Bad times seem to be coming south of the border.

Yep, it’s just a matter of time before the Federales come roaring in. To save the cartels.

The militia shot some tourists for not stopping at a roadblock. Not good.

Mexico is a battleground with active state department warnings. People traveling in Mexico are taking their chances as much as they would be if traveling in Syria or Lybia.

Kind of hard to do anything when the police are corrupt, will agree. At this local .. many a good Man and Woman within local departments of LE. About everyone is armed, in this neck of the woods. Hope yours is well protected too.

“Owning a gun in Mexico is illegal!!”

Here is a Freeper thread from 03 on Edward Abbey the patron saint of of radical environmentalists. He had some novel ideas on things other than the environment.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/914504/posts

“Stop every campesino at our southern border, give him a handgun, a good rifle, and a case of ammunition, and send him home. He will know what to do with our gifts and good wishes. The people know who their enemies are.”

What I understand is that handguns and any firearm that uses a "military caliber" is not allowed for civilians. Anything else is registered and requires a permit

I was put off by them shooting at tourist too. You changed my mind on that. Touristicos en Mexico son muy estupidos.
