It’s what you have to do when your president, congress, military and spy services have no desire to help the common taxpayer.

Yes, you are quite correct. For students of history of the west, vigilantes arose when the law failed to act or when the law became corrupt and colluded with corruption against the average citizen. The range wars in early Wyoming history was a case study of such corruption.

Honest law enforcement sometimes fought against corrupt law enforcement for control of the territory. I remember the story of Nate Champion at my grandfather's knee. His father had actually participated on the side of honest law enforcement and ran with the vigilantes before that.

That experience is why I believe that Wyoming still has one of the best run states in the union. When I was a little boy, there were still a lot of people alive who were only one generation removed from that experience and it was as fresh in their minds then as World War II is to people today.
