It should not have been necessary for Korean shop-keepers to stand guard over their property during the L.A. riots. But it was.

Illegal immigrants are helping themselves to services supported by our tax dollars in ever-increasing amounts. The situation has become dire enough in Kalifornia that the economic burden itself may have the beneficial effect of bankrupting the state and ending socialism as it exists today in the state. One can only hope.

Given the nonsense that passes for justice from the Ninth Circus, much of which stands unreviewed by the US Supreme Court, I don't see how anyone can rule out "vigilantism" as a final response to judicial tyranny.

We live in interesting times. Let's all hope that it doesn't become too interesting.

The Korean shop keepers were not practicing vigilantism. They were not roaming the streets or conducting rogue justice. They simply protected the own property from attack, from native-born Americans, not illegals, whose ancestry likely goes back further than yours or mine. That is perfectly legal under the law.

We are a long way from needing to use "vigilantism" in the US as a practice.

The case of the shop owners protecting themselves during the LA riots when police would not respond in my mind is a clear case of when vigilantism was necessary. It was the exception not the rule.

If and when that time comes where the exception becomes the rule, rules here and else where can change.
