I remember reading where a man shot dead a farmer in the old west, for no reason at all. the crowd immediately took the shooter to the local livery stable where he was hung so high he had to look down at the moon.
Yup. And it wasn’t pursued by law enforcement, was it? America will have to really come low before ordinary people take justice into its own hands. Even gun owners are cowed into respecting laws that tie our hands and tie our sense of morality into knots.
