Good for them! We need more such “vigilantes”.

“...Citizens need to step in when authorities are unable or unwilling to do their duty.....”
Exactly. When communist politicians and tax-paid LEOs won’t do their duty, it’s up to the citizens to protect themselves. Neighborhoods, like this one, need to form their own “militias” to protect what they’ve worked so hard for and paid taxes for for years. Also, once this is over, the next bond/tax issue that comes up for schools, LEOs, etc....vote it down.

Citizens need to step in “because” authorities are unable or unwilling to do their duty.

Fred Reed (fredoneverything) discussed this about 20 years ago. Basically, he said that if the rioters ever try to expand into civilized neighborhoods, they may be shocked at how many people have rifles and pistols in their closets and, with their wives and children’s safety at stake, the will to use them.

It would be a bloodbath, and the rioters would lose.

This is why the left want your guns. You will not be able to stop their lawlessness. But, Behold! our Founders knew better...

Police, even good police departments, don’t usually help in the present. Only in the aftermath. Violence that continues into their response time is rare.

Hence, always keep your tools on you.

The residents were allegedly guarding their street to stop looters

Allegedly?

It was a group of community organizers guarding their neighborhood. They organized based on the words of Barack Obama, “If they bring a knife, you bring a gun.” Just following what the Insurrectionist-in-Chief said.

Protecting your property is not being a vigilante.

“Vigilante?” The Guardian is worm food. What an editorialized title.

These are not vigilantes. This is a citizen’s militia. The law has broken down, so law abiding armed citizens have stepped up to the plate. These people do not want to shoot anyone, and as far as they are concerned, if the thugs see them and decide to not ply their trade there, and the militia does not have to fire a round, good. But if the thugs decide to loot anyway, the thugs have chosen poorly.

They are NOT "Vigilante" because they didn't take any action against the lawless.

They are simple CITIZENS exercising their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS to protect their family and property.

Vigilante??? So protecting your own property from terrorists makes you a vigilante? Unbelievable.
