OK ... so let's say the homeowner "mans up": He sanctions the whole lot with extreme prejudice, men, women, and children and dumps the resulting biohazard waste on the mayor's doorstep. A reasonable course of action, IMO.
What do you suppose happens next?
You’ve got a lot of nerve posting common sense on a Rambo thread.
Just kidding. You’re right, of course. If the homeowner went on the offensive, the local police would also go on the offensive. Against him. That’s just the way things work in 2024 America - at least until Trump gets back in the White House.
It’s also worth noting that at least some of the “vagabonds” are armed. So the homeowner could well lose his personal Gunfight at the OK Corral.
If the local cops will not help, as I mentioned earlier the best solution would be to move. And that’s a damn shame. But it is what it is.
No. You bury the bodies in the middle of the night. The mayor will be furious if you dump them on his doorstep, and be all about shutting down vigilantes.
