“Now, could there POSSIBLY be any other recourse for decent people other than beating our chests on a message board?”
The answer is “Yes....shoot the bastards!”
You seem to be the one that can’t get the “simple point”.

Again, I am all for shooting them! It’s just not actually happening at the speed that is needed. I hope you could agree to that at least.
I have heard of some countries that have created a system. Something like a state agency of some sort. What they do is collect taxes form the population and create these agencies. When criminals behave in this manner the members of these agnecies have badges and they remove these criminals from the population. Sometimes they put them in cages and sometimes they actually execute them, depending on the severity of the crime.
It think that is something we should consider doing in the U.S.
