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.

Here is why I keep harping about the issue. I play a little bit of devil's advocate sometimes to put the exclamation point in place.

Of course the best resolution to the problem is to have an agency or system of sorts that have weapons and badges that would “remove these criminals from the population”. Right now, it seems that the available agencies that exist to protect and defend will treat racially charged situations with denial, delusion and cover-up of the facts. It's human nature for them to respond this way when they know that doing it differently will result in punishment, possibly loss of job and being labeled as racist.

Politicians will reinforce and even order the “hands-off” approach for the same reasons and, in addition, to pander to the minority population for the purpose of garnering votes. It's a broken system!

Fixing it takes at least two tiers of action, in my opinion. First is a clear message from the people that we're not going to stand by and be victims anymore. But words are cheap.....as has been stated several other times on this forum, sometimes the loudest message comes with a bang....and gives the homies (or whomever) cause to think twice next time.

Secondly comes policy change. What happened recently with the SCOTUS on the second amendment may well give way to expanded carry, therefore more self-defense shootings, therefore more attention by our “public servants” of the issue....you get the progression.

This is a call for action to deviate from “business as usual”, which currently is the passive acceptance that stuff happens and if we're lucky, the police will protect us. Maybe they'll be in on the homicide investigation. I'm not willing to let it get to that point, at least in my little part of the world, and if I have any say about it.

It's a change of culture and mindset.

I think you're on the right track....
