Remember the Minute Men? That’s what they tried to do. Not sure what happened to them, but it was a good idea then and it’s a good idea now. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Our country is being destroyed.
It imploded due to internal squabbling with a member who claimed the name for his own org/purposes. Plus, one of the Co-founders was found guilty of child porn. I worked with Co-founder Jim Gilchrist in his own home across the hwy. He was surprised as all about the Tombstone guy. I also went to Tombstone to patrol way before that occurred.
You're correct that it was a good idea, and the Border Patrol couldn't thank us enough. We stopped lots of Mexican illegals from crossing by notifying BP. Of course, that was when we actually had a border before Biteme.
They were ridiculed out of existence, basically.
Of course, the “professional law enforcement apparatus” shamed and mocked them. You know the types that can barley hit the broad side of a barn.
