“ we all know what happened to horse thieves in the old west!”

Yes we do. They got hanged - after a trial.

Except of course when the law wasn’t working, in which case either

a) The victim was unable to effect justice, and the robbers got away to do it again and again; or

b) The victim was able to effect justice, in which case the robbers got shot, unless the victim got shot, or everyone got shot.

Unlike TV westerns or the civilization we’re used to, thanks to leftist thugs and the foreign agitators who fund them, the system of law is going away, or even supporting crime. That leaves the general populace with choice a) or b) again. a) only means a descent into the long-treaded path of communism/socialism, rule by the elites, and mass murder.

I guess you could call it sad that criminals will no longer have the law to jail them, because they’ll lose that opportunity for reform. Better than a) though.
