They didn’t call it the Wild West for nothing - where there were no sheriff’s or marshal’s the folks handled things themselves - where today law enforcement and liberal judges setting multiple offenders free time and again .... just saying.

You’re talking to a resident of Lincoln County NM whose direct ancestor rode with Billy the Kid. The Kid was in the same spot. Law was no help so he took it upon himself (and went way too far).

For clarity, I’m not advocating this. Nor seeking to participate.

But it’s going to happen and be very ugly. And go way too far, like it always does.

Be much better if the government steps up.

I wonder how many are aware that vigilante justice in the U.S. was first used in the 1760s in North Carolina?
