So in their heads, the proper place of the law-abiding citizen is to be a good, passive little victim to anyone who wishes to abuse him, be it government or criminals. Perhaps they are one in the same.
Ultimately, people may be driven to kill the POS, hide the body some way or other and keep their mouths shut.
You mean the old "shoot, shovel and shut up".
I keep thinking that this sort of anarcho-tyranny is going to generate a reaction of a sort of vigilante war on thugs. Now people report crimes. In the future the victim class may quietly prepare to deal with those the law can't or won't. Even with all the security cameras in the UK there are still plenty of lonely places were thug bodies can be dumped. I can imagine a harried police culture of 've know nothing' about either violent crimes or the violent termination of the criminals. And in response to another question. A disproportionate share of violent crimes are perpetrated by 'Asian' (read Muslim mostly Pak), African and West Indian thugs.
