You live in the city don’t you? All you have to do is pick up the phone and the police come screaming to your place.
They don’t. They have a right to protect their children, protect their homes and protect their streets.
You wouldn’t have made a very good founding father. “Oh, let’s just let King George protect us”.
You’re avoiding my most basic of points. Vigilantes cannot be trusted to deliver justice. History is replete with examples of vigilantes acting on accusations alone and killing innocent people.
The most galling part of your post is attempting to justify vigilantism by comparing vigilantes to the founding fathers. These same founding fathers created an elaborate system to determine guilt and protect the innocent. Surely you don’t expect us to believe that the same people who penned and affirmed that no person should be denied due process would have supported this kind of behavior. You obviously didn’t think this one through. If you’re correct, then they must have been kidding when the the Bill of Rights was ratified.
