While it’s unfortunate, it’s not unheard of that when the government provides no fair justice, or worse, takes the side of criminals, vigilantism results.

And despite government efforts to slander vigilantism, the truth is that vigilantism rarely if ever begins with violence. Instead it begins as a plea for the government to be responsible, or at least responsive. From there begins a long process, again a non-violent one, of seeking any alternative to prevent criminals from running roughshod over the honest citizenry.

Often in this, the disreputable government will even turn on the vigilantes before it will reform, or stop favoring the criminals. Often this is done with an effort to vilify the vigilantes as dangerous criminals themselves, and even seek to persecute them.

The last step of non-violent vigilantes is to try to drive out the criminals with the threat of force. And guess where much of America is right now with their patience of violent and criminal illegal aliens?

The citizenry has had enough, and is demanding that the illegals leave, especially the violent criminal illegals. Yet even now, the federal government strongly opposes this final, non-violent effort.

So what will happen? Since government refuses to act, and worse, takes the side of the criminals against its citizens, with each day there is the likelihood that the citizens are going to lose patience.

And vigilantism will result.

For example, imaging the utter horror of the federal government, if this murderous drunk driver were to be found dangling from a tree?

They would never, ever say that it was his punishment for being a murderer. Nor would they even mention the victim he murdered, except in passing, or perhaps that she was to blame for her murderer meeting his just fate.

And the federal government would rant and rave at the “racism” involved in hanging a freed murderer, and how awful and horrible our society is to do such a thing. And they would threaten dire revenge against any vigilante they caught, or could blame for the death of the “poor, unfortunate immigrant”.

But by then it would be too late. Despite their cries and pleas, once violent vigilantism has begun, it follows its course of purging a region of criminals. The smarter criminals, of course, leave on their own; but there are always a stubborn cluster that tries to hold out against the mob they have abused.

After it is done, of course, the history belongs to the whiny liberal, who caused the problem in the first place. But this matters little to the people who are freed of criminal oppression, and even less to those criminals who briefly decorated sturdy oaks.
