Militias work. They are just the men in a community who defend the community. A little organization, communications and training can go a long way.

We are going to need to revisit this before too much longer.

It’s the same problem everywhere.

It’s not realistic to have law enforcement or security personnel, everywhere at all times. It’s not realistic to have law enforcement when civil society breaks down (think Katrina or LA Riots - even here in the US).

Example, the school resource officer that has become common today. One person CANNOT even remotely cover the area of a small school. In fact, anyone serious about an attack would simply walk up to him and shoot him first (say in between classes when many are moving around). If there is an attack, the best he can realistically do is report to whoever is reacting to the threat, but other than an idiotic suicidal “bum rush” that officer can’t effectively do much. That’s why ridiculing them (the cop) post attack isn’t right either. How would security work at schools? If you had multiple teachers/staff armed who are spread out in the school and likely at the right time and place to react if something does happen. If the attacker does not know who is armed (also acts as a deterrent). But that is not something we would do.

You are responsible for your safety and security. The idea that government does all that for you only works as long as the lights are on and there’s no angry mobs in the street, which does happen even in the US.

Great post. I don’t spend much time on FR anymore but I browse and share good content.

I’d post it on TwitterX too but I’m permabanned.

4.7 LEVÉE EN MASSE

A levée en masse is a spontaneous uprising of the inhabitants of non-occupied territory
who, on the approach of the enemy in an international armed conflict, take up arms to resist the
invading forces, without having time to form themselves into regular armed units.

Participants in a levée en masse are entitled to the privileges of combatant status, provided that
they carry their arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war. (p 124, DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE LAW OF WAR MANUAL)

This is the most explosive revelation of the attacks.

Until 10/7, I had no idea Israel had willingly made itself so vulnerable.

Everything breaks down the the individual. The Founders knew this.

Political power... starts with one person.
Self Defense. You are your own best first responder.
Productivity. One person profiting from the efforts of their own labor.

Etc...

The further we get away from this, the worse off our Country... and other Countries, have gotten.

Sure... band together for common causes... but never lose that primacy of the Individual or you end up with sh*t like Hamas being able to easily slaughter disarmed sheep.

Or our own government being able to put political prisoners in jail with impunity...

With all the illegals from all parts of the globe pouring across our southern border unchecked, it is not difficult to believe that terrorists are among them and that sleeper cells are already formed. We should expect terror attacks on schools, hospitals and shopping malls as well as random acts of terror. In many areas our defunded police and lenient criminal justice system has allowed crime to flourish and thus they would be incapable of meeting a terrorist threat. We may well have to rely on armed citizen militias to deal with terrorists.

1300 dead Israeli civilians was a small price to pay for sensible gun control.
