The Bomb.

And I mean, your post is "the bomb", and I would choose THE BOMB.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

Excellent. This reminds me of a true story from years ago. I don't remember where it was or the name of the town, but this thug was terrorizing the citizens of the entire town and the cops could do nothing. This went on for years. Finally one of the citizen's stood up to him and shot him when he threatened his wife and kids. The guy did jail time, but the entire town supported him. It's one of the few instances where the killer should have gotten off scot free. I was so angry that he had to do hard time. He was just a decent, average family man who had had enough.

Man, this is a bad neighborhood. I'd move! I'd move to a gated community (SDI) but wait. There's no time now.

I KNOW! We'll have the homeowner's group (the Neighborhood watch bunch) give him yet another warning and shake their fingers at him ONE MORE TIME! THAT will surely do it.

This is a most excellent analogy. I want to show this to all the idiots I know who oppose the war. I simply cannot believe these people can't see what's so obvious. But I don't want to send them to FR if they don't belong here. Please put this up somewhere else so we can link to it, or give permission for it to be copied.

My so-called neighbor would get to find out just how well armed I really am, and just how a good shot I am.

There are a number of instances from the 19th and early 20th centuries of persons in similar situations acting on their own initiative, taking out the menace, standing trial for murder for it, and being acquitted on the grounds that they had done a public service.

In some remaining rational jurisdictions, such as Texas, "He needed killin'" is considered a valid defense. God bless 'em!

a good analogy...

An analogy but how good is an analogy if it is an incomplete analogy.

Everyone knows that this guy has machine guns, grenades, and stun guns... pretty much the same weapons that everyone else has too.

Same weapons as everyone else seems natural.

But he's also known to have tear gas, ricin, napalm, and even anthrax.... weapons that only a few neighbors also have.

Who was the good neighbor who provided these weapons?

One option would be to go about your daily life and ignore him

When has he ever been ignored? Didn't you support him at one time? Has he ever been ignored since then?

killing him, his kids, the tunnels, and all the weapons in there. Not very "clean", but it would solve the problem once and for all.

How does it solve the problem once and for all?

If he gets shot, then he’s no longer a threat

Agreed

Neighborhood Committee to keep sending inspectors into his house
But the inspectors will find them eventually, won’t they?
How long is “eventually” anyway?
How much work could he get done on that bomb in the meantime?

How much work could he accomplish while being inspected?
