When PC stupidity or blatant self-interest effectively deprives citizens of the protection they've already paid for;
when the Constitution is being shredded and the lives and property and ideals of those millions who've worked to uphold it all these years are being callously put at risk;
then there may very well come a point at which 'vigilantism' and patriotism will become synonymous.
We're not talking Charley Bronson movies here, or hysterical lib mouth-foaming misappropriation of the language, but an historically defined term.
I have in mind groups of otherwise law-abiding citizens organizing to protect themselves in the face of the indifference and/or incompetence of established authority/s.
Because when push comes to jihad, the only difference between self-defense and 'vigilantism' is a semantic variable dependent on the address of your particular gulag.
