By their inaction, unwillingness to support the honest citizenry, and as such, tacit support for violent criminals, this is creating a very high risk for vigilantism.

I do not be vigilantism in a negative way, either. Because *real* vigilantism almost never begins with violence, but is a means to petition government to do its job and protect the public from criminals.

Only after a vigilante organization has tried repeatedly to get government to act, and usually only after government has attacked the vigilante organization, seeing them as a bigger threat than the criminals, do the vigilantes finally lose patience.

But even then, they just want to drive the criminals out. Only if the criminals resist will they end up being harmed.

Yet this process, the process leading up to vigilante violence, is always ignored, and vigilantes are cursed for “taking the law into their own hands”. Though the truth is they only did so, because those who were supposed to, refused.

There is another type of vigilante, however, the “Paul Kersey” (Death Wish) type, who is not a true vigilante, but a revenge killer assassin. He does not try to stimulate the police or government to do their job. Instead he goes “hunting” for criminals, where they commit their crimes.

And only when they attack him are they surprised that he is armed, using the excuse to defend himself, but in reality with the intent to murder criminals.

These kind are relatively rare, but are very effective in policing up the “Sons of Obama” who are menacing an area. Because when one or two of them are killed, the rest scatter and lay low for a while, being a cowardly bunch.
