If we arrested them for treason, would the cops protect them?

They have machine guns. No gun control in Mexico?

They took them from the guys who had been enforcing those *no military weapons* laws. Some of those *enforcers* no longer have any need for any things of this world.

Vaya con Dios.

True. But vicious animals frequently travel in packs.

The Three Amigos!!!!

El Guapo and stooges invading Santa Poco.

There's a sequel out. Like the Three Stooges remake, they've got new actors:

“If you recall, the media lied, distorted and completely ignored the 500,000 who came to the 2010 TEA Party rally with Sarah and Glenn Beck”

Perhaps the first thing to do is march on the media.

“Vigilantism was given a bad rap by the crooks in the Establishment to protect themselves from righteous citizens.”

I watched westerns on TV in the 50s and 60s. I remember that many of the shows were anti-vigilante propaganda. I can’t remember a single show showing vigilantism in a favorable light.

Now, about your screen name...

“The militia shot some tourists for not stopping at a roadblock. Not good.”

They went to Mexico as tourists.
They either did nhot know about or failed to understand what was going on in the town.
They failed to stop when told to do so by armed men.

As Heinlein said, in nature the penalty for stupidity is death. The sentence is executed immediately, and there is no appeal.

They were lucky to come out of it with their lives.

“Revolution on the left, revolution on the right, populist takeover, dictatorship of privilege, capitalist exploitation. It all comes out pretty much the same in the end. It’s a sad thing to watch.”

So what are we supposed to do, just sink to our knees and wait for our beloved Constitution to be tossed on the ash heap of history by despicable scoundrels, curs, and pickle smoochers?

By the way, what you call “capitalism” is by its very nature non-exploitative. If exploitation is occurring, then there has been a distortion of the natural order of things.

See “The Fatal Conceit: The Errors of Socialism” by Hayek.

It depends where you are. Americans managed to pull together and, despite their flaws, create a free country. Latin America, on the other hand, seems unable to do so, with rare exceptions.

And forget about Muslims. There are decent and honorable individuals, but their religion and culture won’t allow a free society. In fact, Islam doesn’t believe in free will, unlike Christianity and Judaism.

Wow.

Watch out D.C.! Pretty soon you’ll see us crossing the Potomac. Keep your eye on the horizon.

Re: Thousands of armed vigilantes takeover Mexican town

Gadzooks! Don't these people know... Mexico doesn't allow its citizens to own guns?

I went to Mexico once and they took away... my bullet!

I’m thinking that might not be anywhere as easy as that gentleman assumes.

I read this early this morning and thought about posting it and pinging you two.

Look at their weapons. Mostly shotguns and old bolt action single shot rifles from an indeterminate era. They will scavenge the AA area good and get some better firepower.

This is not an isolated item.
It won't be long until the Zapatistas and other 'revolutionary/communist/socialist' groups jump onto this movement and try to subvert it.

They are 'professionals' at doing things like that.

Yes, it does sound very much like our executive branch con artists who are as corrupt as any gang of Mexicans.

This is more about citizens rising up against corrupt government than it is vigilantism.
