Mob justice vs jack booted thugs. Surely there is a constitutional middle ground?

Surely there is a constitutional middle ground?

That's all I'm suggesting and it won't be perfect. If you've got good strong local law enforcement leadership with a firm constitutional streak, a posse of trusted folks would be good. In this case I don't think it would have taken much to convince people to stay off the street. Even easier if they can be armed in their homes. Just go door to door and ask if they've seen anything. If the folks answer the door armed, its a safe bet that the perp isn't there.

The feds are a whole different issue.
