And leftists will decry and condemn it as *vigilante justice*.
Tough beans.
It's theft, plain and simple, and if the government isn't going to protect the people it is supposed to be serving but rather protects the criminals, then they should not be surprised at the result.
At this point, the government itself becomes the cartel, the criminal organization, and should be dealt with appropriately.
So much for our representatives representing the people who voted for them.
Then again, they are representing the people who installed them in office.
All governments begin as criminal gangs.
All governments end as criminal gangs.
