I thought this was interesting as just like how Texas state decided to use it's national guard to enforce border control over blatant federal inaction, people are turning to private groups to protect their property over police inaction and even assistance to squatters.

Shows there's at least the will to not comply to the establishment and that the power vacuum they created is being filled by the private sector. The same guy I linked had a previous video showing a heavily armed security group protecting a gas station so don't be surprised if blue areas are no longer under police protection but multiple private security contractors.

Organized crime traditionally took care of things when cops won't. Yeah, you had to pay protection money on top of taxes that go to the worthless justice system, but at least the dindu that robbed your store will "disappear" after you tell Tony about it, instead of being released bail-free next day by an activist judge/DA.

Cuba? I feel it was some place S of the continental states but can't recall exactly.

Isn’t this basically how the Italian Mafia got started. Wise guys doing things for people who couldn’t call the cops.

Or in this case, Summarily Shoot Squatters.

Well, this was an eventuality. Nature abhors a vacuum. When you need a service, and it does not yet exist, or has been turned against you, someone is going to make it. And profit from it.

this is my house, and it is my god-given right to turn it into a tomb for federal agents or thieves.

Feds OR thieves? Same thing at this point.

It's interesting how they're using legal arguments and intimidation. I'd prefer a squad who never says a word and just breaks all their legs.

Do you know how the Sicilian mafia, or Cosa Nostra, first came into being? In the chaos of the Risorgimento, there was no state to enforce contracts and private property rights, so the 'men of honor' provided such services instead. When the Italian state established its authority. CN was so firmly rooted that it took a century to reduce its influence to what it is now.

Oh, no! Migrant camp bracelets are already using as many digits as the tatoos at Auschwitz! It's a second Holocaust!

In all seriousness, the left is setting America up for its own version of the Holocaust. How do we genuinely rid the country of all these invaders without resembling Nazi Germany?

The answer is we don’t.

I point out that there are no Christians left in Iraq.

That's step 1.

Step 2 is when vigilantes start enforcing justice on the 'authorities' who have abdicated their responsibility.

Keep in mind part of the "revolution" is the revolutionaries riding in to restore law and order to fix what they started in the first place.
