I used to be against these laws, but I lived in a tough neighborhood where people looked out for each other. There was a certain amount of street justice. The neighborhood was relatively safe. | I mention illegal immigrants because it seems that the majority of the areas that passed these laws, have a large problem with illegals. Also, I live in Arkansas. I know way too many three toothed, inbred, backwoods rednecks who would love this type of law simply to, and I quote, "keep them damn w**b**** off my property!". Too many of them are just a little too eager to shoot someone for my liking.
The citizenry protecting itself is one thing, but how does shooting a teenager who is running away extrapolate into 'protecting yourself'. Where was the threat?
At what point does 'street justice' become anarchy?
Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard. |
