Non sequitor du jour: I’d hate to see a return to the kind of vigilantism that leads to public lynching.
Because that’s what led to lynching in 19th century Alabama, was not leaving crime fighting to the 19th century Alabama professional law enforcement community.
I can imagine you or FutureSDguy getting mugged:
instead of “Help! Help me!” you’d yell
“Return to your homes! Return to your homes and let the police take care of it!”
