the fact of the matter is that theft is universally understood to be wrong and a fundamental purpose of government is to prevent it

when a government refuses to do justice it is undermining its own legitimacy and it opening the way to a successor that will enforce laws

if you dont want "fascism" actually the worst thing to do is to fail to perform the basic functions of a sovereign

this kind of thing is grossly irresponsible and everyone involved should be embarrassed for their moral puerility

people who harm others or rob them must be stopped and punished by the state

if the state is not able to carry out this justice, citizens need to be empowered to do so themselves

this should not be morally controversial

the state is absolutely capable of meting out punishment and where it is not it is completely appropriate to allow citizens to act in its stead in the physical defense of their property and lives

@Jogomogo99 i further suggest to you that asking people to sit back and talk about the big picture is not solving the very real problem of massive amounts of crime happening and if you don't find a way to solve it other people will in a way you like even less

so

figure it out fast
