Making That Problem Go Away

I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. When government doesn’t – can’t or won’t – provide the law and order that is its one unambiguously legitimate job, people will provide it for themselves.

And outside of libertarian fantasies, that can be an extraordinarily ugly thing:

On Monday, Haitian police confirmed that a civilian-organized lynch mob captured a group of gang members before beating them and burning them alive amongst gasoline-soaked tires.

Haitian police spokesperson Gary Desrosiers explained that the gang members had been roving the streets of the capital in a vehicle, which was in the process of being searched when the mob took over.

As the Daily Mail reports, thirteen gang members in total were somehow separated from police just before being arrested, and dragged into the street. They were beaten and stoned, then covered with gasoline-soaked tires and set ablaze.

This sort of thing isn’t unknown in America; organized crime and street gangs often bring, if not “law”, at least order to an area.

I’m just not sure if the mewling white progressives in Powderhorn Park prattling on about defunding the police are ready for this.

  1. Somewhat off topic but give me some latitude. The shooter in Cleveland Texas turns out to be an illegal alien who’s been deported numerous times. His victims were also illegals from Honduras. Shout out to Biden! Just being sarcastic.

  2. Pig,
    he beat the guy to death with a shovel, do you think the legislature will want to pass a law regulating the proper and safe storage of shovels? Maybe require a Permit To Carry A Shovel and a state Shovel Registry™

    Smoke gets in your eyes.

  4. “Necklacing” is a Somali specialty. Now that they’ve got several clan members in state and local elected office, got their call to prayer codified, they can move on to Sharia.
