Sadly, things have to be done to protect ones life and property, and if there is no alternative, those things must be done decisively. It does not matter if it is direct confiscation or changes in social order that usurps written rules, basic structural changes that are forced by one group on another are justifiable cause for self defense. I can understand the need for patrol groups as it is one of the topics of conversation my friends and compatriots have when they get together.
I do fear that the probable financial tsunami we are facing will change the character of most countries before much longer and the thinking of everyone is going to be challenged.
Indeed mate, indeed. Just burns my ass that people see shit coming and sit and wait till the bad action is needed to correct things
