In other news the sun came up this morning. Oh and Al sharpton is still running his mouth.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, in a fiery Saturday address, demanded criminal charges against all involved in the choke-hold death of Jordan Neely aboard a Manhattan subway train. “If you do not prosecute … you will set a standard of vigilantism that we cannot tolerate,” said Sharpton in his weekly Harlem headquarters appearance. “The precedent alone is a threat to all of us. We cannot allow this lawlessness to go unchecked.”
Lawlessness going unchecked is precisely why vigilantism is on the rise. And guess who’s responsible for that? Who is it that’s been calling for defunding the police and basically hobbling them in the performance of their duty?
The fact of the matter is vigilanteism lower the amount of crime. If it’s a choice between citizen policing and no policing at all, guess which is going to get the job done?
And if you can’t stand a little vigilantism in the interests of saving property and saving lives, maybe you ought to look at the moron in the mirror, who championed hobbling the police, Al.
