Quite possible that the DA will drop the charges. They've dropped a lot of charges against this lot.
I wonder if the DA does that the people will start taking to vigilantism for self protection?
Vigilantism is just another word for mob justice. You know, like what this mob does.
That's not true. Vigilantism arises when there is a breakdown in the criminal justice system. In the old west the vigilance committees were very well controlled. They would spring into existence when the law would do nothing because either there was none, or the law was cowardly, or, in more extreme cases the law was corrupted. The San Francisco experience in eliminating the Sydney Ducks as one example, and the citizenry killing the sheriff up in Montana when it was found he was the leader of a gang of criminals.
In Portland we are watching as a corrupt legal system releases violent felons to go back out and attack the community. Eventually the community will have enough and they will react. Aren't you in the slightest bit concerned about that?
