Police aren’t able to control the violence in Kenosha, Wisconsin, so armed private citizens are doing it for them. And much more effectively, apparently.

Private citizens, in many ways, are far more secure in their right to self-defense than the police. If five people launch a violent assault on a private citizen, that person is within their rights to gun down their attackers, and won’t face charges. A cop, on the other hand, brings a lot more baggage including the constant threat of bad PR. This is why the rioters will brazenly attack an armed officer, but not an armed private citizen. This is setting the stage for real flare-ups in violence. Seeing that they can get away with violence, the rioters are emboldened. As more militia arrive to protect property, there will be a clash, and a private armed citizen will defend himself and the property with lethal force. 5, 10, 20 rioters will be killed within a few minutes. This will happen, probably within days. The only question is: what happens next? How will the media report on a clear-cut case of lethal self-defense?
