Encouraging:
A protest Tuesday started over a Chicago police-involved shooting and ended when Englewood residents pushed back. Expletives were dropped, and there was pushing and shoving, which forced the protesters to retreat.
A caravan started on 64th and Cottage Grove, and the protesters eventually ended up in front of the 7th District police station, but it didn’t last long.
“If you ain’t from Englewood, get the F*** out of here,” longtime neighborhood resident Darryl Smith told protesters….
“A lot of people saying the looting started because of Englewood. We are tired of Englewood getting a black eye, those people were opportunist,” Smith said.
He says he’s not buying it and he and other Englewood residents had wanted the protesters from Black Lives Matter Chicago, Good Kids Mad City and other groups to leave.
Go here to read the rest. When law and order collapses, vigilantes will arise. Far from ideal, but also far better than mob rule and anarchy.
This is good news. Blacks waking up to being used and destroyed at the same time. It will be really good news when they figure out it is the Democrat Party who are behind this and their slave masters.
And the relationship between Englewood and the local precinct will be a lot more “us” now.
I forgot the source now but recently read a quote: “Policing is a recent invention from the last 200 years in an effort to protect criminals from the public.”
Looks like a lot of America is about to get a refresher course in this lesson.
Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit makes that point frequently.
“Policing is a recent invention from the last 200 years in an effort to protect criminals from the public.”

Similarly, I read an Eye for an Eye, Tooth for a Tooth was actually something of a radical thought–an attempt to keep “street justice” was spiralling out of control and wrecking society.

Perhaps we should bring back stocks and rotten tomatoes/eggs.

Correct. The song of Lamech in Genesis shows what it was an improvement on:
23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
