but I DO have a choice, it depends on where you are, I am nowhere near a big city or even a large town.

I do NOT trust people.

I don't want WROL but if I have to I will defend me and mine, I used to admire the police but that stopped about 1990, the modern coppers are in it for what they can get, money, promotion and power, they don't give a s#it about you or me!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

Don't agree. We had moral laws in place long before that. We are not starting from scratch.

The riots always stop on their own. People get fed up and go home. So regrouping didn't really have that much of an impact.

The policing systems doesn't hold that lawlessness at bay. It is peoples morals are their support of the laws.

There are more and more people that are not following the laws and once they cross the line they find it easier to do so every day. Eventually, either the police will step up and hold it at bay or there will be vast areas where they are unable to go.

And nobody sensible wants WROL. OK it would be handy at first as we right a few injustices but then t turns into who is the strongers, most ruthless and that benefits no one.

RE: Feeling safer in a dangerous world.
In parts of the US from Colorado, remote areas of Texas up to Montana and Idaho, huge swaithes of Canada, the Northern Territories, Alaska, Scotland, Scots isles the police presence if often many hour or days away and often only if the weather will let the cops fly or boat in, but those remote communities maintain civilised behaviour and rule of law. And is no coincidence that in many places the public faith in the law is in terminal decline, they see the police as agents of the state rather than keepers of the peace. or worse utterly inept and incompetant and not to be trusted or contacted.
