Yesterday, we reported that gun sales were growing at a record pace and many stores were selling out as a result of the rioting and looting. I can only imagine that talks of defunding the police are boosting sales even further as people seek to protect themselves.
I find it ironic that those who claim to hate the police are often the same folks who need them the most. If there are no police, those on the lower socio-economic rungs will become ready victims for every criminal. The rich will just pay for armed security, and armed security will show far less restraint than most cops.
Anyone who wants to see what it is like without the rule of law should travel the third world a bit, especially some of those countries that the State Department has warnings about. It will give you a whole new appreciation for justice, fairness and law and order.
