so, this shitbag and his accomplice were robbing people at gunpoint...shooting guns in apartment buildings at random
what would your ''free market'' solution to this be?
that's why the cops were lookin for them.....
there were "victims" ....the business owners being robbed & having their lives threatened...they choose not to have a gun around. not everybody in your "free" society will. who protects them?
who gets the shitbags off the street?
where do they get put? in your 'free market' society?
Seriously, Rob is right about one thing. The only person responsible for your protection is yourself. The Supreme Court has ruled numerous times that cops have no obligation, civil or otherwise, to protect you from any danger. You could get raped in the ass right in front of a cop, and if he stood there and watched, or pulled his dick out and started jerking off, he wouldn't be held liable in any way by his superiors.
If you choose not to have a gun around, then you walk around with the choice of an unneeded death lingering over your shoulder every single day. That is your problem and you CHOOSE not to defend yourself.
The people that get the shitbags off the streets in a free market are the same people that do it now, except they won't be criminals called Law Enforcement Officers, and will have an incentive to do a good job (or end up losing it).
Just because you can't use your brain to come up with creative solutions to the problem doesn't mean that they don't exist, buddy.
