Vigilantes In Our Midst


Recent shootings in the valley have given residents flashbacks of the crime-riddled cities from which they once fled. “Since everyone is so hip on guns these days,” writes Post blogger Keith Hemstreet, “let’s take a page from the Wild West and enact a policy that would make Wyatt Earp proud: ‘If you dare mess with the law, you’ll be dealt with. Not in the court of law, but immediately. In the bar, on the street, in the alley. Tried, convicted, dead and boxed all in less time than it takes a tourist to find a parking spot.’ We’ll encourage the good citizens of this valley to carry guns, as well, giving them full permission to take the law into their own hands if the situation so dictates. Hell, I’ve always wanted to wear a holster stuffed with a six-shooter.”
