Is the time to bring back local militias to combat street gangs by patrolling the streets with a seek and destroy mentality?

If desirable contraband exists, street gangs will exist. It's basically an economic law.

If you give people permission to form local militias and attack street gangs, it is guaranteed two things will happen:

  1. The local militias will kill people who had nothing to do with street gangs, sometimes because they got bad information and sometimes because they've been given cover to kill their enemies and shrug and say "gang member"; and

  2. The street gangs will be far better funded, armed, and organized than the militias, and people will soon come to realize that joining a militia is a death sentence.

Death sentence huh? Yea for the dumbass gangs lol social media is all you need to identify the gangs all information would be turned over to the local militia from the government and then the action would be swift not a years long operation you would need to exterminate very quickly. Not hard to figure out who has "bodies" etc .... lol street thugs have left all kinds of a trail and rats will def rat when faced with wrath.

Do you know how much money the cartels have? It's more than the governments where they're headquartered. They can fight Central and South American militaries on equal footing. They kidnap and execute mayors and governors.

You know how long a group of Iowa Good Ol' Boys would be able to stand up to them? About a week.

Sure, the teenagers selling Perc-a-Pops on the corner for twenty bucks aren't hardened mercenaries. But kill just a few of them, and you're gonna meet the actual hardened mercenaries real quick. Or, rather, you probably won't ever see them coming.

You don't have to be a military expert to know that local militias trying to fight the Sinaloa Cartel is a bit like the Philippines declaring war on the United States.

Not a smart plan.
