YOU WOULD MOVE.

No I would not. In 2002 I had threats soon after 9/11... FBI got involved. I stayed until the investigation was completed and people arrested (sitting in jail now).

Oh baloney. No you wouldn't.

Under the conditions I laid out, where the police and courts have absolved themselves of any enforcement of the rule of law and preserving the peace, and the last resort is "frontier justice" that ensures the survival and safety of my family??

Just try me.

I might not be blatantly public about it, but I can guarantee you that I would take whatever measures necessary to ensure the survival and safety of those I love, including the elimination of those who have sworn, both verbally, and by their actions, to try and exterminate them.

Fortunately, for those of us who live in the US, this is not really much of an issue.

But for those who live in other countries, where the rule of law has broken down into a state of violent Anarchy, the only law that matters is the kind that eliminates your enemies before they eliminate you.

Like I said, you need to get out into the world someday.. Go visit a place like Somalia where the only security you have is banding together into a collective gang for mutual self-protection.

YOU WOULD MOVE.

Well then, why isn't this the case with the Palestinians and followers of Hizbullah? They haven't moved. And they continue to pursue a strategy of exterminating the Jews living in their midst.
