Lincoln Heights Ethnic Militia

Good for them, bad for America.

A small number of neo-Nazis staged a rally in Lincoln Heights, Ohio.

The residents of this all black village felt the police did not do enough about the problem.

So now there are groups of armed residents patrolling the streets.

I hope they can arrange to have an actual police department so the safety patrol members can benefit from qualified immunity.

It would be best if nobody got shot.

But if someone must be, by all means let it be white trash outside agitators.

Ethno-sectarian militias are a response to a state losing its monopoly on violence.

And that, constant readers, is a mile marker on a road we do not want to travel … but we can not pretend this isn’t happening.

Like it says on the masthead here, “we keep us safe”.

And let’s pray this is nothing more than a curiously dressed walking club.
