South Africa, here we come.

But, I agree. When the government doesn’t do their job to prosecute criminals and keep them off the streets, citizens will start looking after themselves.[/quote]

My husband has a background in this stuff. I told him he should open a decent security service in the district--not untrained people who stare at thieves as they loot the shelves- but the real thing offering decent neighborhood and home protection. Curious about the interest level. Best would be if neighbors/neighborhoods went in on it together, to bring down the cost. Is this something you would go in on with your street?[/quote]

It was not uncommon in the 90s, I remember it in Georgetown and Lanier Heights. The issue is, back then, a witness was enough to deter crime. Now, crime happens under police cameras, in broad daylight, with witnesses (who recently have been shot at) and within sight of LE. So, would be a very different and more dangerous scenario now, "eyes on the street" is not enough. [/quote]
