One thing for sure.
What a government FAILS to protect its own citizens from an invasion from a foreign power, or as in this case from a FOREIGN PEOPLE, then that government has FAILED to do its NUMBER ONE JOB.
At least that's this so called liberal's view of the matter.
I'm not in AZ, so I really do not know how bad things are there.
So I'll leave it up to the sense of the people of AZ to determine what their needs are.
But the PEOPLE have the RIGHT to protect themselves if their GOVERNMENT can not or will not do so.
Yes, how bad is it really? They are now starting an ad campaign saying it isn't really that bad because all their sqwaking has hurt tourism. I suspect it is BAD because it is an election year.
Well that is the question, isn't it?
We live in a world where we can no longer rely on the media to give us unbiased reporting.
I don't know anyone in AZ, so I really have no idea how bad things are there.
That is exactly why I leave that sort of thing to the "good people" of AZ.
I have little doubt that if the reports are overblown, then the good people of AZ will know it.
And if the reports are accurate, then the good people of AZ will take the steps necessary to defend themselves and their homes.
If the government cannot or will not do the minimum thing that is demanded of
every government (to protect their people from harm) then
really... that government is worthless and the people owe
that government no alligiance whatever.
Bear in mind that just doesn't hold for the good people of AZ.
I feel
exactly the same way for good people living in economic shitholes (read most slums in the USA) all over the nation, too.
Our governments have failed them, so I can't blame them for defending themselves, either.
Doesn't matter what color they are, or what their politics are, people have the right to defend themselves if
their GOVERMENTS consistently fail to do so.
Cause if a government won't or cannot AT LEAST protect you from harm by invaders or criminals, you owe that government absolutely
nothing.
