The topic here is simple, this thread is a simple debate on the community's views on private militias in Western Society.
Particularly the type of militias that have sprang up in a rapid fashion throughout countries like the U.S. in recent years.
All I am looking for is some honest opinions, whatever they maybe on the matter in your own words, not links to news articles.
I will start with mine:
I feel that the U.S. media has done great strides to demonize private militias forming all around the U.S. And that Congress has scoffed at the idea dispite the rise in the forming of militias.
Furthermore, I also see that many of the miltias seemed to be composed of individuals who really don't have any clear purpose, and that the mere participation in a militia seems to be almost for a recreational purpose.
Thus Far I also notice that many of the privately started militias are really, at least in my experiance with them, just harmless, composed mainly if not in some rare cases entirely of ex military or law enforcement personel, who for the most part take no interest in disrupting our society or in any acts of violence. And really seem and often state that they just wish to help better their communities, participate in preaching and spreading awareness of the rights given by the U.S. Constitution in a nonvoilent fashion.
HOWEVER,
Another more alarming trend I have noticed in the expolsion of private militas in my country at least, is that a very small number does seek out and encourage armed confrontation with government on almost any level, and a number of these "3 percenters" are based off racial or ethnic hatred for their core values.
It's these small number of radicals that not only seems to put the idea (which actually is cemented into law since the founding of this country) of a private civilian militia in the unnessary and negative media and government spotlight. But seems to jepordize many rights we now enjoy via the protection offered by the U.S. Constitution.
Any thoughts on the matter of armed private militas in Western Soceity?
Also note by private, I do not mean corporate sponsored, or in anyway affiliated with a business, I mean by average citizens who are not or no longer assosiated with traditional military or law enforcment services.
