Have you thought about Florida?

I hear there's a community down there looking for a new neighborhood vigilante......

As it's unmerciful to those who procure cheap prescription drugs. But I have no qualms breaking certain laws. People need cheap drugs to get better, I don't care what the government says. People need guns to defend themselves. In both cases I'll be happy to circumvent unjust laws.

Detroit and Windsor are a fascinating contrast - Detroit city had 386 or so murders last year for a population of around 700,000, while I believe Windsor (210,000) had two or three. If Windsor had Detroit's murder rate, it would have had 116 rather than 2 or 3.
I don't consider most of those 386 people to be murdered. Rather just justice. If someone murders your friend, it's better to kill him than have him rot away in jail. Detroiters have honor. Canadians have their police.

I lived in Miami for a bit. Would do so again. Just need to secure some money.

Coming from the person who thinks the government wants to either throw the entire Paul clan in jail or to deport them.

My apartment is very small. Anyone going through by force through the front door, will be falling backwards just as quick. I'm a light sleeper.

We have a right to self-defense anywhere within the United States, get over it.

Look at the number of murder victims in Detroit under the age of 5, or who were hit by stray rounds, or who died in robberies. If that's "justice," then I choose injustice.

I can tell you very few. Maybe only a couple of people under 5 are shot or murdered, especially through stray fire. It makes the news everytime it happened. In fact it happened near my house when a fight broke out over a basketball game and someone missed, hitting a little girl. I think she might have been over 5. Tragic, but the guy who missed was shot dead. That's justice.

The vast majority of murder victims under 5 are from parents shaking their babies. I'm not sure if this is counted as murder or not.
