When Rule of Law Returns……

 

    In the chaotic times, we often hear the term, WROL or Without Rule of Law. A term that preparedness minded individuals, future vigilantes, criminals and law abiding citizens are familiar with but have different ideas on the meaning. For the most part, it is the state of affairs where the law enforcement agencies are dealing with an overload of incidents from natural & man-made disasters to rioting and mass criminal activity. The law enforcement agencies cannot or will not respond to calls for service due to manpower shortages or an overload of calls for service or even the government becomes defunct. When these incidents occur, individuals, families and communities take it upon themselves to become the protector and defender because no one is coming to their calls for help.

    WROL can be weeks or years but never permanent because order will be restored by the original government or, in some cases, a foreign government will assume power. Either way, rule of law will return and restore the rule of law. When law is restored, there will be an effort to show the public that law has returned. When this happens, individuals, groups, etc will be answering to the perceived criminal activity they may have perpetrated. The foreign power or restored government will make an effort to prove this by bringing people to justice. The foreign power or restored government will need to do this in order to show the public that criminal activity will be punished and will not be tolerated.

    In order to stay on the right side of the law, an individual or group must not go out seeking revenge on an old grudge, looting, killing or other criminal activity just because they believe they can get by with it. WROL is temporary and you will be brought to justice.

    A person or group must act within the bounds of the laws which govern them even though no law enforcers are in place at the moment. The individual or group must be prepared to defend their actions to their community. The activity must be documented much like a law enforcement officer documents his or her actions. Being able to document their reasoning and actions are the minimum. This can be performed by writing an Operation Order or some form of incident report. You do not want to have to recall your actions by memory or hearsay. Proper use of force must also be documented when protecting yourself, your family or community. As history has shown us, vigilante justice is not tolerated on the world stage. A search of history books or internet has shown that you are not immune from a criminal trial just because there was no rule of law.

Joseph Kony of Uganda is still at large as a fugitive for the crimes he committed as a guerilla leader back in the 1980’s where he is accused of abducting children and turning them into sex slaves and soldiers, among other crimes.

Ratko Mladic “The Butcher of Bosnia” was arrested and stood trial in 2011 for crimes against humanity and genocide during the 1990’s.

Maria Kisito, a Benedictine nun was convicted to 12 years in prison for her role of supplying gasoline to the Rwandan militias in order to burn alive more then five hundred seeking refuge in a convent.

Milan Lukic, leader of a paramilitary group during the Bosnian War was convicted of crimes against humanity for the torture and murder of over one hundred men, women and children.

    Rule of Law, you mean when Antifa thugs are arrested and actually GO TO Prison for their very Public Crimes?

    Rule of Law applies to the losers of a ethnic cleansing/Color Revolution/War. The winners will give each other high fives and medals.

    The Nuremburg trials didn’t punish Americans for the Firebombing of Dresden for example.

    The 3 “S”s apply as needed Shoot Shovel and Shut up OR Shoot Skedaddle and Shut up.

    Note I do NOT advocate “getting even” or that Hatfield’s and Mc Coy’s stuff. But if you have to defend yourself I DO NOT Suggest you write up your Confession to the Revolutionary Tribunal as a After action report. Doing so even under nominal Rule of Law today after a “Clean Self Defense Shoot” instead of taking the 5th until you speak to your lawyer *might* get you sharing the cell of ah Interesting Souls.

    The problem as I see it is knowing when Rule of Law has been suspended as our normalcy bias might get us killed by the more criminal among us.

    The American people in general has forgotten how savage folks can get during times of REAL Trouble. Our homeless have CELL PHONES and several I know have Internet on those phones. We have no clue how things will change when a Civil War turns brother against brother and so on.

    Sadly we have a better than 50% chance to find out before January 2021.

      “The Nuremburg trials didn’t punish Americans for the Firebombing of Dresden for example.”

      The accuracy of bombing in WWII was imprecise at best, even using daylight bombing and the Norden bombsights. The air forces of the day bombed industrial complexes, communication facilities, transportation complexes, and the like. If the enemy choose to put those in populated areas then that’s on them.

      To mention the allied, not only American, bombing of Dresden without mentioning the German bombing of London seems to be a bit disingenuous.

        One of the issues with the bombing that the Allies did, is that they would fire bomb, wait about 45 minutes, then fire bomb again to get the rescuers and survivors.

      I think as a Christian we should all do our best to obey God, and remember that God’s laws take precedent over man’s. As far as laws put in place by man, it is best to be on the winning side of the conflict. Some of our country’s history from the war for independence bears that out. Many Americans who remained loyal to Britain were either killed or forced to flee to Canada.

    WROL doesn’t have to show itself as a tsunami, sweeping across a society. It can show up in dribs and drabs. Portland is a case in point. Anarchists and criminals act out as they please without accountability and punishment by those who are payed to provide for a secure society. Our often mentioned two-tiered justice system is another example as the elite are not held to the laws the rest of us are. The application of a Rule of Law by some emergent power can be good or bad. If application of Rule of Law punishes evil-doers, fine. But the new laws applied could remove individual rights, make you a criminal for your religious or political beliefs, or for possessing a firearm. In short, it just not a black and white world.
