Our streets are now so unsafe that it might be helpful to rewatch Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry films. They can remind us of an earlier period in the 1960s and 1970s when crime was widespread, liberal judges were putting criminals back on the streets and the entire justice system was anti-cop and pro-criminal.In the middle of a wave of violence that left everyday Americans feeling both threatened and vulnerable, along came a series of movies that captured the desire for law and order.The first and most famous of these was 1971's Dirty Harry, starring Eastwood as Inspector Harry Callahan of San Francisco.

Paul Kersey is what happens when you don't let the cops do their job.
( Charles Bronson's character in Death Wish movies.)

#1 is correct. Harry Callahan would be in prison. Our ridiculous "criminal justice" system is broken beyond repair. We're definitely approaching Paul Kersey territory now.

Murders in many large cities up 50-74%, shootings up similar numbers. Carjackings, armed robberies up the same or more.
THIS is what happens when a small racial minority is told repeatedly that they are "oppressed" and police are punished doing what is necessary to stop violent crime.
An officer in Minneapolis was just convicted of murder when the facts say that the person he "murdered" died of a drug overdose and heart attack. And the officer followed his training in a restraint position which provably did not lower the dead man's blood oxygen level, yet the lying media convinced most Americans that the officer killed the dead man by preventing him from breathing. Blood oxygen level at 98%, and yet the jury says the officer strangled the man.
Facts no longer have meaning. Violent black criminals are supported by the Enemedia because of the media's anti-white racism. And a violent black criminal class thinks that hair-trigger, extreme violence is the legitimate response to every situation. Or no situation at all....just being white causes many to be attacked and injured or killed for no reason other than their skin color.
And the media continues to pour out propaganda that the problem is white police, when the actual problem is black criminals.
Be prepared to protect yourself and your loved ones. The police are being punished for protecting you, and I can't see how they will continue much longer to even try.

I remember going to the theater to watch Death Wish in Southern California. It’s the only movie I’ve seen where there was spontaneous applause by the audience every time another band of thugs was whacked. I sure was glad then that I didn’t live in that crap hole of a city, New York. Now California is just as bad. It’s going to take a super response by civil people to end this reign of terror. We must first overcome the massive media that supports this terror.

I had mixed feelings watching Magnum Force. Even back then, I was conflicted over which side I was rooting for.
I'd be much less conflicted now.

Yes, and another big dose of Charles Bronson, as others have said.

I recently watched "Sudden Impact" on HBO Max just to see how far society has regressed since 1983. Near the beginning Harry famously guns down an entire gang of black thugs who are robbing a diner. When he finally draws down on the last survivor with his S&W he issues the famous Reagan line, "Go ahead punk, make my day".
Harry's partner is a black SF detective named Horace who has his throat cut by the crazed white leader of the psycho rapists that attacked Sandra Locke's character. Before he slits his throat he brandishes his knife and calls the detective "Sambo".
Aside from the morally ambiguous ending where Harry lets Sandra Locke go even though he knows she was killing her rapists I doubt this movie would ever be made today. I will be surprised if it is not eventually cancelled as racist along with some of the other Eastwood and Bronson vigilante movies of the past.

What we need is about 100,000 Dirty Harry's patrolling the streets in every major city.

Keep your powder dry and firearm in good condition. It’s not if, but when.

Maybe in this mean age we've edged across the line between entertainment and cold necessity, when what some have called revenge porn becomes unacceptable as entertainment because various soft-minded virtue signalers are mortally offended, thinking it too suggestive. They don't like the idea of you having to shoot certain attackers; they lose prospective voters that way. No, they want you to wait for the increasingly rare cops to respond to the attack on you. What happens when a home invasion happens at your house? What would you do? Call 911? The fellow in this video called 911, and it still came down to the homeowner having to defend his life in the dark at 0230 against a shadowy figure who just broke a window out. and is coming into your bedroom. (The gunfire comes at 3:58.)
Very spooky, especially the agonal breathing which--you know when you hear them--are one of the two mens' last breaths: "Ahhhhh ... ahhhhh ...ahhhhh." Tragic if it's you or a family member, deeply satisfying if it's the home invader who had his criminal spree cut short.

Thank you #10. Your post, that call, should be heard by EVERYONE. It is horrifying in its reality.
