This is the existential battle of which I have a ringside seat. I also have a corner stool for my part of this bout when the 'bell rings' (crime appears) in my personal and professional lives;
We need look no further than instances of 'recreational rioters' assaulting DC police officers; a force whose orders are to cater to their every whim. Escalation is happening every weekend and won't end well;

Hopefully Georgia's governor and federal authorities can bring their considerable resources to bear. There's a now-lethal lack of political will locally to end these riots and save lives;
The shopping public can help restore safety by demanding merchants and elected officials treat 'retail gladiators' like the serious public safety and commercial threat they are;

I'm still 'Cap Black' to this day. Though I consider myself a distant first cousin to the 'real life superhero' community despite supporting the concept.;
