Cheran: The town that threw out police, politicians and gangsters - BBC News
Interesting article about a town that essentially formed a militia and threw out the organized criminal elements, fired the police, and made political parties illegal. Its kind of a microcosm of what many people say they want for the U.S. under the idea of an armed society is a polite society and government by the people (barring major crimes that still go to an legal entity). It also discussed armed checkpoints at all vehicular entry points to the town, which is probably helpful but a little comical in that--at a glance--it appears to be the definition of a police-state, unless you see its self-driven I guess. Interesting place, at any rate.
.....all I know for sure is its doomed to fail if this joker can't get his rifle at 45 degrees.
