O/T When the police go away, crime goes away.

I have changed my avatar to be more in keeping with the prevailing zeitgeist of MM showing as it does a yob whacking a copper round the head. What you don't see is the cheering audience of Left Liberal BLM supporters. How the heck we have a large prison population is beyond me. I was threatened by two Romanian (I think) peddlers who took a dim view of my not buying their overpriced tat. When they refused to leave my property and threatened both me and my wife I attempted to contact the police. An impossibilty. The online form for reporting crimes is also a joke as you need photographs, DNA and fingerprints of the perps before you can complete the damn thing. I am now an advocate of legal gun ownership.

It's called "Anarcho-Tyranny", part of the Managerial State.

Laws that are supposed to protect ordinary citizens against ordinary criminals routinely go unenforced, even though the state is "perfectly capable" of doing so. While this problem rages on, government elites concentrate their interests on law-abiding citizens.

So presumably when they allegedly threatened you, had you had a gun you would have shot them?

I do have a gun and I have a permit for it.
