\n Just as much as rioting, vigilantism is a violation of healthy social order \u2014 with horrific results in the case of young Kyle Rittenhouse.<\/p>\n

The 17-year-old joined a militia set on \u201cprotecting\u201d businesses in Kenosha, Wis., amid the rioting after a cop shot a black man, Jacob Blake. At some point Tuesday, Rittenhouse wound up far over his head in a confrontation with angry protesters\/rioters. He allegedly shot three people, killing two.<\/p>\n

Wrong as rioting is, none of the vigilantes had any business stepping in: They\u2019re not police officers trained to avoid deadly mistakes like Tuesday\u2019s. It wasn\u2019t their job to protect anything. Nor was it their own property \u2014 indeed, many (if not all), including Rittenhouse, weren\u2019t even from the area.<\/p>\n

Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth understood all that when he denied their request to be deputized: \u201cWhat happ<\/a>ened last night is the perfect reason why I didn\u2019t\u201d deputize them, he said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Yes, the rioters have been out of control since Sunday, when Blake was shot. Scores of businesses have been looted or vandalized and fires set. Thugs have freely smashed cars and destroyed property.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s been needed there and other places where mobs have run amok is for authorities to do their jobs, for adequate law enforcement to take up the positions the vigilantes felt justified assuming \u2014 to keep businesses and the general<\/a> public safe.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all fresh proof of how wrong the \u201cdefund the police\u201d left is: Because idiocy like Rittenhouse\u2019s is one of the all-too-likely results when you weaken society\u2019s protectors, and when politicians hold police back from confronting utterly un-peaceful \u201cprotesters.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one thing for store owners to protect their businesses, as some have done during these riots: That\u2019s a form of self defense, by people rooted in the community. It\u2019s another for yahoos to jump into situations far beyond their ken or control.<\/p>\n

All sides might ponder the tale of New York City\u2019s own infamous vigilante of the crime-ridden \u201980s: Bernhard Goetz.<\/p>\n

Surrounded on a subway by four teens who demanded cash, Goetz pulled out an illegal gun and shot them all. Much of the public \u2014 weary of muggings, robberies, murders and other rampant crime \u2014 cheered, and a grand jury refused to indict Goetz on nearly all charges, despite ample evidence.<\/p>\n

But the city as a whole kept getting more dangerous \u2014 until it started taking crime-fighting seriously in the \u201990s.<\/p>\n

Everything we\u2019ve seen so far suggests the Kenosha cops had no good reason to gun down Jacob Blake. But the fix for bad policing is good policing, not less policing \u2014 which brings a downward spiral all its own.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
