Armed vigilante militias are now patrolling towns in Mexico as a response to the governments failure to provide protection from criminal drug gangs. How far away is America from a similar situation?
Theyre keeping out the State and Federal Army & Police, and crime has plummeted.
Theres a lesson in there somewhere
Crime is way down in Ayutlafor the moment, at least. Residents say kidnapping ceased when the militias took charge. (Mauricio Palos for The Wall Street Journal)

The fate of the accused will rest with the villagers, who will act as jury and judge. Militia leaders say the accused men and women wont be allowed lawyers. (Mauricio Palos for The Wall Street Journal)

Since our "government" is the biggest drug-smuggling organization in the world (by far), it's only a matter of time before this happens.
CIA/DEA Mayan Express/Rendition Jets caught being used by CIA cocaine/heroin runs and then Wachovia owned planes crashing with same and Laundering $357 Billion.

A few years back, long before F&F (Bush years), there was a Chevy Suburban full of guns from the US embassy in Mex City that got shot up by the federales. A "US ambassador" or two got killed.
Wasn't in the news much.
