It is becoming a thing in Los Angeles. California homeowner shot during residential robbery in Los Angeles, authorities say
There are details of a couple of instances, but the overall statistics is what I find interesting.
The LAPD announced in mid-November that it is investigating more than 110 robberies involving at least six different street gangs in which the victims were followed home. The LAPD had issued a warning regarding the "follow-home robberies" earlier in November after a series of incidents.
The LAPD has instituted a task force to deal with the issue, after one such robbery resulted in a homicide, but it doesn't look like that task force has made a lot of progress.
What happens when the Rule of Law breaks down? You end up living in a state that Hobbes described as War. Hobbes' description of the state of war, which exists in the breakdown of law and order is from his book, Leviathan.
