When Law and Order Break Down ...

Then the people will take matters into their own hands. No one should be surprised by this. McDonald's patrons tackled and beat an armed robber until cops arrived, Chicago police report says - CWB Chicago

A man robbed a McDonald's on November 13th. Then he came back again for more money on November 23rd.

But this robbery ended a little differently. According to a CPD report, Johnson was “tackled, held on the floor, and beaten by unknown bystanders until police arrived.”

Officers arrived to find Johnson lying face down on the floor with “a crowd of individuals holding him down and kicking him about the head.”

The cops detained Johnson, recovered a firearm and extended magazine from his person, and “dispersed the crowd to prevent the offender from sustaining further injuries,” according to the police report. Surveillance cameras recorded the incident.

The bad guy had to be hospitalized from the injuries.

Does this constitute militia action, or just a mob fed up with the breakdown of civilization?

Law and order are certainly breaking down in Chicago, and in the other cities as well. (See this link for one of the latest Cash Jordan videos on the state of NYC.) Society exists to provide security. That is no longer being provided. Without law and order, you can't have nice things. You can't have anything really. Or as Hobbes stated it, when there is no force-of-law to keep people in check, things break down and life becomes "nasty, brutish, and short."

See the entire passage I'm referencing at this link on Hobbes' Leviathan.
