lol none of you would have survived on any street in the 1800s. Citizens did not maintain order in a lot of places. Some got lucky to get a bad ass in as Sherrif to clean up the streets but most had to put up with a lot of abuse and a lot of murders. A town with 20,000 people back in the 1800s had 3500 murders a year think about that. I dont know where the hell you ever got the impressin it was law and order it was the exact opposite of that. That is how the police force came in.

So every single person in town is murdered within 6 years?
