On Saturday, November 13, [2010] a group of toughs arrived at Don Alejo’s ranch about 10 miles outside of Ciudad Victoria, the capital city of the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Victoria, as it is now called, is about 100 miles due south of Laredo, Texas, and about 80 miles southwest of Brownsville. The ranch sits on a pretty lake where Don Alejo had lived most of his life. He was informed that he had 24 hours to vacate the premises. He responded simply that he would be waiting for them....
At 4 a.m. Sunday morning, several motor vehicles pulled up in front of Don Alejo’s home, with the thugs announcing their arrival by firing rounds from their weapons into the air. What happened next caught them totally by surprise...Don Alejo began picking off one after another of the attackers.
Don Alejo was killed in the attack, but he fell with weapons in both hands; and he took six of the gang members with him. He was 77 years old.

I have always believed in the saying "It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees."
In a society where enough men are willing to stand for something and put it all ont he line, you'll have fewer thugs. If you have enough men willing to do that, you'll have a very miniscule number of thugs - the others will have thought better of the idea or be resting 6' down.
