Thats the thing tho, any 'street justice' is too far. A group of guys perceives a problem/threat/slight. They respond. Street justice requires that the other guys respond. Instant escalation. Worked with teh irish gangs, the mafia, the modern gangs, heck, even the jewish gangs that used to be around.
(Global Security) The so-called Lincoln County War began in 1878 and dragged on until 1881. At that time Lincoln County covered nearly one-fifth of the entire territory. It was the largest county in the United States. The Lincoln County War was no less bloody than other wars which have struck the area. This particular war arose from conflicts between rival New Mexico cattle barons.
