Hi Kevin..

Well I kind of see it this way opposing to waiting for the knight rider..not going to happen in that part of the world. I like to think that the posse wont go beyond their call of duty at present. I think these women would battle the legal grounds but I am sure their voices would not be heard, as this is more than likely the case already. This may be the reasoning behind the group banding together. There is power in numbers, and in this a delegated authority figure with-in the group may actually get a political stance. Someone has to wave the flag and stand up.

If one thinks about this particular situation long enough its possible this type of group formation can happen all over the world given a horrendous circumstantial situation, or possible anarchy..

I feel for these women..they are just trying to do what they feel is best to overcome certain oppression in which they exist. They are adorned beautifully for the job no doubt..
