This song seems to go in a lot of different directions. The main point I get from it is how paranoid politicians and police, who may themselves be doing a horrible job of controlling crime, feel threatened and will suddenly focus their attention on "vigilante" groups as they perceived the Guardian Angels to be.
Travis from "Taxi Driver" was a bit nuts, but felt he had high morals. Driving his cab each night he sinks further as he watches the "scum and filth" take over the streets. Anyway, he ends up packing enough heat to make Rambo proud, killing a would-b thief, attempting to assassinate a politician, rescues 13 year old Jodie Foster from her life of prostitution by killing her pimp and various other enablers.
