The leader of a church in Hartford, Connecticut, has pushed for the formation of an armed citizen patrol to supervise the streets.
Archbishop Dexter Burke demanded armed citizen patrols after Garden Street experienced a spate of gun-related crimes, including a double homicide near his church in February.
Cornell Lewis, a local activist, spearheaded the effort and launched 'Minister Cornell Lewis' Self-Defense Brigade. '
Archbishop Burke's solution to local violence has drawn criticism from Hartford's mayor, Arunan Arulampalam.

This is what it comes down to - Direct action against the state sponsored(EBT card carrying,get out of jail on no bail) criminal element.
And soon,I hope this will be applied to our electeds...

Didn't we call an armed patrol, the police, at one time.

Bless the good Archbishop; Mom always told me " The Lord helps those who help themselves." It seems as if The Reverend Brown is just another parasitic Democrat!

When justice can't be found, vigilantes come to the rescue. Mr mayor, if you had done your job the citizens wouldn't have to do this, but you left them.no choice.

Arunan Arulampalam…hmmm. His great granddaddy must have fought in the Civil War.

Watched this "vigilantism " response in poc hoods for years to no avail. Hand out some tshirts march a couple of times and when the city bucks run out everyone goes back to the regular Saturday night shoot outs. The only way to stop the circle of shootem is to stop the circle of shootems

We will be seeing much more of this self-help activity in the coming days. As our police forces quit in disgust after having their budgets cut while simultaneously increasing our population of violent criminals they expect American citizens to stand there and become willing targets. I suspect that the "better life" promised to the illegal aliens is rapidly becoming a myth as sanctuary cities run out of money.

And when one of these groups blunders an incident or strays across the line of justice in another, the cry to have the public officials manage policing efforts will rise, and we will have gone full circle (from having police, to defunding them, back to having them again).

What kind of a name is Arunan Arulampalam? Doesn't sound American.

My fav quote: 'The patrol, which has also tasked itself with picking up trash in the community, has elicited condemnation from other local leaders as well. Reverend Henry Brown, speaking on behalf of Mother's United Against Violence, told NBC: 'We are not supporting any individual patrolling the streets. We are about finding solutions and peace.'
How many of those 'Mothers Against everything' know where their kids are on any given night? If you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem

The dumb mayor said he doesn't need citizens patrolling the streets. He meant he doesn't want anyone patrolling the streets. They all must die. Remember when communists and marxists used to mass kill in-your-face millions of people? They have so many ways to kill, steal, and destroy these days. Demons love crowded spaces.
