The people of Detroit are taking no prisoners.
Justifiable homicide in the city shot up 79 percent in 2011 from the previous year, as citizens in the long-suffering city armed themselves and took matters into their own hands. The local rate of self-defense killings now stands 2,200 percent above the national average. Residents, unable to rely on a dwindling police force to keep them safe, are fighting back against the criminal scourge on their own. And they’re offering no apologies.
“We got to have a little Old West up here in Detroit. That’s what it’s gonna take,” Detroit resident Julia Brown told The Daily
I had dinner with some folks from Calgary this week and they explained how in Canada there is no justifiable resistance to criminal assault. The victim is supposed to call the police and wait. At lease it hasn't come to that in this increasingly paternalist, socialist, authoritarian state, the USA. In Detroit urban survival is here. Let's hope it's not like this in your neighborhood anytime soon.
