The Self Defense Brigade. Keyword: Self. We can depend on no one but ourselves.
“A predominantly Black neighborhood in Hartford, Connecticut, hoping to fend off violent crime, has turned to an armed group of citizens to patrol their streets by land and by air,” Fox News reports. “The so-called ‘Self-Defense Brigade’ — made up of about 40 legally armed citizens — are voluntarily patrolling the streets of Hartford’s North End wearing body cameras mostly on nights and weekends, according to the group’s founder, Cornell Lewis.”
“The Democratic machine in Hartford is either unwilling or unable, incapable of doing it, and people are paying their tax dollars, and they’re not really getting any kind of service,” Lewis explains. “So, we want the people to understand, number one, self-defense is not a dirty word.”
So naturally, as Breitbart notes, “Mayor Arunan Arulampalam (D) is denouncing residents of a predominately black community for arming themselves to fight violent crime.”
