Default St. Louis City Leader says Police Ineffective, Tells Residents to Get Armed

Quote:
ST. LOUIS — A St. Louis city leader frustrated with the police response to rising crime called Tuesday on residents to arm themselves to protect their lives and property.
Alderman Charles Quincy Troupe said police are ineffective, outnumbered or don't care about the increase in crime in his north St. Louis ward. St. Louis has had 157 homicides in 2008, 33 more than last year at this time.
"The community has to be ready to defend itself, because it's clear the economy is going to get worse, and criminals are getting more bold," Troupe, 72, said Tuesday.
Troupe said that when he and residents approached a district police commander last year, they were told "there was nothing he could do to protect us and the community ... that he didn't have the manpower."
Police did not immediately return requests for comment. Chief Dan Isom told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he understands Troupe's frustration but doesn't support citizens arming themselves.
Carrying guns, he said, is not a "recipe for a less violent community."
Why do they still have a PD when it's not working? :banned:

WTF is wrong with the major / governor of this city? They need to FIRE the police chief and find somebody who can do a better job at keeping public safe.

I hope that Obama doesn't take our gun rights away from us. I don't like to see his National Civilian Security Force in my neighborhood either.

People in Maine have been doing it for years, very few breaking and entering cases in Maine, the "Maine Bad Guys" know that if there are five people living in a house they also have Five Guns in there with them.

Example Story:
About ten years ago in a small western Maine town some Drug Dealers came up from Lowell Mass to settle a Drug Deal Gone Bad, they broke into a small farm house at 3:00 AM, the stupid baggy pant bastards never knew what hit them, the clowns made so much noise outside they woke everybody in the house up, as soon as they got through the window Four Guns were blazing away the two Morons were dead before they hit the floor, instead of being arrested the Sheriff shook hands with them and said "good job" the best part of this was, the Idiot drug dealers broke into the wrong house.

When in Maine and you see some pretty young housewife walking around the Mall with a Fanny Pack on nine times out of ten she has her little handgun in it.

Most gun related murders in Maine are "domestic" the shooter and the victim usually know each other.

If eight people are living in one house in Maine it is pretty certain that there are eight guns in that house.

Because we have a constitution in this country.. it is that simple.. if you don't like it change it..

you keep posting the same crap over and over, with the belief that the more you post this crap someone besides Harry will believe it..
