Bloomberg News angry - armed Detroit citizens making a difference….

[ezkl2230]

An article appearing in Bloomberg News accuses Detroiters of resorting to "gunning down burglars." The article acknowledges that the Detroit police force has shrunk significantly, doesn't have either the money or equipment to do their jobs, and responses to calls for help can take over an hour.

What really gets them, though, is this:

"Such headline-grabbing incidents belie a 25 percent drop in crime during the first three months of this year compared with the same period a year ago, according to police. Homicides fell to 45 from 68...

More than 29,000 Detroiters are legally armed and more are packing every day. The 6,974 concealed-pistol licenses issued to residents in 2013 were more than double those in 2009. Even more -- 7,584 -- were issued in 2012, according to the Michigan State Police. The number of unregistered guns is unknown."

In other words, while on one hand they deride Chief Craig for telling Detroiters to defend themselves, on the other hand Bloomberg News is forced to acknowledge that CITIZENS DEFENDING THEMSELVES WITH FIREARMS IS HAVING AN EFFECT ON CRIME IN THE CITY OF DETROIT!

Can I get an Oo Rah?!

I didn't get the impression the news corp was expressing anger. The article hits home.

Gee, armed citizens bringing about a reduction of violent crime....who would have thought?

I have no problem with "gunning down" anyone breaking into my home, trying to injure myself or my family. I guess I could allow the two dogs to feed.

Im all for anything that pisses of Bloomberg and all of the rest of the mindless fools that follow him.
