St. Louis alderman encourages residents to get armed

ST. LOUIS - A city alderman 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.

I thought the readers here at ATS might find this interesting.

Here in Washington state where I live there has been a lot of news coverage regarding cut backs to law enforcement due to budget short falls.

As the economy worsens and jobs and money dry up it would seem to be a rather bad time to reduce law enforcement.

Are we as Americans at the point where we need to be prepared to rely more on ourselfs and less on the police for our own protection?

Are you in a position to protect you and yours?

Do you believe an armed population is a good idea?

NOTE TO MOD; there is a thread on this already please delete THANKS/SORRY
