Armed with rifles, a ‘mudroots’ Detroit group wards off crime

Rather than being threatening, New Era Detroit’s open display of guns — broadly legal in Michigan — is hailed by many people for protecting Black women in dangerous neighborhoods at night.

Crime dealt with at the local level, what a novel idea. Own the neighborhood.

Good for them. Black men and women protecting other black men and women from black men and women.

Kind'a like a neighborhood watch group, on steroids. There are good people, of all colors, who live in bad 'hoods who could use some protection.

I saw the 'Mudroots' story on the interweb this AM. My 1st thought was, it's a good thing. And I still think it's a good thing, in theory. The thing is though there's soooo much opportunity for a "shit hit the fan" thing to happen. All in all, I wish the do-gooders well and hope no one does something stupid.

I read most of that and I like the idea, but one thing occurred to me. Replace black guys with guns with white guys and guns you would be called white supremist.

I’m not sure how else it can be dealt with. I was in NYC today to visit a friend and I’ve never seen a more ineffective bunch than NYPD today. Overweight officers taking to each other rather than being useful. Who are they even intimidating? Not me. If anything I’d be protecting them if shit went down from the looks of it.

Maybe they should focus on community outreach at least if they’re not focusing on being physically up to date.

I have seen many videos and still shots of the Officers of the NYPD, what a horrible looking group of people. So many are extremely obese. They appear to be out of shape. I have seen a few videos of them trying to arrest people and many look like they have learned nothing in Defensive tactics. Absolute embarrassment.

But they got their vaxx.

It is good and I’m glad they are doing it where the government and authorities fail. However if it was white people they would be labeled a terrorist grouping so I have a problem with that.

Let them label what they wish. I don’t need the approval of society.

“Are you going to stop me? Can you?” That’s what I want to know about society and enforcement when it comes to bringing my opinions into reality.

If no, then fuck people filled with opinion and lack of volition. I don’t need the opinion of those who are weak of mind and will. My business isn’t there’s till they come for me.

You guys are too hard on the NYPD. They are extremely entertaining when trying to chase down a shoplifter...

Love it. Itd be great to see this in every town and city in the US. An armed society is a polite society.
