Bright says it's a sound concepts for people to protect themselves since the criminal justice system is not working. Despite criticism, Bright says he will not budge from his stance.
The mayor says he is not promoting vigilante justice but is in favor of people protecting themselves and their property Bright's comments have drawn mixed reaction from Montgomery residents.
Some say his suggestion is an outrageous response to the area's crime rate http://www.wtvm.com/Global/story.asp?S=3859734&nav=8fapecAQ
I live in a rural neighborhood, an old neighborhood. Ask any citizen who is committing the crimes, The burglaries, selling dope. We all know their names, who they are. The police know too. They arrest them and the slick lawyers get them turned loose before the cop finishes the paperwork, Its always the same ones, or they belong to the same family. Although we dont have many crimes here it runs in spurts.
Sooner or later they rob the wrong person and are found in the swamp,or they commit a crime so blatant even their lawyers cant get them off. That usually slows them down until their younger brothers grow up enough to start the cycle again or they are released. These people know who they can get away with robbing and who is armed and will shoot. The meek wont inherit the earth, they will be ground into it.
I wish he were my mayor.
I lived just outside Montgomery for a year (this was almost 20 years ago). I didn't think much of the place. I sure sounds like the mayor they have now should be teaching other mayors common sense.
Sounds like a bright idea to me.......
Check your keywords. We have a keyword troll this morning. Every three or four threads has been attacked.
Works in Kennesaw, GA. Just ask the Police chief there.

Stats don't lie and criminals watch TV & Read the newspaper too.
Wow, the whole nation is stunned? Idiot reporter.
I feel that a person who is anti-gun should have a sign in their front lawn announcing "THIS HOUSE IS GUN FREE".
As an Alabamaian, born and raised, this isn't something he needs to tell his citizens. Everybody I know owns a gun. It's just common sense around here that if you break in somebody's house, you are probably going to get shot with no apologies.
"Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright is unapologetic and stands firm behind comments he made this week..."
Great! Outstanding!
"..stunned the city..."
hogwash
"..stunned the looney leftists in the city..."
This makes 100% sense the only people "stunned" are the pro-leftist-government loonies of the National Democrats.
Ah, the smell of vigilante justice. That's my kinda fragrance.
That would be the local chapter of the International Amalgamated Looters, Rapists, Muggers, and Thugs (IALRM&T).
