Harnett County, North Carolina has seen an explosion in violent crime, leaving police overwhelmed and citizens terrified. So the Sheriff asked his citizens to do something to help -- and the left-wing is in a tizzy over it.

Sheriff Larry Rollins told about 130 residents at a community meeting on Monday that they need to “be able to take care of business” until police arrive.

Put simply, Sheriff Rollins wants his residents to be armed and ready to protect themselves and their families.

“I do not go anywhere without a gun,” the sheriff told residents at Spring Hill Methodist Church in Lillington, North Carolina, on Monday.

Libbies don’t like truth. Especially when the news is the government can’t protect you. Not all the time nir do they really want to. They can control, tax, target, harass but hacpve no real interest in protecting YOU in less you are one of THEM.

I got news for the libs. The government is not your friend. They never were.

Well, so many liberals have been moving to North Carolina in an effort to turn North Carolina blue. And they bring their crimes and problems with them

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina’s population has nearly doubled since 1970, fueled by an economic expansion that brought an influx of Midwesterners, Northeasterners and nonwhites and turning the state from a Republican presidential stronghold into a battleground.

Among the new residents: Carol Fentiman, 66, a Chicago native who retired with her husband to the western Carolina mountains seven years ago from California and is a Democratic Party volunteer. And Piper Phillips, 18, a college student who moved here a year ago from Ohio and who will cast her first presidential ballot this year for Barack Obama.

To explain their upcoming votes, both cited women’s health care and abortion rights, civil rights for gay Americans and equal pay for women.

“I’d like to be considered an equal citizen in this country,” Fentiman said.

On the strength of young voters, African-Americans and urban voters — many of them born elsewhere — Obama won North Carolina in 2008 by 14,177 votes out of 4.3 million. He was the first Democrat to prevail here since Georgia’s Jimmy Carter managed a Southern sweep in 1976. Democrats chose Charlotte for their 2012 nominating convention, and polls suggest another thin margin between the president and Republican challenger Mitt Romney

The explosion in violent crime is mostly due to an increase in urban minorities, hip-hop culture, gangs and Democrats. Forgive the redundancy within that statement. Guns might be the only solution to the problem.

So many people move to a place because they like it better than where they were living. ... Then they turn around and start trying to change that place, make it “better” ... only to find that they are turning it into the same kind of place they just left. Here is a hint people, if you liked it enough to move there, respect it enough to leave it alone!

I’ll take Mexicans for $500. This is just what’s happened here in California. Mexicans leave their $hit hole country and then do everything they can to turn CA into the same kind of $hit hole. And you know what, they are succeeding, along with the Hondurans, Guatemalans, and San Salvadorians.

The Republicans own the state now and the Democrats are in full tantrum about it.

Something else Harnett County has seen?

An explosion in the Latino (mostly illegal) population.

I wonder if there’s a connexion?
