Hartford, Connecticut’s, Mayor Arunan Arulampalam (D) is denouncing residents of a predominately black community for arming themselves to fight violent crime.

The New York Post reported the residents, approximately 40 in all, are calling themselves the “Self-Defense Brigade.” The armed residents patrol the streets of their neighborhood at night and keep an eye on homes and businesses via drones.

The brigade was founded by Cornell Lewis, who told FOX News, “The Democrat machine in Hartford is either unwilling or unable, incapable, of doing it, and people are paying their tax dollars, and they’re not really getting any kind of service. So we want the people to understand, number one, self-defense is not a dirty word.”

Is ‘pick’ a genderless term? Asking for a friend?

The mayor said, according to the article, “...what we need is for those who love this city to do the hard work of healing that pain...”

Preventing future pain would seem to be a good part of that hard work!

Maybe they should just close down Hartford. Is it really needed except for the capitol building?
