But armed civilians are dangerous

Raw Story:

Faced with escalating hostilities from communist rebels and a volatile Muslim insurgency in the south, the Philippine government is planning to recruit and arm civilians to help maintain peace and order in the country. Under the government’s strategy, the armed civilian militias would become “force multipliers” in the fight against insurgency, terrorism and crimes by gathering intelligence, serving as back up to troops and conducting community patrols.

The plan brings new meaning to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s call for stronger cooperation between a vigilant public and government security forces.

    Armed civilians are dangerous—to criminals and tyrants (or the agents thereof)

    Ron, sure, but when did the Indonesian government leave the “tyrant” category?

    My comment was just a general response to: “But Armed Civilians are Dangerous”–however facetious or however it was meant.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
