Wonder if he wants to come to black expo next year?

I'll never understand the mentality of people calling this "hilljack justice" (comment #14). There's nothing wrong with Mr Kusar (and friends) protecting his own property. Well done guys.

I think that more sheriffs departments should be willing to offer training to any citizens willing to volunteer and help out. I'm not saying that people should go looking for a reason to fight, but if there are people who are armed and willing to assist... offer them training in citizen law enforcement.

And for people like you I would say...........check into your area's reserve programs.

Army reserve? Or reserve for local law enforcement?

edit: I see you are from Noblesville. I just moved to Noblesville from Westfield and I would be HAPPY to help out the NPD or Sheriff's department if I knew they needed it. I just want a safe community!

I take issue with the comment that this was "vigilante justice."

This was not vigilante justice. It was a well regulated militia defending their wives and children. Our Declaration of Independence argues that governments are instituted among humanity to secure our basic rights and provide for the common defense. It also says that when government can no longer fulfill these responsibilities, it is the right and duty of the people to alter or abolish that government. A well ordered militia must be maintained to provide for the common defense. In this case, the citizens performed their function admirably. They provided for the common defense, and delivered the accused to those appointed to adjudicate the matter. This is not vigilante justice. It is just a basic demonstration of how a republic is supposed to work. Would someone please educate the mayors of Chicago and New York so they can understand how representative government works. Maybe then they will understand they are our representatives, not our rulers.

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^ I think it is great, Reserves, a good idea too..
but you just don't volunteer, for the Reserves, they must "want" you,
and if "they" don't, you can apply all you want, and you're, just wast
ing time, ink, and paper.....

If you're a reserve deputy can you carry in Illinois?

I have done this in every area I have lived in, and in every instance, there were NO open slots, EVER, because the reserve programs were filled to the gills with PD cronies who's only interests were soaking up the $20/hr security money they made working the local festivals and high school sporting events. Most of them "worked" the bare minimum required to hold their slot. In the town I grew up in, one of the reserves "worked" one shift per year, and wrote one ticket on that annual shift.

Sadly, another good idea ruined by politics.

No disrespect meant to the OP of course, just relaying my personal experiences.

I'm going back to the story from the OP. They only had 2 officers patrolling. Which raises my question how does the town or county believe that is a sufficient amount of officers for public safety. For instances what if there were 2 calls that the officers were seperately on and both needed back up?

Most County's have City's, Township, or Village, police departments in them also! so they can slip out and back up other Officers if need be!! We had that same thing in our County a few years back, we only had one car for the whole county after 3:00 am, so the other departments filled in where they could!!

vigilante justice would be someone putting a smoke bomb or insect fogger inside the trailer and 6 guys shoot him as he exited the door.
Thats how I define it.
