Connecticut residents form armed group to defend against violent crime
Fox News
To help fend off violent crime in a neighborhood in Hartford, Connecticut, around 40 citizens patrol the streets as part of a legally-armed group called the 'Self-Defense Brigade.'
Bryan Llenas currently serves as a National Correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC) based in New York. In this capacity, Llenas covers national breaking news. He joined FOX News in 2010 as a reporter for FOXNewsLatino.com and transitioned to his role as FNC correspondent in 2013.
When the armed volunteers are not on the streets, the group monitors video feeds from a dozen drones hovering over the neighborhood, and 75 home surveillance cameras in the neighborhood.
"The Democratic 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," Lewis told Fox News. "So we want the people to understand, number one, self-defense is not a dirty word."
