Justifiable homicide in the city shot up 79 percent in 2011 from the previous year, as citizens in the long-suffering city armed themselves and took matters into their own hands. The local rate of self-defense killings now stands 2,200 percent above the national average. Residents, unable to rely on a dwindling police force to keep them safe, are fighting back against the criminal scourge on their own. And they’re offering no apologies. “We got to have a little Old West up here in Detroit. That’s what it’s gonna take,” Detroit resident Julia Brown told The Daily. The last time Brown, 73, called the Detroit police, they didn’t show up until the next day. So she applied for a permit to carry a handgun and says she’s prepared to use it against the young thugs who have taken over her neighborhood, burglarizing entire blocks, opening fire at will and terrorizing the elderly with impunity. I don’t intend to be one of their victims,”

Amri vowed that Iraq would negotiate hard for a larger national quota. He also provided a clue to the government's contracting strategy, which appears to recognize that oil is a source of not only revenue but also geopolitical power.
"Our plan is not to flood international markets. This is not our goal. If we have a spare 2 or 3 million barrels per day, then so be it," Amri said. He later clarified to me that he thinks Iraq will have this "swing capacity" -- that is, the ability to drastically increase production on short notice -- by 2017.

Authorities in eastern Pennsylvania say a 65-year-old man was justified in shooting two teenagers -- one fatally -- who tried to rob him as he rode his bike along a popular river trail. Berks County District Attorney John Adams says the bicyclist acted in self-defense after three teens knocked him off his bicycle in Cumru Township on Wednesday. Police say two of the teens were assaulting the man when he pulled out a gun and shot them. Officials say 16-year-old Julius Johnson died and a 15-year-old was hospitalized. The third teen was uninjured and sent to a youth detention center. Adams said at a news conference Thursday that it was the teens' third random robbery attempt in about an hour. He noted the man is licensed to carry a gun.
