I was just over at MSNBC.com, and they have the question "Would you support armed citizen patrols?" There was no article to go with it, but the possibility to e-mail a reply to the question. Would ANYBODY support this idea? I think it sounds outrageous. I'm sure the question is somehow related to terrorism, but wow, I thought this was 2002, not 1984.

No. I would be scared to leave my home..shudders!!

There are too many people gung ho to fight anyone suspicious. Who would control the masses from targeting an innocent person? There is no way I would ever support such an action.

My problem with something like this is that the sort of people who would join are just the sort of people I wouldn't want to be armed or patrolling.
