This is my real complaint about the whole tragedy: untrained, unmonitored, self-appointed people arming themselves and patrolling their neighbourhoods for "suspicious behaviour" (i.e., outsiders) are very, very dangerous. This sort of behaviour should be strongly condemned and discouraged (in my opinion.)
