All depends on who's side the "militia" are on, this homeguard is to protect property it appears not kill someone out walking his girlfriend home.
It nothing new down here and it was much in evidence directly after Mubarak and much of the police left.

I think that to allow armed vigilante groups onto the streets could be a wrong decision. They do tend to forget at times who's side they are on and mistakes are so easily committed when a nervous, sweaty finger is on the trigger.
