Fear and uncertainty are understandable after the shocking attack in the Drau town - but a vigilante group is an unpredictable risk. Police spokesman Rainer Dionisio explains why to the "Krone".

Safety vests, radios, pepper spray, stun guns - the proposed vigilante group will use these items to patrol the streets of Villach in future, recognize dangerous situations and apprehend perpetrators. At least that's the plan. The police (as reported) are not happy about this - on the contrary, they see great dangers.
