    Self/community defense is the only solution, unfortunately we live in a state* so this is mostly illegal.

    Not state like Iowa, state as in a group of people saying “I feel entitled to your life, resources, and freedom and can call you a criminal and kill or incarcerate you and any self/community defense is criminal too”.

      And any sort of well regulated militia you try to keep would get raided by a veritable Alphabet Soup of agents. So community defense is even less likely.

        Yep, this is part of what I mean by state and why unity is key to any real social advancement (not faux advancement like iphones).
