General Discussion

It's natural for an animal (or person) in extremis to defend themselves. If a lawful remedy is not available for victims.., more specifically, where the law has been co-opted by the perpetrators, it is natural that victims pursue extrajudicial means. I don't use the term "rights" because self defense transcends rights. Anybody that urges that victims must wait* for a lawful resolution even when the criminals write the laws is at best naive, worse a fool, and at worst, a gaslighter. Rights and laws are sandbags to stop rising water. They work until they impoverish, destroy and disenfranchise and then they fail quite spectacularly.
