We give up the illusion of safety and make every last person “terrified” they are going to get shot in the face if they even think about robbing / punching / spitting on / etc... another citizen.
I trust myself to make a safe environment for myself and mine. I trust you to make it safe for you and yours... “collectively” everyone makes it safer for everyone else.. Crime will always be a part of life but the power will be divested with the citizens and not centralized in government guns who are at the whim of political agendas.
Now, do it in Ferguson.
