I used to get harassed and bullied by black thugs in high school. The faculty and cops were worse than useless when I asked for help.
It only ended when I stabbed one of them in the gut. And then nothing happened to me because everyone was more afraid of what would happen if it got on the news.
But I did get left alone after that.
That works. You have an inalienable right to self defense. I assume you went back to your normally peaceful self afterwards.
