That assumes that as the intended victim you have the forwarning of their intent.I am suggesting that without the restraint of law and its consequences you could be the victim without any warning,as in some gang infested areas that for the most part exist in a state of lawlessness.
I am curious as to the paying of direct restitution.
Wouldn`t that require,in Al Gores famous words "a controlling legal authority",to enforce that?
This is a sane system to you? This is preferable?
This also glosses over the part about being able to own and carry weapons without interference. You can't fight a fire if you don't have a fire extinguisher because some arbitrary LAW says you can't have one.
Under a libertarian system, courts would still exist. However, adjudication would only come through a mutually agreed upon, and contractually binding, court. Fail to pay up would be the same as not paying a debt or welching on a contract. No one would do business with you. You'd be an outcast. Possible you could starve to death if no one would sell you food. Also possible that your "victim" would just challenge you to a duel and kill you that way for failing to live up to your word.
Bunch of "honor" type stuff all mixed in there. Kinda goes with the territory. You start thinking ethically, next thing you know, you are acting ethically. Honor comes from the realization that your word really does mean something.
It's a neat subject.
