We need the means and a place to archive all such street confrontations for several reasons:
1. To learn. We should also seek to gather as many details as possible so that other may learn how to better respond in the future.
2. As background evidence for when the eventual person uses counteractive and otherwise lethal force against such aggressions, where such videos can be used in their defense.
3. To provide video evidence of the perpetrators of these actions for future prosecutions and/or retribution.
The time has long since passed to complain about the double-standards, the lack of law enforcement, or the actions of the enemy. We must accept reality as it is presented to us. Anywhere can become a battlefield at any time one walks out the door. We are past ‘buy more guns’ and keeping your powder dry.
Realities must be accepted.
Courage must be acquired.
Intelligence must be gathered.
Actions must be taken.
Anything else is asking for repeated aggression.

The problem may be that Oregon criminal law is not up to the task.
