The point is, that knowing a group of people mean you harm, is it best to wait them out in the hope they change their mind, or they never achieve the means to do you harm, or to solve the problem now for least cost?
I don't think they are going to change their minds, and I don't think they're going to fail to achieve the means of doing us harm.
I think they should be told, fair and square, unless they change their intentions, and provably give up attaining the means to do us harm, then we will force them.
That puts the onus on them.

I have a neighbor through the woods who is building this great big cannon and pointing it right at our house. He talks all the time about getting rid of my family. What could/or should I do?
