      Sigh.

      Guns are bad. Cops are bad.

      And you can’t fight.

      Who or what protects you from violence at that point?

          Right. There’s no one in prison for violence against commoners.

            That’s some after the fact shit. After the commoners were already violated, because the cops won’t or can’t and definitely have no interest in protecting them.

            How many are in prison for violence against the powerful?

              Police can’t follow everyone around 24/7. Are you saying there are no instances of police protecting commoners from violence?

              Also, are you trying to argue that we shouldn’t have police to imprison people “after the fact?” You think these people should just get to roam free?

                  Why are you getting so mad?

                  I’m asking you questions. If it’s not what you think or what happened, then say so.

                    If someone goes to jail for violence against me, I haven’t been protected from violence. That’s literally all I’m saying. Why are you putting random words in my mouth and asking me questions about that shit?
