I wish I was of the same mind. I can wash my shower & let it go. Some of these people seem to want to do me & mine real harm. If it was just petty revenge maybe there could be some de-escalation. But what is to be done when every peace overeatur is met with violence?
Seriously, I'm a coward. I arm myself in the hope that I will never, never, have to resort to the use of a weapon in my defense. But what's my choice? Be accosted & deprived of my liberty by a masked 'protester' or risk a court date?
So far I've not been faced with that situation. I hope I never am. I don't know what I would do. I'm as much afraid of feeling a coward as I am of being found a criminal.
