214. You misunderstand the quote
You have the luxury to eschew violence because soldiers and policemen exist. They stand to defend those who are unable or unwilling to do for themselves.

My gun has nothing to do with you. I retired from the Army long ago. I am under no legal imperative to protect anyone. I would be mildly curious on how you would handle the quandry?

If you were the victim of an unprovoked violent criminal attack and someone intervened to stop your attacker would you complain? and to whom?

Is being a victim just bad karma and learn to live with it?
