@futurebird I agree with most of this but we cannot get away from the violence exacted on those considered “weak,” including women and children, by those in power. And it can be anyone from police to the military, criminals, a local bully, a town leader, a teacher, armed or not, openly or hidden. We need some kind of system to protect those who are not safe from those who — from time immemorial and across cultures and countries — have sought to take and harm.
