True story:
I friend of mine went to (Of all places) a outdoor church picnic. He was in a group of 4 friends and were being harassed by a gang of troublemakers in the parking lot for parking to close.
One of my friend's buddies was told by the troublemakers they were going to kill him that night
My friend approached a police officer on the grounds and said they were being threaten. The officer said until he sees someone doing harm, he cannot do anything.
The next morning my friend got the terrible news they did indeed kill his good friend, and the killer was awaiting trial.
The family sue the officer that was working that night, went to court and LOST the case.
Reason, the officer was there to protect all people not just one person or persons under "common law."
Sad world we live in.

That is a horrible story. We all need to realize our safety and our security is our own responsibility. If we don't or can't defend ourselves and choose to outsource our security we will be disappointed in the result in the best case and not survive in the worst case.
