    There’s a lot of grey area there. I mean you personally or close family/friends being in illegal imminent danger of bodily harm, not just generally something you saw on social media that made you mad.

      I mean you personally or close family/friends being in illegal imminent danger of bodily harm, not just generally something you saw on social media that made you mad.

      if social media oversamples for the number of people in imminent danger, what’s your method to avoid undersampling? because outside of those who would trust you with their life and call on you to protect them, the people around you who fall into this category aren’t going to just casually mention “i’m in danger from the state” for what I really hope should be obvious reasons.

        To avoid undersampling, look at what’s happening in your local community. Be aware of shit going down, support those who need food, shelter, protection. And in cases where necessary (there’s a huge decision making process at this point), use defensive force when legally able.
