Idiots Telling Their Citizens NOT To Protect Themselves
There is a rash of break-ins taking place in Thames, in New Zealand. New Zealand already makes it very difficult for people to defend themselves. For instance, although pepper spray is available to be purchased online, it is a restricted weapon and it is an offense to import or possess such weapon.
But, what stood out to me is the advice that its better to NOT defend yourself.
When people asked about what they could do to protect themselves, Sergeant Jared Thompson of Thames police said, “this is not advisable as any weapon lying around the home has the potential to be used by an intruder against the homeowner”.
“The presence of any weapon inherently causes the escalation of any violent confrontation.”
In other words, don’t try to protect yourself. Rely on us. We will protect you. YEAH, RIGHT!
Another post from Cathie Williams read, “I will bash the little bastards if they hit my house or any of my family” while Kaye Manning wrote, “I do not and will not go to bed armed with a pencil and paper.”
But lobby group Grey Power, a senior lobby group, has warned against people, especially the elderly, taking matters into their own hands.
“If someone does break in when you are home, if you come across someone in the middle of robbing your home, keep calm and remember they are a lot younger, fitter and stronger than you are,” Grey Power board member Violet McCowatt said. “You must never, ever try and fight back.”
In my opinion, this is another attempt to get people to rely on Big Brother rather than protecting themselves. Every group and government has to justify their existence. The government, here, there and everywhere, is doing their best to get you to rely on them. But, this is a fools gambit. You cannot rely on any group or government to protect you. Only you are responsible for you and your family’s defense and security. Do whatever it takes to protect yourself and them. Its your duty and the government be damned!

Stupid! What are people supposed to do, leave their safety in the hands of the burglar breaking into their house? The Cops can’t protect you, all they can do is come out, after the fact and take down a report. Ultimately we, as individuals are responsible for our own protection.
self defense weapons
It’s stories like this that really attack an emotional nerve with me. When governments tell people not to protect themselves, even with non lethal self defense weapons, it’s like they want the crime rate to go up so people will have to rely on government to protect them.
Then they can ban all self defense weapons in the name of public safety.
Don’t these idiots get the fact that when you ban weapons, only the honest people stop carrying weapons.

Only an idiot would want to ban personal protection. I am responsible for my personal safety and I will be carrying a personal defense weapon that I can use to defend myself!

At least in the good old USA we have the right to bear arms and protect ourselves.

When this country was founded there were no police to protect our forefathers. We the people have lost our own motivation to protect ourselves in fear of our own government taking action against use for asserting our constitutional rights.

To say the cops can protect every citizen in the UK or any country they lost their marbles. Cops can only do so much. They can help create a safe environment for citizens and investigate after the crime. People need to understand they are responsible for protecting themselves and their family.

What are people thinking when they truly believe you don’t need self defense? This is a very different world than the one I grew up in. In that world, you never locked your doors and never gave personal safety a second thought. That’s the reason we have to educate people about the importance of protecting yourself and your family.
