Better Than A Cop – Saved By A Deer
A 20 year old student of Miami University learned the hard way that police protection is nothing more than a fallacy. While stepping away from a party Friday night, the unidentified woman was attacked from behind, choked with her own purse, punched in face and dragged to a near by field.
We all know the police “claim” to protect you but the fact is, this woman was seconds away from being another statistic. Due to the government’s monopoly on protection, the police are spread far and thin, while spending a majority of their time on revenue generating crimes, like vehicle violations and peaceful drug users. They lack the actual ability, focus or desire to focus on crimes with actual victims. Today it would be nothing more than random luck for an officer to be around when you actually need them.
Instead of privatized protection, which would focus on preventing crimes instead of generating revenue by creating crime, this woman was left to wait for the police. Who would have showed up, chalked a body and filed some paper work after the crime took place. But with protection privatized like all other services, the owners of the condominium may have hired security gards and/or camera systems. This way if some customer, a renter or owner of their condominiums, were assaulted the protection services would be on site (cause seconds matter) or security cameras to help catch would be criminals after the fact. Though most criminals would be deterred from creating problems on property when security is high priority.
This young woman, unable to protect herself (due to gun regulation), or ability – freedom – to pay for her own protection was left to rely on an impossible protection system. One so poorly designed to assist those in need that it was a white tailed deer that saved this woman. Yes a deer. While dragging the woman into the field the would be rapist startled a deer which jumped up and took off and so did the attacker.
Police and police apologetics alike, will tell you that the police are the ones you call when you need them. The police are the ones who will help someone who is being harmed when no one else will. This may be true, if police were allowed to provide a service people wanted and not the one size fits all protection provided by the government (and at the barrel of a gun, because we all know what happens when you don’t pay your taxes).
Legalize protection and not only will you, and you alone, decide how to protect yourself but you’ll allow others to do the same. Creating less chances for would be criminals to take advantage of a system that can’t possibly full fill its mission, protecting and serving all.
