Question of the Day: "What should people do when they’re having to confront a criminal by themselves?"


After the Christchurch atrocity, and the political reaction to it, crime researcher Dr. John Lott asks the obvious question:
"Police are extremely important in stopping crime, but the police can’t be there all the time. The police themselves understand that they virtually always arrive on the crime scene after the crime has occurred. And that raises a real question, what should people do when they’re having to confront a criminal by themselves?"
Anyone like to have a crack at answering that? Because your politicians haven't. And won't.

    Isn't it insane that the NZ Police have said for years, explicitly, that 'self defence' is not a justification for owning a firearm

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
