They have been more than happy to provide us with their solutions because a dependent, defenseless people is an enslaved people. Crime is the number one fear in America today. It s growth and hype is being consistently trumped up by the news media in an effective effort to gratify the fears of the general population. The anarchist and other revolutionary arguments towards the abolition of police and prison has only served to confirm the possibility of the majority of Americans worst nightmares because the police and prison systems have been presented as their only alternative to crime. Personal protection and tactical self defense training as viable alternatives to crime should be taught within the community on all levels.

People need to understand the concepts of armed and unarmed defense, rape prevention, securing a home, as well as dealing with the legal system. People need to know when to use the appropriate level of force, the characteristics of a stress situation, dealing with the aftermath and so on. A moral and social standard should be set in which the hows and whens of self defense are understood throughout the community. The act itself, of teaching self defense within the community should be looked at as a revolutionary means of empowerment. Through self defense, people will be given their own means of self determination as well as a way to stand up and fight back.
