Didn't you say this just a few hours earlier?
"""I agree under 2nd Amendment authority. All others have to be exhausted, though, before that can apply. So, first try your Congress people about passing laws limiting it. See if the LEO's will do anything about the abuse. Try the courts. If they all ignore the corrupt behavior, you're left with no choice but using violence to deter the aggressor. Just make it untraceable with an alibi."""

This Internet mob BS is (a) avoiding the best route (police/court) for people involved to resolve the alleged crime and (b) wasting too much time that can be spent on privacy or activism work. I recall far as Hoover days the regimes Tor fights sought to create exactly these sorts of situations to weaken citizens. Best to not help them.
