Doing so only enables them and increases their violence toward others

Running is no longer an option as the person I help cannot run. Lawful violence needs to be an option for me, for my good and for the good of society. For a safer society we need more formidable good people out there not less IMO so bullies and punks will think twice before trying to victimize others.
well said!

Firearms, pepper spray, tactical pens, tactical flashlights, whistle, etc. Check your local laws. Train with these tools in ideal conditions and also in less-than-ideal conditions.
