re: #11 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

How do they ‘add to the culture of violence’? They are the result of the culture of violence.

Fact-Defensive skills or actions exist so the innocent may thrive despite predators.

I mean skills or actions so as to include locks, good doors, police departments and personal action like alarms or weapons.

IMHO It’s not the other way around. It’s the aggressors, the criminals who are to be held responsible not the prospective or actual victims.
