Because if I shoot the mugger instead, I get arrested by the same police I've already been forced to paid for. Why is this so hard to understand?

[Edit: incidentally, I have called the cops three times in my life. The first two times I was told "it's not my problem". The third time they just hadn't showed up in 15 minutes, so I got bored and left.]

Go right to shooting the guy, huh? Now I know something about how anarchists think.

How about we start with, do your own investigating, hire a private investigator, put up security cameras etc. You know, the things you'd be forced to do if Anarchy was actually in operation. Too much trouble? Exactly why we have civil societies.

I'm sorry, I can't take you seriously after this. I get mugged and then I'm supposed to start an investigation?

[JoeAltmaier]

Yes. Unless I read Anarchy wrong, there's nobody to help you. Unless you are wealthy and can pay somebody.
