These actors have made a ton of blockbuster films that basically seek revenge or demand a reckoning for wrongdoing when the powers that be (aka police, military, government) don’t appear to be doing the job adequately.

There’s a whole group of people who have been watching these blockbuster movies their whole lives and hoping for their chance to be heroes (hero/vigilante  or   toe-May-toe/ toe-mah-toe). These people own lots of guns. They practice shooting them often. For fun. They have cameras all over their property. They have dogs and security systems. And they can’t wait for you to roll up and give it a go. Never forget that the police protect you from them just as much as them from you. 

No one wants to know how I’d handle it.
