Overnight News: Underpolicing the underfathered: How to make everything much worse real fast.

Most of the personal safety you have known in your life owes to the fathering skills of people born before you: You and virtually everyone else continually effect the self-restraint you mastered as toddlers, and, in neglected consequence, peace and plenty abound.

What about people less masterful at self-restraint? They are constrained by their fear of the future consequences of their actions: Violent retaliation and/or arrest and incarceration.

The anti-Ant crime – and simple ugly malice – we are seeing right now is the further fruit of underpolicing the underfathered.

The police were never the cause of your safety in the first place, but now they cannot even deter bad behavior. Respond accordingly.
