There's a thing I don't get, as a non-USAmerican. If someone unidentified, masked, showing no warrant, no legal justification of anything, kidnaps/attempts to kidnap someone, how are (organised) citizens not in their legitima

Humanity survival, the survival of the actual ecosystem we are dependent of, collective society well-being are a historically proven blind spot. Why would this be any different?

It's a matter of proportionality. Calling on the cops because one person in an undercrowded park, toss a ball? The cops actually acting on that report? Maybe if the police had different narrative, they would have answered; from the art

Why wouldn't you want interesting experiences options, from time to time? Why wouldn't you appreciate getting out of the (often) dull (sometimes) frictionless select-order-pay-receive-use-store-forget-discard purchase experience?
