I was alluding to a higher jurisdictional authority which could help in this particular instance.
Ahhh, okay! Got it. Well, in this case, we might not be able to go to the authorities, given that the authorities are kinda the problem. There's really only two things you can do when that's the case: give up, or organize within your community to build resilience. I mean, for all the jokes about violence, Trump and Elon are symptoms as well as causes. If someone redacted them, we'd still be stuck in the same causes and conditions that led us here, so it's not a fix. The best cure for what we have is building resilience as much as we can where we can.
