[Closed] Normalising violence? Confidence in law enforcement?

Off the back of the violence against women thread, it was getting derailed and yet I think it’s a really important/interesting subject. @stevextc posited: As I said the solution is simple, we need to renormalize violence if the majority of men wish to do anything against harassment of women by strangers or other anti-social behaviour. Most of us are not going to get involved as potentially saying something carries much higher sentencing than wolf whistling or selling drugs outside the school. (or our local complaint on the schools football ground pavilion) Both these are to me the same, I’m not getting a criminal record for saying “excuse me that was inappropriate, I think you should apologise” or “could you sell your drugs elsewhere”. There was also a link to the video of a group of young boys/teens riding around a supermarket in their BMXs. Are we becoming a nation of wimps who are scared of righting wrongs by our not delivering what used used be known as ‘street justice’? If someone jumped a queue would you be scared to pull them aside because they’d (successfully) get you charged with assault? What if they were not just jumping a queue but were manualling their BMX through the checkout in a dangerous fashion? What would you do/have you done?

who has properly diagnosable anger management issues that need to be worked through

That's just as hilarious...
"Anger Management Issues" is simply a term created to fund a business.
