No I agree the way to fix this in the end is societally, but yeah the way to protect yourself immediately is force, so either become One Punch Man or get strapped.

But as to the other stuff, well maybe you earnestly meant "sorry for your stuff" but it seemed (and often is used by others as in "it's just stuff" to minimize home invasion victims' experiences) as if it was sarcastic. If that's not the case, my apologies. If that is the case you have no clue what this person went through, like for many others it may have been more than just "stuff."
