Every apolitical active shooting and politically motivated terror attack stopped by spectators or on-site security underscores one nonpartisan, nonsectarian tactical fact: we have to 'create our own safety'. Except for the fortunate few, our names on a 911 dispatcher's screen won't send in everybody-including 'the Ghostbusters'-to the rescue. The 'first defender' role belongs to us.

When the 'werewolf', as I describe sudden violence, crosses your path, neither politicians nor police officers will beam down 'Star Trek'-style to rescue you

We recently saw this tactical fact successfully illustrated in one week where a college ROTC student stabbed a terrorist to death and synagogue security shot and killed another terrorist who drove into their sanctuary intent on running over people, inflicting a mass shooting and committing arson.

Last year's spate of mass shootings at urban bars and historically Black college and university (HBCU) homecomings further highlight this fact. The Black community has been targeted by daily apolitical active shooters for decades. This is in addition to racist terrorism following us for centuries. I arrived at 'safety creation' amid internal annihilation of safety and stability which birthed my theory. It's with this experience that I approach Millennial and 'Gen Z' crime as well as politically and religiously motivated terrorism. I'm not a sheltered suburbanite. I know what it feels like to have gun battles erupt nearby. Also very practiced with displacing malcontents who resent pro-safety stances.

This is why I stress doing volunteer safety escorts and serving as volunteer security for worthy people who can't afford paid protection but nonetheless richly deserve protecting. I'm also an advocate for the protection industry better known as private security. Mobilized citizens and private professionals constitute society's largest, most accessible safety resource. Collectively, they represent 'first defenders' I referenced above.

Take it from a Brother who has 'created safety' in 'red' Republican and 'blue' Democratic localities. When the 'werewolf', as I describe sudden violence, crosses your path, neither politicians nor police officers will beam down 'Star Trek'-style to rescue you. Maybe you'll get lucky.wmf get a fast response that stops the aggressor. Maybe not. Feel like rolling hose dice?

The duty to flee or fight the 'werewolf' of sudden violence is yours and yours alone. Your favorite progressive politburo or country club conservative influencer won't be beside you. 'You' will be beside yourself should the 'werewolf' of sudden violence come calling.

Better to have a plan in mind should that happen.
