But we are perceiving that the bad boy is also harming us, either immediately or in the near future.

We may be right, we may be wrong.

But here's an example. Your neighbor has just obtained a machine gun and is shooting off rounds in his back yard every evening, just spraying the bullets around willy-nilly, having a blast. The bullets come within a few feet of your house. None have hit it yet, and none have hit your children yet, but several have hit your tree house, one clipped a branch off the tree next to your house, and you are in legitimate fear. The police won't step in until he actually hits somebody. The neighbors don't want you taking action because they fear he will set off a grenade if his machine gun is taken away.

So, do you just do nothing but wait for him to kill you, your wife, or one of your children
