This is the moment a quick-thinking female Russian tourist took down a phone-snatcher in Argentina. Video posted by journalist Gonzalo Benitez shows the incident on November 9 when two thieves snuck up on the 33-year-old woman while she was on a bike waiting at a junction in the capital Buenos Aires. As they grab her device, she manages to wrestle one of them off the bike and hold him until Good Samaritans rush to her aid and help restrain him until the police arrive. Officers were also able to trace the offender who fled on the bike and discovered 10 cell phones at the property where he was arrested.

Please elaborate on how you would deal with professional violent criminals in an anarchist manner.

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Sure. You try to head off the behavior before it gets there by ensuring basic needs are met for all and through social tools like shunning and group dynamics.

Your scenario springs up whole clothe without the above, so I would offer the following for it : Jail, exile, death. The order depends on the people involved in the society they created.

Being an anarchist doesn't mean you lack the current tools we use, it means you dont have to use them, or at least you dont have to reach for them first.

You didn't answer who exactly would jail a guy with a gun who's willing to use it and knows how to do it.

Id be glad to. Just tell me the name of everyone in the society, their general roles in different social situations, their agreed on laws and rules, and their specific stance on violence and how they want to respond to it.

Once you do, I can answer your very specific questions about a hypothetical community that doesnt currently exist and hasent been defined by any of the people in it.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So you don't have law enforcement answers in anarchist societies that aren't ‘have cops’. Dunno why you had to lie about it.

Its your hypothectical man. I've told you the community will need to come to a consensus on how they handle violence. Thats the only answer I can give if you wont give me the details above.
