A controversial comment on the incident where a man was robbed and kidnapped by his workers read, “If you get money buy gun. Protect yourself. The country can’t protect you.” This statement highlights the grim reality of insecurity in many places, suggesting that personal protection through weapons is the only solution when trust in the state is low. While it’s understandable to feel frustrated with the system, this comment also risks normalizing vigilantism, which can lead to more violence and further breakdown of law and order.
Instead of resorting to self-defense through arms, the focus should be on improving law enforcement, community safety, and strengthening the legal system. Empowering citizens through proper channels can lead to a safer, more just society.
