"If anyone bothers us, I will bite them". Can't do that in our society, the biter will be locked up. Something to be said for a society that permits slightly more self protection.
But at the same time, it permits bullies to do more harm.
No good answer. We choose the answer of "police", but all the issues of police abuse (the new bullies) come up as a result.

in WWI people were cut in half horizontally by machine-gun fire it's why the modern tank was developed (there were earlier iterations that essentially were horses pulling a cannon protected by wood in-front of them) needless to say the same would happen to the zombies only from the air as well (helicopters)
well they need SOME form of artillery dont they? Zombies verses a machine gun column its obvious who would win (I'll give u a hint not the zombies) not to mention UAVs (they wont use tanks on a populated area and they will note that the zombies aren't clearing everyone out). why do i imagine Lan forcing a squad/battalion into an almost bloodless surrender
(by disarming them)
Oh, I know about raccoons. One year I trapped and relocated 39 raccoons from our animal shelter to a woodland sanctuary, and just a couple months ago I pulled an injured, mauled raccoon out from under a stump to take to a wildlife doctor friend of ours. Handling raccoons is not for the faint of heart. ;)
the solution to the Kobayashi maru is to face death and cheat, that said pooka claws and paws are much like a racoons in structure, so the damage would be comparable, pared with teeth killing is a possibility with out the need to shift form, hard to say what one could do with dark energy but something ;)
Still if Lan heard any of his kit say anything about a no win scenario (other then the Kobayashi Maru) he'd tell them so was the Kobayashi Maru supposed to be yet Kirk beat it you just have to change the parameters in your favor... I was wondering (side note more related to PH but i over post there so just saying it here cause it came to mind) does a sharpened pooka claw (without shifting it longer) penetrate enough skin to slit a human or elf's throat? I cant get over the idea of pooka assassins, that said couldn't dark energy be used to create an arsenal of demonic weapons?
I don't believe in "No win scenarios" oh wait this isn't the Kobayashi Maru... and Riley we all at some point have seen or heard of said letters... Even so isn't any original publication urging people to beat up a minority considered highly illegal should that be both the intent and the outcome, it qualifies as both a hate crime (if anyone is injured or killed) and libel regardless, thats 2 federal offenses in one, if anyone gets killed its accomplice to murder should the letter get cited on trial, the freedom of speech doesn't protect those whom (with obvious intent) abuse it to cause physical, or socioeconomic harm.
the idea that a transgender person is a danger to woman and children is often cited to justify actions taken against transgender individuals , local news paper published a letter to the editor urging people to protect there woman folk by beating up a transgender woman, I considered scanning this letter but was afraid it would be use to spreed hate not seen as reason for outrage,

the limitations of zombies noted , it will force a plot turn in the future, but you'll have to wait and see,,

ooh without a counter point thats poor form (and editing), you would think that they would remember learning to concede in high school English...

Habibah dosen't believe in no win situations ether, I question the papers choose to print the letter without a counter view point,
