before stepping out, so I assume that helps a little.

I think people often assume "the police can take care of death threats etc" but the police are only equipped to handle criminals at the extreme margins.

It's amazing to me how this kind of behavior has cropped up so quickly. Even if it's not true in this circumstance it's clearly much more common and accepted within some circles. I feel like this would be considered abhorrent just 20 years ago and today it barely captures attention.
