Italian police in Naples told our personnel that acceptable level of force to defend property was open handed slap, no more, and that use of a fist would result in an arrest.
Quote:
Anyway, they were commenting on how, first, defensive guns were registered; then confiscated; then, hunting was demonized; then knives; and now, should one even use fists to deter an intruder in one's home, one will be arrested. One must retreat, retreat, retreat, and call for the bobbies.
My response:

"I recognize no obligations toward men except one: to respect their freedom and to take no part in a slave society. To my country, I wish to give the... years which I will spend in jail if my country exists no longer. I will spend them in memory and in gratitude for what my country has been. It will be my act of loyalty, my refusal to live or work in what has taken its place."
