Wow USA is strange, how did calling the police after the vandalism become "losing" or "irrational".
It sounds like the thought process is: just in case someone might commit a crime, preemptive escalation is the best choice.
Wild. I'd call that thought procecess verging on sociopathic not rational. If a person's fear of crime is so crippling that they think society has broken down because they fear a crime that they dream might happen; that person was never a well adjusted member of society. I'd think anyone trying to do business with or interact with such people should be careful - they're unlikely to follow predictable or normal behaviour patterns.
I'd get that mindset might be rational for the BLM-type victims in those states /areas where law and order does seem to systematically fail some communities. But if it's based on fear rather than evidence of law and order having broken down then, it's less rational.
