The right of human beings to self defense (and hence of just war) is laid out by Hugo Grotius in "The Law of War and Peace."
His work is a RED PILL because it is easy to digest. His logic is compelling, his language and explanations follow naturally from first principles of nature.
Men formed in societies for their mutual defense, so that each man would not have to constantly defend himself from numerous brigands. When society fails in that duty of mutual defense, the people are compelled to resume their natural rights of self-defense.
Self defense when society has abrogated its primary duty and reason for its existence, is not vigilantism, it is exercising the inherent human right of self defense of necessity.
This book is on the level of philosophy. HOW one and all are to protect themselves again without being "terrorists" is subject to debate.
GOOD NEWS that the charges against this man were dropped, but he should never have been charged and put through "the process that is the punishment."
He should be given a medal.
I nominate him for the Grotius award, for understanding his natural rights, as Grotius expressed, without having read Grotius!
