Crime and cronyism, why the apathy?

Our country has degenerated from "IF I ever get affected by crime" to "When I get affected by crime, the question is how violent will it be"

A while ago I stared into the barrel of a gun for the second time in my life, and could see the intent of the guy holding it...."fight me and I pull the trigger"

So I decided that he can take what he wants, and whatever is not insured I will have to replace out of my own pocket.  I originally insured my bicycle in case I crash in a race, my thoughts never covered the possibility that someone would want it enough to take it from me at the business end of a gun.  But luckily it was insured, and I was able to replace at least some of what was taken from me.
