Jeopardize and Violate are not synonyms, yet you use the two words as though they are interchangeable, when it suits you that is...It's quite interesting that someone who keeps redefining terms until all meaning is lost...
According to you, jeopardizing the rights of others is a violation of rights... Except when you think it's not.. And you explain this inconsistent application of the definitions by claiming that it's all some big "gray" area.
If the definitions are losing meaning somewhere, it's in your "gray" area.
All individuals have the same rights.
Then try using force against someone who is not using force against you and see what happens. You will not be able to claim self defense under such circumstances and that is the only right you have that allows you to use force against others.
I have no problem with someone being confronted when "jeopardizing" your rights, however, you cannot use force against them, or deprive them of their liberties, until they have initiated the use force against you. So pull over the public street racer and give him a warning, let him know his actions are putting others at risk and he is thereby putting himself at risk of losing his liberties but do not take liberty away from, or use force agaisnt, people who have not used force against anyone.
