Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's a proactive vs reactive problem. Arresting someone for maybe possibly thinking about doing something doesn't hold up in court. But having an action happen means harm was done which is not good of course.
Red flag laws being proposed are far from ideal and are seen as a major slippery slope of precedence for privacy and government intervention (think of how an administration could abuse it because odds are one will at some point)
You are correct in what you are saying but I think you missed what I was trying to get at
