Since we have implemented a membership process for anyone who wants to be part of our project, we rarely have anyone who seeks to do us harm. However, every person has the inherent right to defend themselves and loved ones against attack by whatever means necessary.

Ultimately, each situation is unique and therefore warrants unique consideration, but anyone who seeks to harm us or hinder our operation is not welcome here and may be treated as a trespasser and a threat. The response depends on what is appropriate at the time. For example, in the case of the SWAT raid, it was in no one's best interest for us to physically fight back against soldiers with guns, but the officers were notified of the extreme violation they perpetuated against of. At other times, we have had members of the community willingly engage in physical fights, and we honor the responsible adult's free will with something of a referee to mediate. Ideally people who come here manage themselves in a more functional way than lashing out in violence, and we usually maintain peace.
