In many cases they also are incompetent or incapable of taking action
since there is hardly
any "Disconnecting abusers for dummies" books on the shelf.
Not that incompetence would work too well as defence, but you would have

without waiting for
the slow and incompetent and deal with the consequences of mistakes later.
