Because SUBJECTS hate FREE MEN.

Subjects are powerless bitches, unless they proclaim their love for their masters.

Thats why self defense in the UK is more heavily punished than committing crimes.

Criminality has far more in common with how the royals operate.
Self defense is a slap in the face of the royals authority, as if you had any independent validity outside of their commands.

That must be punished without mercy.
