Fear is a real thing. It can create dangerous behaviors in people. I think any American feeling fear or anxiety has the right to approach religious leaders to bring about an understanding within a community.
That is the beauty of a local political and economic environment. The population is known and there can be an understanding about hate and violence. I don't believe Americans conduct themselves in networking in a community enough.
An example of community organization is found in the minority communities in the USA. Frequently, leaders in the minority communities have their finger on the pulse of the people.
We hear about town hall meetings during years of elections, but, town halls can be an organizing event for a community as well. There are also community organizations that encourage involvement such as homeowners associations. They meet regularly and discuss the community. Homeowners associations set up rules for their community and they are legal requirements.
Democracy is a beautiful thing. Democracy is under attack. The freedoms people have in a democracy allows for an element of danger. People have to overcome that in their communities. When people sign leases for apartments there are community rules. Those rules allow for a more peaceful co-existence.
Leaders and religious leaders should be asked to attend meetings to talk about real fears of violence in a community or a building for that matter. That process of being aware of the activities within a community is called mitigation. I think Americans are smart enough to find ways of EFFECTIVELY dealing with fears; by treating fears as a real and palpable commodity.
When a community understands its environment, of course, police and law enforcement can be asked to interfere with reliable fears and what they are based in. Since, September 11, 2001 there has been this idea of 'free floating' fears. Who can we trust? Who will become violent? How can a person protect themselves from the unseen and unknown? I sincerely believe if a community cares about each other and has a central organization to mitigate these fears and ask the infrastructure to intervene in real fears, there can be more and better security of a person's day and their work and home environments.
Americans are very resourceful. They can do anything if they put their minds to it. Often we take our day for granted and don't recognize small ways of improving our quality of life. Fear interferes with quality of life. Such concerns are real in the American courts as well, too. Having a clear understanding of fear and what is causing such concerns in a community can also minimize dangers to freedom such as the over lay of authority of warrantless searches. If a community is secure and resource people know their community members well, it is far easier to dispute any government action within that community.
The American legal infrastructure values privacy, that right to privacy can be increased and vigilantism diminished if there is far less fear and more knowledge.
Have family elections for the one person a family can resource to attend meetings and carry their fears to the community meeting. An organization can be micromanaged to the point of any household. Orgnaization and mitigation is a good thing. Increase quality of life and end fear and anxiety.

They paused over their morning coffee (click here) and in the middle of Broadway shows, on subways and buses carrying people into some of the country’s most crowded areas, reckoning with how the spasm of terror that struck Paris on Friday, seemingly at random, might pierce American lives, too.

Teenagers’ cellphones blinked with warnings texted from parents to stay out of big crowds and heed feelings of foreboding. Families huddled over whether a Saturday outing still made sense. A young woman from South Carolina in a Manhattan hotel prayed over breakfast for scores of victims who, she said, were uncomfortably like her: concertgoers, diners at fashionable restaurants, soccer fans.
Khori Petinaud, an actress in the Broadway show “Aladdin,” said nerves had run high backstage on Friday night....
