I'm not ignoring key elements, but your basic argument is flawed. You're again saying that in this scenario, I'm giving something to someone. I'm not. I'm permitting someone to acquire property, unmolested, and protecting them during those transactions. I don't owe it to them, I don't have to do it, but I'm doing it anyway because I want to. At a certain point, I either no longer want to or have other motivation to not do so.
1) I'm not obligated.
2) We had no agreement that I'd protect you, I just did it.
3) I am aware that harm is going to befall you, in the way that harm befalls anyone who is a part of this life. That's a part of life.
(btw, I argue the point because I find it interesting to hear other people's perspectives. Job is always a fascinating topic.)
