That could be an effective strategy, but how much effort did you put into thinking of others before you decided that there are none?
It's an issue I've read and written about for a few years. How much concerted thought? Not sure, probably not enough. Constructing human institutions in which the cost for violent action increases sharply in all circumstances is non-trivial.
