I read a book recently in which a race of aliens came to visit planet earth and found our violent societies to be of some concern. So they activated some kind of peace technology all over the world.
A man intent on beating his wife found himself stopped in his tracks, unable to approach her.
A women turning to deride her child found herself temporarily without speech.
A escaping robber pulled his gun on the police following him, but was unable to move his trigger finger.
A despairing teenaged girl, planning suicide, was unable to bring the pills to her mouth.
Hey, aliens! If you're listening, we could use a little intervention down here right about now!
