A new memo from the Trump administration reveals something shocking: ICE agents have been told they can enter homes without a warrant to arrest migrants, based on little more than suspicion. The Ma…
Doesn’t the US incorporate castle doctrine principles - an affirmative defense to criminal homicide occurring within a home? Combine that with lax to nonexistent gun control and a high gun ownership rate, and you’re just asking for trouble.
They WANT trouble, in as many ways as possible. That will allow him to justify imposing Martial Law, and suspend elections.
He has a razor thin majority in Congress, with the 2016 midtetm election ahead (which is shaping up to be a bloodbath), and he can’t afford to lose either chamber, which would give Dems control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers.
He wants violence, and he will be instigating it in as many ways as possible.
I’ve resisted, all this time, getting a gun because I have a history of depression and I didn’t want one in the house
however, given I have the blessing of castle doctrine in my state I’m really starting to think getting one might be the smarter decision. at least I might get to go out on my own terms.
I’m in the middle of a bout of heavy depression right now, I just want to live long enough to outlive my close family, namely my parents. They shouldn’t have to sit through my funeral.
Being gay and neurodivergent, though, I don’t think I have that long in this country. And I have no method to escape.
Hey. One of my best friends was gay and had depression. He came from a very religious family and struggled with both of these things his entire life. Then he got sick and didn’t seek treatment for a medical issue that was curable but fatal if untreated. He died. I think he chose not to seek treatment because it was an out that he didn’t have to affirmatively choose.
The world is a worse place without him. It’s been 3 years and I still think about him almost every day. Please find a better solution.
I hope you manage to survive this, i really do, but if you finally decide you cant handle it any longer, use it to strike back decisively in a focused way that protects the innocent and hurts the Nazis.
I’m so sorry that i have to write that. I am also coming to grips that at my age, i am realizing that my story may have a twist ending that i never suspected. If anything happens to my son (also part of vulnerable communities), i will become a very dangerous person.
sorry but if the choice is between “going quietly with the men from the government” for being an undesirable, and just ending it there and then, I’m choosing the gun. I’ve suffered enough where I am.
It’s almost as if the War on Drugs was being used as a pretense to up state power for years, and now we have police-military kitted out and trained (Cop City) to slaughter protesters in the street.
Interesting. I’m not an expert on the matter by any means, as I’m not even American, but from what I’ve read, ICE agents often dress in plain civilian clothes - sometimes with no identification markers at all - and can now enter your home without a warrant based merely on “suspicion”. Taking all of this into account, it seems like you would have reasonable belief that you’re in danger and should defend yourself.

If you stand your ground and they kill your sleeping girlfriend, her death is your fault.
Sounds like a judge who also needs to be shot
That’s if they let you live long enough to make it to trial, nevermind afterward. 😶

You have to weigh the likelihood of a warrantless raid versus another bout of heavy depression.

Don’t kill yourself that’s just giving them what they want. Existence is resistance.

Who said anything about going quietly. Rage, rage.
Suicide ain’t it, neighbor. Sincerely. Not even suicide by cop.
If you need to talk, I’m here. Feel free to DM or reply here, I’m around. 🤘🏼
It varies state by state, and sometimes by municipality.
“According to the memo, agents can break into a home if getting a warrant is “impracticable,” and they don’t need a judge’s approval.”
Here in Oregon:
https://oregon.public.law/statutes/ors_161.219
"a person is not justified in using deadly physical force upon another person unless the person reasonably believes that the other person is:
(1) Committing or attempting to commit a felony involving the use or threatened imminent use of physical force against a person; or
(2) Committing or attempting to commit a burglary in a dwelling; or
(3) Using or about to use unlawful deadly physical force against a person. [1971 c.743 §23]"

Yup. If it’s my house, it falls under #2, my neighbors house would fall under #1.
We’d all wish that. But, unfortunately, that’s not the case with US citizens. After all, they could get rid of him in some way or another (see JFK).
Where? Down at the Quik-E Mart again?
