It's almost as if they bad guys have the guns

They're 100% OK about right wing autocracy and white supremacy. That's been their thing the whole time.

They were always pussies.

I just want to say, Che-casio Cortez is looking really good.

A memo from the executive branch doesn't change the law anymore than a memo from me or you can act as a change in the speed limit. "Officer, I don't have to go 25mph here, I made a memo that says I can go as fast as I want, anywhere I want. I signed it and everything. Look it has my personal letterhead at the top."

SovCit "jurisprudence" says you can if the flag has a gold fringe.

"You might beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride."

This memo may not hold legal weight, but that won't mean much when ICE black-bags you and sends you to a Salvadoran gulag from which there is no escape and no contact with legal services.

That would be the case if the executive branch still cared about what the judicial branch has to say or involved the whole legislative branch in the decision making process. However, they don't and their bulldozer approach is met with very little resistance.

Or in short: Being right doesn't help you a lot if you're being right while already in their concentration camp in El Salvador.

So if you shoot someone acting on a no knock warrant, are you in the wrong? What if you live in a state with a castle law?

It helps a lot if there's only one side to the story. Because the other guys in a body bag.

I have lots of cameras. Some hidden. I have all kinds of evidence. Best things be done according to the law on my premises. The Constitutional law, not the flippant ravings done on a whim just to test the actual laws put in place for 200 years.

I feel like I would run out of ammo before they stopped coming.

Depends on the state. But if you shoot a cop, regardless of how justified, your next 10 years, should you see them, are going to suck. And the following 10 are iffy.

These are the cops who are whisking people away to El Salvador with the intent of leaving them there forever. Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose.

There's guys who successfully used self defense and didn't do significant time.

Because capitalism has beaten every last will I have.

It won't get better because we are, in fact, waiting to die.

Dear other countries: don't let the bastards win. They already have here.

Edit: I'm depressed as fuck, please don't let my doomsaying hurt you. Sorry.

No I feel you. It's a bad time to be American.
