If someone shows up in an unmarked car with no badge and tries to abduct you, why can't you just shoot them?
You can! As much as you can shoot anyone. You're just likely to be severely outgunned and also you'll have to stand trial over it. No idea the odds of winning that case, but the govt largely isn't going after people with money to hire lawyers. Probably get a defense fund donated bigger than Mangione.
Wait, what am I thinking? They will just deport you rather than have a trial and risk a judge declaring their tactics illegal and granting a self-defense claim to resisters.
We had a fellow who shot at the unmarked unidentified police roaming around Minneapolis during the civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd. He was at a gas station if I remember and they beat the shit out of him. It took a while but he won the case and some money.
I think that guy actually shot back when they were driving around firing pepper balls at random people.
I thought it was “rubber” bullets they were firing at people out past curfew. Looks no different than an AR, sounds no different than an AR, how is one to know the difference in the split second when they feel their life is on the line? Answer is: they can’t, if you feel like your life or person is in danger, the sword is the only way.
You're not likely to stand trial over it
In the videos I've seen there are usually at least 5 ice guys with body armor and at least a couple have rifles. Good luck against that with your little pew-pew.
those fat ICE idiots clearly have no training and shooting well takes a lot of practice.
Isn't that "stand your ground"? Or does that only work on black or brown people?
