@LeftistLawyer Minnesota has a version of the Castle Doctrine, meaning you generally have no duty to retreat from your home (or sometimes an occupied vehicle) when facing an unlawful intruder and can use reasonable, even deadly, force to defend yourself or others from imminent great bodily harm or to prevent a forcible felony, with a presumption of reasonable fear if someone unlawfully enters your dwelling.

Why aren't people protecting themselves from ICE terrorists?

Understanding Minnesota’s “Duty to Retreat” Law

Understanding Minnesota’s “Duty to Retreat” law is essential—not just to avoid legal pitfalls but also to promote safer communities. While the law requires you to retreat when possible, it also recognizes that there are times when fighting back is your only option.

Mass deportation repurposed the federal government to become the largest human trafficking operation the world will ever know.

The writing was on the wall at least to me only a month or two into the Trump administration. All the money and all the jackbooted billionaire deep state thugs lining their pockets disappearing human beings to terrorize the US population and otherwise subjugate us by stripping us of our rights.

@PattyHanson This treads too close to me giving "legal advice." Suffice to say, I personally am an #ArmedLeftist.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed human rules.

@LeftistLawyer I'm not an atty. I'm a concerned citizen watching my neighbors in a different state suffer terrorism, bodily harm & death at the hands of a group that seems to have been given free rein against them.

I'd like to think if someone, even a group of someones, was breaking into my house, I'd do whatever necessary to keep them out. Including using deadly force.

ICE is acting illegally. We need to treat them like any other criminal offender. They would not take me/my child w/o a fight

I almost think that this what some of the brighter folks (Miller, Vance?) in the #Fascist #TrumpRegime are hoping for.

Seems like its only a matter of time until we see these #idiots kick in the wrong door - and a well-armed occupant takes out a few of them. t\The resulting carnage would be all they need to invoke the #InsurrectionAct.

Full scale military deployment of US troops to "quell the violent uprising".

AKA - Full on #Fascist #Totalitarianism

@oldguycrusty @PattyHanson It is. But as many are reporting, you don't back down to bullies. If you do, it only emboldens them to take more.
