    Well, the Derossett case in 2019 confirmed that you can shoot plainclothes police who don’t identify themselves if they’re kidnapping someone from your home. Presumably that would extend to yourself too. Outside your property, I dunno. But as a bystander, there is tons of legal precedent that you can kill someone in the act of committing an armed robbery or some other forcible felony even if it’s not directed at you, and that killing is not a crime. Murder, rape, and kidnapping also fall into this forcible felony category.

    My best guess is a lower court would correctly conclude with a not guilty verdict, and it would keep getting appealed with a fast track to reaching the Supreme Court because ICE are a gang of losers. And then it depends on the can of worms that the Supreme Court is willing to open to appease their daddy.

    I’d like to see how putting a bullet in masked kidnappers who are not in police uniform and refuse to show badge numbers holds up or not in court. Like how is anyone going to know the difference? It’s just self defense. Genuinely curious - is there precedent for that?

    Even during the George Floyd stuff, the newsworthy events were just happening in a few blocks of downtown around the courthouse. Someone living in Portland not terminally glued to the news would have had little idea anything unusual was going on.







  • The stinkyness is because of poor planning hundreds of years ago that generally didn’t include alleyways because the planners wanted to maximize real estate value instead of practical livability. So the bins go on the street, not tucked away. Also forces garbage trucks to sit in streets making traffic worse.
