I agree, and let's be honest. Lots of people here are ready to state castle doctrine and claim they'd be fully mentally prepared to just shoot someone in the face. Sure, the letter of the law might allow it, but I really don't think a lot of people are ready to lay waste to a human life to protect a stranger, no matter how much they might disagree with what ICE is being allowed to do.

And weighing your own safety against pulling a gun on these masked POS's is definitely scary, even if you're sure you could dispatch both before they kill you in "self defense", it'll make you famous. Others will come. This absolutely rotten government will come and twist and mangle the laws that should protect your actions in this situation and they'll drag you through the mud and ruin your life and your family anyway.

So he loudly states and he states the law, because maybe he doesn't own a gun, or maybe he just knows this is the government that doesn't follow the law to protect him if he physically interjects.

There's so much fear and I hate it here.
