If you think force must be involved in removing someone from office that's on you. It's certainly not implied by the headline. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will have to sell those assets for your lawyer's fees before the "if you cannot afford...." becomes part of the equation.

Just a quick suggestion - If you are actually planning to kill someone if X happens, and are planning to pretend that you felt your life was in danger to justify it, advertising that fact on the Internet is probably not the best idea.

You don't honestly believe I would murder someone do you? My plan is to scare the hell out of them. Double barrel shotguns can have that effect.

You would "fear for your life" and then reluctantly "defend yourself" as you describe above. You know, so you can be judged by twelve rather than carried by six. Because only a good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun. Etc etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timski 80 #82 June 2, 2020 LOOK LOOK, here lies the solution to our problems, simply obey the law and avoid the sticky outcomes by racist bully cops who grew up with daddy issues... OK, to be fair, we all know this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more than just doing the right thing (even when nobody is looking). Until we breed out "the hate", we will be plagued with unrest and violence. HATE lingers, hate grows, hate begets hate. When the "haters" witness the violent protest conducted by the same people they hate on, what does that bring? Yup, more hate... Our ugly history isn't going away. Hate/racism are so strongly rooted in some locations, you really must wonder, how long or what will it take to break the cycle...??? Peer pressure works great, but from what I've witnessed, YOU put yourself in direct harm by calling out a complete stranger, and then they shoot you... So, how do WE THE PEOPLE squash this??? If your answer has anything to do with current politicians, keep thinking. It's going to take the right people with the right influence to help get the ball rolling. And get the RIGHT people in office... Time isn't ever on our side! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not every people settled the land by forcibly taking it from the natives. Why is your stuff more important that that other guy's life? Freedom, yeah, that's a good point. Threat, likewise. But stuff? Nope. Do you cut away your canopy even if you might be able to save it, and risk having it go into a subdivision, never to be seen again?

Considering there are large groups who are using violence to advance their lot in life by shedding light on systemic and ongoing racism. Those people are generally being told to settle down and not use violence. The stance appears to be, I get to kill you for what I have, you don't get to be violent.
