      i think the technicality here is that it would be akin to negligent manslaughter at best. Since self defense wouldn’t really apply.

      On reflection, the real question is whether you’re home at the time, since that makes it the castle doctrine instead of “defense of property.” At which point you’re free to go full Home Alone a la Last Crusade. The penitent doorkicker kneels! bzzZZZzzzt

          What’d the five fingers say to the face? SHLAP!

          What’d Boris’s face say to those five fingers? Achoo.

        A famous legal case defining what is and isn’t allowed for defense of property, specifically about lethal booby traps to stop trespassing. It basically says that you can’t use lethal force to defend property using booby traps as they are indiscriminate and therefore cannot determine if certain criteria (i.e. reasonable fear for your life) are met.

          … because Katko used a mousetrap and a shotgun shell to blow a dude’s leg off. Over some antique jars.

          It’s one of those cases where the jury immediately knows a line has been crossed and just needs to hash out how far back.

          Thanks for the context, I thought the “Katko test” might be a funni/memey reference. TIL! Happy Cake Day!

    aside from the fact that this would probably completely total your home, and kill your neighbors dog through an act of god.

    This is a great idea.

        No they love the cops when the cops are policing them and keeping them in line. The thin blue line between US and THEM.

        When its their property and their rights, the governent must be stopped from tyrany.

          Once again, you’re confusing two groups of people with very little overlap.

          The person who would make Boris is a libertarian not a conservative. Americans have a wildly warped view on politics.

      The people who make these memes aren’t the same people who like the cops. There are some very confused people who think ‘no step on snek’ and prostrating themselves before the ones who’d be doing the stepping makes some kind of sense, but they’re also the same people who think climate change isn’t real and vaccines kill people. Their opinion is irrelevant.

      Fuck the police

      They only love the thin blue line when it’s kneeling on a black guy’s neck.

      Plenty of Christian domestic terrorists want to kill cops who want to take their guns away. Weaver, Koresh, McVeigh, Bundy, etc.

        I want it on record, stenographers please take this down…I am anti-Ted Bundy. I don’t care what charming, yet down to earth actor played him in the biopic. Glorifying a serial killer through entertainment is wrong. I haven’t seen it, I do not intend to do so, now or ever, thank you, good night.

            I deny it, categorically. The allegations that I played golf with a pro-Bundy lobbyist are absolutely false and slanderous. I had no idea anyone else was on the course on the time, as I was focused on the nation’s business and correcting my slice.
