    It’s 2025. America. You see these men on the street.

    If you assume they are going to rob a bank dial 911.

    If you assume they are going to lynch someone dial 911.

    If you assume they are going to kidnap someone dial 911.

    If you assume they are law enforcement then get your eyes checked. They aren’t wearing any identifying uniform, no insignia, no badges.

    If you assume they are impersonating law enforcement then dial 911 and get your eyes checked.

    • Definitely don’t call 911. That just gives them more backup. They look like terrorists in the streets. It’s actually illegal here to wear a mask over your face while demonstrating or armed so they are under stand your ground territory

          You can only use proportional force to defend yourself under stand your ground laws. If you stab someone that is only using their body parts then you go to jail. Will a jury convict? It will take a year or two to find out.

          • Not here. Self Defense was proportional response. Stand your ground means you can shoot someone who hasn’t even touched you if they break your car window

          • That’s not true in all states. In Florida, if you feel genuinely threatened, you can respond with deadly force, no matter what the other guy is threatening you with.

            • And people who write things like that and immediately got a stabbing are definitely not from the same area as you and I must be because whenI think of my self-defence weapon, it’s not my knife

      • Easy there, boss. That depends heavily on what state you’re in. And the ones that have “stand your ground” and “castle doctrine” are usually the ones where local police are openly coordinating with ICE.

        • Yeah. Understand your ground you still get arrested when you kill someone. You don’t have to deal with the police you go straight to a local Judge, Who in my county has already ruled people shooting off duty police officers moonlighting as security is perfectly legal

        If you stand your ground you still go to jail. Even if you are released you still got more inconvenienced than them.

        As a white person I’m at minimal risk from them. But in order to stand your ground for another person they must have a legal right to be where they are. And if they are, in fact, not legally here, then bad things happen to you.

          If you don’t, it’s possible you’re going to a concentration camp. Think I rather get tried by a jury of my peers.

        • I might still go to jail, but I have taken all of them out so they will never be another problem.

          The ones here don’t wear body armour because that would make them stick out more
