Don't you think resistance is pretty damn futile in this case? "Liberty" has become an empty slogan printed on our empty money, and 99% of the population simply couldn't care less. Tell them their freedoms must be compromised "For their Protection" or "For the Children", throw in a few meaningless pop-culture distractions, and they all line up to bleat like good little sheep. It never fails. <b>A successful rebellion of the tiny fringe minority, led by the likes of John Galt or 'V'??? Only in works of fiction.</b> The best you can hope to do is to partially protect yourself and those you most care about... and even pulling <i>that</i> off is a crap-shoot.
So killing justifies rioting? Self-defense is one thing, but, murdering those who "come to my neighborhood"? Gimme a break. Just another lawless conservative with murder in his heart. I'd take a rioter over a murderer anyday.
No shit head. THEIR rioting justifies the killing. As in the self defense that YOU said you're OK with.
If they just riot in your neighborhood and do not threaten you directly, and you killed them anyway, then you'd be a murderer, you know.
Depends on the circumstances, if it's a act of preemptive self-defense then yes. "A homicide may be considered justified if it is done to prevent a very serious crime, such as rape, armed robbery, or murder. The assailant's intent to commit a serious crime must be clear at the time. "
