ACAB. That being said, I hope I’m not the only person who has been inserting “Proud Boys” into Dire Straits’ “Les Boys”. I’ve always thought they might be projecting just a smidge.

Words fail me. Bigots and violent malcontents show up at a peaceful event intent on mayhem and the cops … just stand there. America needs to stop handing a badge to anyone with a low IQ who can fog a mirror. Never mind that the police in America have been increasingly infiltrated by far-right ideologues, they literally weed out potential cops based on high intelligence:

“Castle Doctrine” applies in California (for better or worse), but does it apply for business owners? I mean, if someone decides to attack you in your place of business, and the cops are just going to stand around, is it a legal defense to stand one’s ground at your establishment? And I’m not even thinking as far along as using a gun.

No it does not. You cannot use lethal force to defend only property. Just people. Castle Doctrine only applies to domiciles. Living space.

She the police department. CA is pretty litigation friendly when it comes to going after public officials.
