>One dude in his home with a gun or two versus a 50 billion dollar ICE force that has complete immunity and a massive media and political empire ready to spin any bad incident into an us-versus-them narrative..... How does legal immunity or a media empire affect a dead man? >Oh, and if anything really gets out of hand, that political empire also has nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are not very useful in a civil conflict... Or pretty much any conflict | ||

>How does legal immunity or a media empire affect a dead man? If I have complete legal immunity from ANY of my actions, including killing someone, and there's a massive multi-trillion dollar media empire dedicated to creating regime-friendly narratives and supporting the leaders on "my side" at all costs, I can harass, defame, defraud, and kill you without hesitation whenever, wherever, and however I see fit, and I'll get no blowback. I'll get fans and supporters. Haven't we learned anything from history? | ||
