Human rights lawyer to Trump: Shooting people for stealing things is murder

[pyetro]

This should be an interesting debate. Under the law, is the national guard allowed to shoot people who are looting target? President Trump that looters will be shot.

Looters should be shot on sight along with progressive filth.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Yeah, no. When sentiment like the image below exists, shooting is justified. When people destroy your property and your livelihood, shooting is justified. People have a right to defend their property.

I'm not asking what should be done. I'm asking what's legal.

In my OP I asked my respondents to cite the law in question.

What a dumbass....when the store owner shot and killed the looter who engaged in 'breaking and entering' to then loot his store, the man was defending his life and his property from criminals....if you are talking about Natl Guard / Reserve Troops ONLY.... I recommend people read the following...

https://fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/R42659.pdf

"The Posse Comitatus Act outlaws the willful use of any part of the Army or Air Force to execute the law unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or an act of Congress. History supplies the grist for an argument that the Constitution prohibits military involvement in civilian affairs subject to only limited alterations by Congress or the President, but the courts do not appear to have ever accepted the argument unless violation of more explicit constitutional command could also be shown. The express statutory exceptions include the legislation that allows the President to use military force to suppress insurrection or to enforce federal authority, 10 U.S.C. Sections 251-255, and laws that permit the Department of Defense to provide federal, state and local police with information, equipment, and personnel, 10 U.S.C. §§ 271-284.


Case law indicates that "execution of the law" in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act occurs (a) when the Armed Forces perform tasks assigned to an organ of civil government, or (b) when the Armed Forces perform tasks assigned to them solely for purposes of civilian government. Questions concerning the act’s application arise most often in the context of assistance to civilian police. At least in this context, the courts have held that, absent a recognized exception, the Posse Comitatus Act is violated when (1) civilian law enforcement officials make "direct active use" of military investigators; or (2) the use of the military "pervades the activities" of the civilian officials; or (3) the military is used so as to subject "citizens to the exercise of military power which was regulatory, prescriptive, or compulsory in nature." The act is not violated when the Armed Forces conduct activities for a military purpose."

I think this country has had enough of ambulance chasing lawyers, race baiters, and Socialists.

Trump didn't advocate for shooting. What he said was pointing out that if he sends in troops they have the right to defend themselves. The same as the shit stirring lawyer has the right to defend himself.

But of course, never pass up an opportunity to cast the narrative as Orange Man Bad.

But bury the fact Trump was the President that got prison reform done. Ya know, that bullshit Democrat legislation that imprisoned millions of blacks.

 

[airplanemechanic]

No in Louisiana it's not. Each state has it's own laws.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Ok, no shooting looters. So, how are you going to protect a business that has assumed all sorts of risk from looting? What about the rights of the business owners? Business owners are always being made the villain... greedy, racist, etc. Then, when businesses pull out, the civic leaders shame them for leaving.

I am repugnant to killing but placed in the situation, I would not fire a round unless I am shooting to kill. Shouting at the perp to stop or will shoot is enough of a warning..

Minnesota law won't excuse killing to protect property

Minnesota law won't excuse killing to protect property

Experts say deadly force can't be used to fend off looters, unless they're also threatening to harm store employees.

They aren’t obeying police orders and are destroying public and private property. Disobey the national guard, throw stuff at them, see what happens.

So the solution is to just allow the wild animals to burn as many building as they want, and loot as many stores as they want.

We are a free people, do as you wish just don't cry about the consequences. For the record, I think the should be shot too.

If you shoot a looter for breaking into your house and looting rather than trying to flee the scene, you'll likely be charged with murder.
