There were reports of planned riots in rural Polk County. Knowing they didn't have the resources to cover wide spread area, the sheriff instructed citizens to shoot anyone who broke into their home. I support this. Telling citizens you can't help them, and they must protect themselves is very different than threatening that the state itself will kill you.

Careful. That’s how Breonnna Taylor ended up dead.

You can shoot a home intruder during and outside of riot conditions. I'm not sure why he posted this.

I think it's clearly a message to people watching the looting in the cities thinking they can get away with that in a rural area. He says it plain and simple, rural people have guns and they will kill you.

Laws vary depending on the state.

So that people do not waste precious time in a dangerous situation trying to call and/or rely on law enforcement help. I saw this tweet making rounds last night [0].

Complete nonsense - if you believe for one second that those “reports” were legitimate or that this was a genuine public safety measure you’re an absolute rube and a mark. This was just an elected official pandering to his electoral base of suburban fascists by validating their heroic-murder fantasies.

Citizens who kill looters are heroes. That part is not a fantasy.

>>Consul+Se4
No, people who murder people over property are murderers
