That only works if the guard accepts his orders. Legally, they have no choice. But in practical terms, large groups of heavy armed men get to make their own decisions.
Without anything but the quoted line, I would say she's an American citizen, born in America, to the parents of immigrants.
In the USA, even before Trump, people were often identified by their ethnicity, or somethings just skin color, because with a few exceptions, we don't have families that have been here for hundreds and hundreds of years, like most other countries. Go to Europe, Africa, Asia, you can find people who's family has lived there since beyond the ken of mortal man.
In South America and Australia, I believe, this is less true, but more than here in the US.
In Antarctica, I'm not aware that the penguin flocks move around much.
Americans submit have no roots the way others often do. And I'm speaking as someone who can trace one side of my family back 15 generations to before the state we live in was a state.
Again, this is not immediate self-defence, this is something else entirely: this type of situation demands systemic change.
I'm aware it's not immediate self defence, that's kind of the point of the question. How many people die while you work on that change? Why are ok killing to defend yourself now, but not to defend a hundred people tomorrow?
You remove them from authority then send them on their merry way to live out their standards alone, far from the rest of us.
And you hope they don't come back with more people and a plan for revenge. Napoleon was sent off on his merry way. His return cost over 50,000 lives.
Friggin’ children know this already, if someone doesn’t play nice, you stop playing with them.
And what if they won't let you stop playing with then? Children know bullies, too, and know that you can't just ignore them.
Why the hell are we still debating the ““virtues”” of murder?!
Because you are unwilling to admit that some people need killing. Not very many, in my opinion. There are usually better options. But killing someone is the only way to be 100% sure that they stop hurting people.
So, after all this trouble, we are back where we started?
Again, we would have been far better off if Trump had done nothing at all.
