People who violate the homes of others often suffer immediate consequences for their actions. These are often some nasty individuals and I don’t lose sleep over their choices.
My concern is that a blanket application of a self defence law can be misinterpreted lead to less than lawful application.

Not completely different but more of a matter of location. VCastle Doctrine applies to one’s home and Stand Your ground applies to places outside of your home where you believe that there is a real threat. Neither have a duty to withdraw caveat.

Listening to this woman cry out “I’m a U.S. citizen” as she is dragged and shoved into an unmarked SUV brings to mind the lyrics of the Lee Greenwood song. The iconic song of pride and freedom. But it’s just a song; kidnapping in broad daylight is the norm and freedom is decided by masked goons.

I’d wager that more than 0.02% of the university’s budget is spent on coffee and lunch trays for the exec team and the board. What a loss for day care.
The 75% tuition increase in the Masters in Nursing suggests that they really don’t want to offer the program.

It’s disconcerting and no doubt intentional, that this administration discusses the murdered victims as if they were enemy combatants. They were not. They were civilians of countries other than the USA.
Regardless of what they were doing or alleged to be doing, they were civilians.

Premier Smith is selling queue jumping for those that can pay, then refunds the diagnostic exam fee if an intervention is required,(I’d love to see those parameters).
Do queue jumpers go to the head of the line for the publicly funded surgery?
Does AB refund the higher private fee or the AHS fee?
