Ice Raids In Stand Your Ground States
Forums:
In states that have stand your ground laws, wouldn't people getting rounded up by unidentified people in masks with no warrant be able to invoke stand your ground and be absolved of wrongdoing if they protected themselves by any means?

I knew a guy who got hazed by some fellow marines, thought he was actually being kidnapped, and stabbed two of them.
Actually worked out ok for him

Your question assumes the person standing their ground would get to have their day in court here in the US. That's not been the trend lately.

hi mike, you are right. I'm still thinking due process and following the law still work.
In a small situation the only witnesses left alive would be the ice agents.
Bigger crowds and videos are better but that's still assuming due process.

The people being rounded up
The people being rounded up are the most vulnerable and terrified that we have right now in terms of knowing that at any point they might just be rounded up like the above story says.
They have no recourse
All that said it's a cute notion you know coming from someone who will never have to know what that's like. And I'm one of those people as well which is why I believe that beyond the fact that they wouldn't even try doing it or think of it, they try to live under the radar and be as low-key as possible while doing the work that the whites don't want to do
It's coming from a place of privilege and safety to believe that such a law would work for such downtrodden people
