Not when there is no imminent threat, and there is no such thing as "defending" yourself before any "offense" is attempted. See: https://lemmy.world/comment/13417359
Stand your ground laws disagree. If one party views it as a threat of bodily harm they can definitely defend themselves by preemptively killing someone.
This was such a weird time-line switch. Trump president again and progressives on Lemmy sound like r/conservative with law interpretation. So there's no better response, no room for the very real needed evaluation of each situation, just a blanket "shoot em" now. Idk how people are so subjective to propaganda and influence when we have such a hard grasp on reality.
A bunch of women shooting men for threatening to rape them would definitely get the stand your ground laws changed for the better. Sounds like a progressive win to me.
Reality is a strange bedfellow.
Just an OG fantasy accelerationist eh? I can dig it, but I think they would dismiss it as not being fit for the definition. Judges can and are allowed to be fickle like that.
It would be wonderful to set the precedent that men can legally defend themselves but woman can't. Let's hope for fickle justices who can't help themselves.
