    Looking for self-defense classes for my SO. Sure, it’s illegal to fight back, but I mean it mostly to minimize their attack. Also, encouraging them to do daily calisthenics. Fortunately they’ve always been athletic so it’s not a huge encouragement.

    We’re not their target yet, but I’ve no doubt that soon everyone will be.

      It’s not illegal to fight back, this is literally what the second amendment is for.

            If you’re EXTREMELY lucky, I would say. In this climate, other ice or law enforcement are just going to kill you. Or at the very least throw you in prison, into a system where you also might just disappear. Without seeing a lawyer or your family, to another country, where you may not be a citizen or have ever lived. And possibly into their foreign prison system directly, into an evil vilainesque torture prison designed for nobody to ever leave

            Assuming you survive the hellfire of bullets that will rain down on you if you try, that is.
