I lived and worked in China for a year (Shenzhen). There was a palpable sense of brainwashing and/or an overpowering air of unhealthy patriotism there. Which made it stranger for me as I had Chinese friends and coworkers that seemed like decent normal people, we went to bars and drank and joked together. But whenever the topic of China as a country and its policies came up, everyone had a similar change in attitude and unwavering loyalty to the government.

I never felt that I was being targeted specifically, but I also never felt truly comfortable for a number of reasons. I’m glad I got to expand my horizons and experience a bit of what the country/city had to offer, I don’t think I would willingly go to live there again.

He can get fucked by a huge pine cone. He and those that back him are enemies of humanity at this point, willfully choosing to be cruel and sacrificing lives for money and power.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn if they use the sex offender registry to recruit for ICE

I’m no attorney and (luckily) have never been in a situation where I’ve had to use my firearm in defense of my life. But I will say, it depends on the circumstances. In Texas (and other states I’m sure), we are encouraged to only use firearms as a last resort of defense and in a situation where any other action would likely or reasonably result in our death (apart from maybe your home, castle doctrine). So out in public, it would be tricky to justify the use of deadly force where you might otherwise have had the option of running away from your alleged captors, calling local law enforcement, or some other course of action.

If you do survive the encounter, you will see the inside of a courtroom and I have a feeling the proceedings will be biased against you.

That being said, a few tips:

1. get in range time
2. don’t miss
3. don’t shoot anyone from behind
4. you shouldn’t want to murder people, but if you do open fire, make sure they can’t take legal action against you afterwards…
5. be able to explain exactly why you did what you did, and in response to questions like “why did you shoot this person?” be sure to avoid phrases like “I had to kill them”

To them, poor is probably like just a few dozen million USD.
