In my law school class for Criminal Law, we briefly touch on the 'social contract' of the rule of law, and I think it should be elaborated on further because this case is exactly what happens when that contract falls apart.
Enjoyed the episode! Could there be a legal theory for community or collective self-defense? Didn't SCOTUS confer personhood to corporations in several cases, with the last being Citizens United? SCOTUS ruled in Citizens United that corporations are "associations of citizens" and hold collected rights of the individual citizens. Aren't incorporated towns also an "association of citizens" and by extension the individual citizens of the town hold a collected right as an individual entity: in this case, a collected individual right of self-defense?
In my view, they didn't have much of a choice. All recourses through law enforcement were tried and defeated by a criminal willing to leverage every advantage up to and including violence. Someone's life was in the balance. It's not like they went from one offense to vigilante justice. Every other recourse had been tried. I believe this is one of those special cases where the act was justified.
This was great and all, but I want Alice to do a u tube while she’s cooking. Not daily, weekly or even monthly, just a few times a year. I’m a visual person and a terrible cook! It would be very entertaining.
Sure appreciate your presentations! Thanks for all your hard work and research. You make a super team!
When the system fails, you have to do something. Sorry.

Wow! Incredible story. Reminded me of the Agatha Christie, murder on the Orient express.

Thanks for the podcast.
I've heard of this guy but had no idea what a terrible pos he was and what he got away with.

Hi!
You're not really a teenager unless your age ends in "teen", to me. But I'm probably in a small minority.
