Self defense laws still exist! You should have self-defense training before purchasing a firearm, from a police officer.

i guess looting iraqis is fine

Thank goodness for common sense.

These ' protesters' and 'looters' are mainly Black on Black which proves that their actions are mainly for illegal purposes, Mr Floyd's sad death is ' to them' just an excuse.

This needs to be said?

Good.

Hello Americans. Due to the lawlessness exhibited by the Police in America against its citizens eg: African Americans & other minorities, the Florida Sheriff who advised residents to shoot looters, should be more concerned of his rogue & criminal police...

Damn it’s like that now 😐. It is Purge-Election Year

That's the best way to do it, only if you shoot somebody, there's going to be a bit of some karma. Unless you're the police chief, you won't have time to worry about it. But you can get a new identity. He seems to be talking about an emergency situation.

Great advice

Am sorry but to protect my property i wld not be averse to this..lets be clear..looting is stealing.. taking something u didnt work for or pay for..cannot be tolerated whatever the circumstances..

💔💔💔💔💔💔😪

What's wrong with shooting someone breaking into your home?

FBI

Of course they should. What does breaking into someone's home have to do with the injustice inflicted on George Floyd?...

Play silly games win silly prizes. Everyone has the right to defend themselves and families, as well as their property too

Or pretend they were breaking in...

zuah16 Now this is not a good sign

Sounds perfectly reasonable. If someone breaks into my home, they won’t walk out.

This is the reason-

Gotta love the castle doctrine

_3rd_Derivative And they just don't get it.

I’m not condoning the use of guns to defend your property. If someone came into my house in the UK to loot/rob me, I’d defend my wife/home in whatever way possible.

On one of my visits to Florida I was advised by a local if I hired a car & saw someone driving without any lights at night I was NOT to flash them as it's a gang initiation thing that to join the gang they have to kill the first person who flashes their headlights at them

2ndAmendment protects you, thaaannkkk gooood 🙏

So were starting another civil war 🤔 the last one didn’t go well

Great advice

Sounds awful but if a mob was trying to gain entry to or set fire to my home I’d shoot them dead. Peaceful protest doesn’t involve home invasion, one is a civic duty the other is criminal.

America has gone completely f*cking nuts!

Fuck!

To be honest, if someone broke into my home in the middle of the night, I would shoot them too. I mean I am not going to let anyone hurt me or my family.

smart man...

That's crazy...

No need for advice, is self defense.

Shit and ppl moan some cultures used to cut the thief's hand smh

Why do we give a voice to someone promoting violence? EndPoliceViolence

Of course, you must and should.

The Sheriff of Nothingam.

Why is this necessary?

I keep forgetting that in America, dogs and property are more important than Black people being lynched.

One wonders why Democrat states are swinging

I hope the police clearly announce themselves, before rushing in to someones house, as we wouldn't want the sheriffs words to get them killed.

The lesson here? Don’t break into people’s houses!!! Wish we had this law in the UK! There would be a lot less crime. They are going to think twice if they think you could have a firearm behind the door lol

And so it beings

Kind advice...do they have „no knock warrants“? Then good luck...

Ffs!! Covid pandemic and they can do is protest and shoot people. I’m all for protest but at the moment this is not an appropriate thing to be doing.

Yes kill the thieving bastards

You should fire a warning shot before shooting anyone breaking into your home that would in most likelihood make them flee. If they persist after the warning then that's on them.

Good. Why is this controversial?

If this doesn't end soon then yes, there's a possibility that things of this nature will start happening...homes being looted...neighborhoods & things of that nature.

So much for the value of life in America.

Point?

I keep forgetting that in America, dogs and property are more important then black people being lynched.

So basically don’t walk down the street TrayvonMartin GeorgeFloydProtests

You say his words are similar to Trump’s and they aren’t are they. You’re quite wrong. He clearly says if a burglar come into your home then shoot them. Sounds completely correct. In the UK we’d say “any reasonable force necessary”, wouldn’t we.

It's normal to protect your family against terrorist. Why is this Breaking News?

Great idea, Buy that man a beer 🍻🍻🍻

America is a mess

Hellll yeahhhhh

THIS IS MY MAN! IF IT IS TRUE BRAVO!

This guy is on TV all the time. A baby loses a bib and he holds a press conference.

Is he the next president?

This is normal, no?

Something wrong with it?

Too right.

Yes!
