    We probably don’t want EMTs and other first responders to die because some asshole booby trapped their property

      Charge the crime. If your booby trap hurts an innocent person, that’s different than the booby trap hurting the intended target. I’m advocating that a person shouldn’t be punished for harming a person attempting to victimize another. To that end, there are probably some first responders who I’d be ok with getting hurt by booby traps (i.e. wrong address raids, 4th amendment violators, etc.).

          One man’s psychopath is another man’s savior. They hung John Brown as a traitor, but he was the greatest patriot the US ever had.

            Comparing maiming emergency responders to attempting to free the slaves sounds like something John Brown wouldn’t take too kindly to

              Everyone is all ACAB until someone says “Chris Dorner” lol. Y’all know “first responders” includes “C” right? He didn’t say “hang paramedics.”
