I suppose it would be more accurate that the murder statutes should be amended. Typically the laws are written to say homocide is illegal except in certain situations. States such as Texas have laws which explicitly allow the use of force in protection of property, and the use of lethal force if you have a legitimate fear for your life. I would like the laws to simply allow lethal force against looters without qualification.
I’m in Cal. During a riot we have to stand in front of our stores and pass out goods for no charge.
