See the real issue is they are trying to condemn nationalism when they should be condemning nazism. The entire west ukrainian government is nationalist. Some of them are also nazis, like that guy. But rather than put "nazi" in the headline to reflect the meat of the article, they call it "ultranationalist". The american founding fathers were ultranationalists, they weren't nazis. Those media lefties are trying to navigate this insane hangup where they want to condemn nationalist movements by linking them to nazis with their own dogwhistle of 'ultranationalist', while ironically trying to support a nazi and brush over his nazism by watering it down as nationalism. Its sheer cognitive dissonance in action.

isn't it against the law in majority of western countries to defend your home from burglars too?
guy in Dublin got sentenced to 10 years or so, cos he beat the living shit out of the masked guy that was robbing his house with kid being asleep in next room.
iirc it's same in america. you have to ask them politely to leave, and usage of firearm or violence can put u behind bars

Meyer told the intruder not to come any closer or he would shoot him, the warrant reads. Meyer said the man took a few steps toward him with a pickax in his hand, the warrant says, and that’s when he fired his gun. He said the unidentified man dropped the pickax and ran into the park behind his property. Meyer told police he fired another shot “into the night” in the direction of the park and then went to bed.

Meyer was arrested and charged with murder

It shows the deceased jumping a six-foot privacy fence that encircles the entire backyard of the home and trying to enter the home through a back patio door. After unsuccessfully trying to enter the home, he entered the detached garage through a service door that leads into the backyard.
Through interviewing the homeowner and her son, MPD learned that the homeowner had seen the deceased on her Ring camera trying to enter her home and thought he had eventually left. The homeowner has a permit to carry, and she armed herself with her legally owned firearm before looking outside to make sure the deceased had left. She also asked her son to retrieve a rifle from downstairs because the man could possibly obtain it if he entered their home through the basement egress window. Upon looking outside, she saw that her garage service door was slightly ajar and realized the man was still there. She began firing warning shots and yelled for the man to leave. Her son was standing next to her and similarly yelling for the man to leave. They did not leave the interior of the home and remained at the threshold of their patio door.
The deceased eventually came out of the garage but refused to leave the backyard. Instead, he began walking toward the homeowner and her son. After repeated warnings to leave and more warning shots, he kept advancing toward them. Eventually, the man was shot a single time in the chest and he later died from those injuries.

While this case is tragic, there is not sufficient proof that the homeowner and/or her son are guilty of a crime.
Based on the evidence provided to our office, it appears the woman and her son would have valid self-defense claims.
