What if the "insurrection" happened in Texas to a homeowner with armed security forces?

Man is a caretaker for four years. Let's say it's an apartment building with an onsite office and a nearby house for the caretaker. At the end of those four years another caretaker is hired and the former caretaker is required to move out.

Former caretaker thinks it's still his right to have that job, even though the Landlord has already been in court with this person 60 times and it has been confirmed that the former tenant has no right to remain caretaker.

Former caretaker goes to a huge park nearby and gives a speech to 1000's of people telling them the lie that he has the right to be the caretaker in that apartment building and to live in the house provided for the caretaker. Telling them they should go and get it back for him by stopping the people filing the paperwork from doing their job by any means necessary.

The people filing the paperwork have security outside trying to keep the crowd away so they can do their job, but the crowd is armed and dangerous, beating and even killing the security forces.

Once the building is breached, security uses deadly force against the mob and evacuates the workers inside.

The crowd ransacks and rages and is eventually removed.

The workers come back and do their job.

Does that homeowner have the right to sue the previous caretaker for sending a mob to attack the house?

IS anyone who helped this to happen guilty of participating in the crime?


WHO are we kidding?

IF this happened in Texas to a homeowner, everyone who DARED cross that threshold would be so full of bullets, there would not be anyone left to be tried except the goon who sent them and the traitors who were supposed to be doing their jobs.

In Texas, if someone is on your property, trespassing it's their own fault if they get shot.

If they climb into your house by breaking a window, it is breaking and entering.

If they kill your dog, or your security guard, you have every right to shoot them.

IN TEXAS, the person defending their home has the right to defend themselves.


BUT in the People's House, how do you shoot The People?

You know they are deranged because they have been fed lies and even if Texas if it was a drunken or crazy uncle, they might hesitate.

BECAUSE DEMs have a sense of REFUSING to get down and dirty on the level of people breaking the law, we held back.

I'm still proud that our side isn't embracing lawlessness so we can "WIN" elections.

I'm just heartbroken that playing by the rules could mean we lose our Democracy and those rules will go by the wayside.
