#4 Tennessee's laws are not Texas's. You can't defend property with lethal force in Tennessee. So nobody wanted the legal trouble of smoking these guys. Now had they gone to deep Appalachia, it wouldn't have made the news cause they'd just...go away.

#12 Under current Tennessee law (see generally Tennessee Code Annotated Sec. 39-11-614 for example), a civilian is not allowed to use deadly force to a) protect personal property, b) to stop a trespass on real property, c) to terminate an attempted theft of property, or d) to make a citizen’s arrest.

#14 "it's just property". NO, it civilization.

One of Jack Vance books "my property represents the part of my life that I've spent to obtain it."

#15 Asheville NC fell victim to the defund Police movement. Police were reduced from 'protectors of society' to post-event investigators of felony incidents.

Now inlaws say neighborhoods are posted, "you will be shot" and everybody on night patrol is carrying.

#16 For the Tennessee city folk, that's how Tennessee law works....for other parts, you just vanished and nobody saw you. You might get found in one of those 200' sink holds in a few decades but....
