Like that matters. Roof Koreans are the only way to protect a business during a riot.

Not in Minneapolis. Mayor said defending your business or not if you kill a rioter, you’re going to jail.

Doesn’t seem like something he has the power to do.

Minnesota law on use of force allows for it:

quote:

4) when used by any person in lawful possession of real or personal property, or by another assisting the person in lawful possession, in resisting a trespass upon or other unlawful interference with such property; or


quote:

609.065 JUSTIFIABLE TAKING OF LIFE. The intentional taking of the life of another is not authorized by section 609.06, except when necessary in resisting or preventing an offense which the actor reasonably believes exposes the actor or another to great bodily harm or death, or preventing the commission of a felony in the actor's place of abode.

I would hope state law holds up if people are defending their own businesses.

It's based on how MN laws are worded. In short if you are the potential victim of a violent act, it is your job to escape and not use lethal force to defend yourself.

place of abode.

That only applies to your home and if you're preventing a felony.

I’m sure the mayor could have someone arrested, but I would like my chances in court over an overzealous mayor.

*If possible.

If you’re in your business and a crowd of rioters surrounds you, escape isn’t possible.

Rent a good numbers of u hauls.
Take everything of value out now moving it off site well out of town to unknown location to even employees before noon when thugs get up.
Leave empty safe open.
Break windows and make it look damaged.
Hopefully the next night it looks looted and not worth their time.

MN has been very anti stand your ground, i wouldn't be surprised that a jury would agree that the rioters would not have harmed you had you walked out the front door

I wonder if there is any grounds for a lawsuit against the city of Minneapolis or the mayor for allowing this to happen.

You're confusing self defense with stand your ground.
