Boat people aren't the same as a Viking hoard. If they were, it would actually be legal to shoot them. Instead, they are just chancers looking to steal, and be lazy for free money. There are also criminals, but you can only use lethal force when someone is engaged in lethal force activities.
Put it like this: militaries around the world engage in "shoving matches" where no one gets shot. Even with something as serious as borders with armed, uniformed, adversaries violating them, normally people don't get shot because there wasn't enough of a hostile act to actually engage in lethal conduct. Examples include:
.> Instead, they are just chancers looking to steal
You...don't know very much about vikings do you?
but you can only use lethal force when someone is engaged in lethal force activities.
This is just outright false. Also said boat people keep ending up raping and murdering once they get here, so even with your rules of engagement lethal force is perfectly justified. They have a pattern of lethal behavior so we should have a lethal deterrent to keep them out. Simple.
There is no good reason not to be extremely hostile to the point of violence when these people show up looking to invade.
They engaged in mass rape, mass murder, and mass looting on landing. The worst we've seen *on landing) is a dude breaking into someone's house. And you can use lethal force for that, but it's not the same as a Viking beach assault.
There is no good reason not to be extremely hostile to the point of violence when these people show up looking to invade.
There is the law, and there is a less lethal option.
If you tell me, "If I saw a bunch of boat people charging across my property, I'd spray them with mace", that's 100% legit.
