While technically true, the international standard has been to treat foreign embassies as such, because "invading" a foreign embassy is essentially an act of war.

Today, though, what standards are even left?

In response, the NRA posted: “This sentiment … is dangerous and wrong. Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens.”

Motherfuckers, NRA was referring to the people who recognize this as a murder, that they should await a full investigation (and by extension, not believe their own eyes).

NRA makes rare statement against Trump admin over Alex Pretti shooting ( www.newsweek.com )

The National Rifle Association (NRA) criticized comments by a senior federal prosecutor warning that approaching law enforcement with a gun could justify a fatal police response, saying such statements risk "demonizing law‑abiding citizens" as the nation reels from the killing of a man in Minneapolis by a U.S. border agent....

The Association can dissolve itself, but that doesn't have anything to do with the Declaration. That's the document that lays out all the rules and regulations which have to be followed, and in order to even amend that, you're probably going to need an overwhelming number of lots/units to vote in favor of that. And there may be an additional clause that says something like "in order to entirely cancel this Declaration, you need 100% of lots/units to vote in favor of that".

Then, without an Association, but with the Declaration still in place, any homeowner can sue any other homeowner for a perceived violation of that Declaration. By dissolving the Association, you're potentially opening the floodgates.

You're gonna have to take that chance. Doing that puts the ball in her court for the next step. That makes you vulnerable to being hurt. She will know that, that you're putting yourself in that position.

It's like when a dog lays on his back for belly rubs. It's a vulnerable position, shows "I don't want to hurt you, and I trust you not to hurt me." If she needs to say no, she'll do it kindly, then you need to accept it.

But you might get belly rubs.

DOJ Moves to Block Independent Monitor in Maxwell Case, Says Courts Cannot Force Epstein File Disclosures ( meidasnews.com )

Wait wait wait ... they're arguing that a law can't be enforced at all unless there are specific clauses in it which describe what enforcement of that law is?

If that stands, that's precedent that will make all sort of laws unenforceable.

This is the modus operandi. They do whatever they want right now, with total disregard for law, then hold the ensuing case up in the courts for as long as possible while they lather, rinse, repeat.
