      If Boris is being shot and explodes, the likelihood of the home owner already being killed by ICE or other agents is pretty high.

      Gotta ask though, if it needs to be shot to go off, is that really a booby trap? I have draino in my house, that isn’t a trap. Maybe you have to put a sign on it saying don’t shoot?

          There’s a lot of reasonableness and average person would expect in law, but needing a supersonic bullet to hit it is well out of reasonable territory.

          I just wonder where the line is. Is it intent to harm. So if say the thing was a gift, and they didn’t know it was explosive. Would that absolve the person of guilt. Maybe it goes to manslaughter in that case?
