It's amazing that after what Los Angeles went through with those fires, with the appalling failure and incompetency of government at all levels, that the first response of the state legislature is to say, "Gee, maybe we should make it safer for the looters to ransack people's homes in a disaster area. We'd hate to see any of them get hurt while doing their looting." Among other things, if this becomes law, you will only be able to use the same level of force as your attacker. So if someone attacks you with a bat or a knife and you shoot them, you’re a murderer.
