First of all, there are ample he said/she said floating around. It just depends on which news site you look at. I personally look at both to see both sides, I don't take CNN seriously (I assume that is your priority new source) and I don't take Fox News seriously. I listen to both and I certainly don't form an opinion based off anything I hear on either. Second of all, who cares how many death threats the received prior to them coming outside with guns pointed at people trespassing on their lawn? If you do some DD on the couple, I would think it is safe to say they have had a few in the past with their actions. Lastly, I am not a Euro lulz and the last I checked, there is this thing called the Constitution with the amended Bill of Rights. It seems you want to abolish it or rewrite history. The same amendments you are expressing right now voicing your opinion on guns is the same amendments that gives a person the right to bear arms when someone is threatening their property. Check out the District of Columbia vs Heller in 2008. Considering the anarchy and destruction of these riots/protest prior to this event, I think it is safe to say many people would feel threatened if a mob of people chanting and screaming in a megaphone pushed open a gate to their private street and were marching with pickets and cameras. I wouldn't have stood in my yard with an assault rifle, but I sure as hell would have been in the window watching with my many guns in an arms reach.
Simple question? If they felt so threatened why did they come out of their house? It was not their private street and nobody else felt the need to take up arms.
Right, they were outside and heard threats. So, being terrified, they went inside to find their guns and then back outside to confront an angry, violent mob. Is that your latest? I hope so.
They might (or might not) have had a right to defend their property, but they still seem like really unpleasant people.
Yup. The faces they made weren't faces of fear. It was faces of smugness and it was obvious. They weren't afraid. They knew those people were coming to protest the mayor's residence, not theirs. I don't think any protestors stepped on their property.
Then post it. I don't take your claim seriously because equating CNN with Fox News isn't serious. There's no comparison in the daily level of propaganda at Fox News, none. I care. The claim that they were in their enormous home and heard death threats so they went outside with their guns pointed at people is absurd. Those are the actions of angry people, not scared people. Now they're shoveling bull**** because they've already been served with a search warrant and they know there are possible charges coming. They're lawyers and you're buying into their story not because of any set of facts that you've shown here but rather because you're predisposed. There's nothing in the Bill of Rights about brandishing firearms at unarmed people walking past your house in a protest. Having gun rights doesn't mean you can do whatever the hell you want. The 2nd amendment, like every other damn amendment, can have restrictions placed on it by any jurisdiction. Please post all of the mansions burned down, people murdered, and houses looted at this riot. I'd like to see the list. If they felt threatened, why'd they come out of the house? Where would it be reasonable to assume they'd be safest, inside with their guns or outside on the porch pointing guns at people and engaging in a shouting match? Seriously. I hope this goes to court because I'd like to hear what nonsensical answer these clowns give under oath. It was not their private street, it was a private street that they had no ownership of whatsoever. It's actually convenient that the protesters had cameras, otherwise who knows what GI Ken and Barbie would have done. Hopefully the police subpoena any cameras this couple has in their home so we can see what they did inside and maybe even what they discussed inside. Many guns? Many guns. Bigly guns, manly guns. The best guns you ever saw.
being fat rich white ugly lawyers will not have any national sympathy. I don't think the term brandishing applies but they pointed guns at people which is probably not going to fly. they had old ass guns also
Today is Bastile Day. This seemed like the appropriate thread to post about another bunch of undesirable hooligans tresspassing on private property and meeting an armed response. That conflect ended well for the homeowner, right?
In the time it took you to post this, you could quickly look this up on your "sources" like Twitter and CNN to answer your question. Like I said in my original post, CNN and Fox are both equally full of **** making everything a political issue. If you can't see that, you are flat out ignorant. You can claim what you want, the fact that they have an "enormous home" just shows your envy. Nowhere in my post did I say these people are saints and quite frankly, I expressed that I disagreed with their actions. A simple check on them shows they are bigots. You clearly have a lack of education when it comes to gun laws in this country. I would suggest you look these up before you form an opinion. Missouri is a permit-less carry state pal. They can be indicted all they want. The law is the law and the case I pointed out in my post (if you would look it up) will clearly explain it. Lol.. where did I say brandishing firearms at unarmed people walking past "my" house was ok? I clearly pointed out these "protest" were not ALL protest. Many were peaceful, in Houston for example. Other areas they were an act of riots and destruction by a bunch of anarchist. The past actions taken by these lunatics wouldn't give anyone any sense of security. The fact that you think jurisdiction is more powerful than state/federal is comical. Why are you so concerned with all of the mansions that burned down? You should be concerned with the small businesses that were destroyed, looted, etc. These small business (and large ones too) provide jobs and benefits to people! Why are you asking me a question that I can't answer? I told you in my previous post that I disagreed with the way they handled it. It will go to court and it will go away as I pointed out above. You honestly think these people will go to jail for this? Jail should be for mass murderers, rapist, etc. They live on a private street, which comes with fees, (think HOA, etc.). Many neighborhoods do not allow soliciting, much less this kind of behavior. Especially if it is a private street. You are asking for the police to invade a persons privacy. This is going to go nowhere and you hate it, but it is a fact. You are preaching socialism and Marxism. If you want to rid the US of the freedom, Constitution, and subsequently the Bill of Rights (as I pointed out in my original post), you are free to express that opinion. Aww! Are you upset? Boo hoo, poor baby! Yes, I have many "bigly" and "manly" guns because I am an outdoors person who likes to hunt and live off of the land when I can. I am also extremely responsible about it unlike many of these lowlifes in NYC and Chicago shooting whoever the hell they want because they can. "Defund the police they say!" "We can protect ourselves they say"! Yet, shootings are hitting record highs in these cities and innocent children are victims. Look it up! I worked my ass off to get where I am and I am happy I can enjoy these things with my family and friends. I don't rely on government hand outs to take care of me. I pay my taxes and donate as much as possible. People come to this country for the right to be free, express their speech, religion, start a business, and etc. News flash: There are many countries that repress their citizens so the dictators and elite can run the place. Government regulation is the end of a democracy. You want that? In conclusion, I will leave you with this: Spoiler
It's up to you to substantiate your claims, not me. If you're going to claim something, back it up or shut up about it. Political issues are always political issues, regardless of who is reporting them. You're full of **** if you think CNN and Fox News are equivalent. The FACT that they have an enormous house is just a FACT and anyone who has ever been in an enormous house knows that you can't hear what the hell people are saying outside of the enormous house. Carrying a weapon and brandishing a weapon are two different things which you must know since you're all educated on the law. Good, I'm glad we agree that can be indicted all they want and since you're knowledgeable on the law you must know that an indictment means a grand jury or a judge found probable cause that a crime was committed. Right here where you equated permit-less carry with pointing weapons at people. So there were in fact zero mansions burned down, zero murders, and zero looting taking place when these bigots (in your own words) brandished firearms at a group of peaceful protesters. State and federal are jurisdictions, so are city and county. Maybe a definition of jurisdiction is in order. ju·ris·dic·tion /ˌjo͝orəsˈdikSH(ə)n/ noun the official power to make legal decisions and judgments. I've been posting in these threads about protests and riots for weeks whereas you just showed up and wanted to share your expertise on the matter in this thread so you have no idea what I'm concerned with. This thread is about a couple of bigots waving weapons around and you claimed they had right to fear because of all the rioting and looting which actually was not taking place on this day. Don't care. I've already said that protesting has a history of civil disobedience. Maybe you need that definition too. See, the whole thing here is that you and these bigots think they can hide behind their gates and fences and not be touched by the common people and their grievances. They use their money, influence, and power to insulate themselves from the street. History says this always reaches a breaking point and ultimately fails, always. This case exemplifies that because now this couple is famous and the implosion of their lives will begin at their own hands. Ultimate irony. Oh my god with the socialism and marxism. YouTube University giving out paper degrees now or is still all in your head? The rest of your stuff is just childish and a total waste of my time.
Hopefully this is discourage other assault weapon yielding yahoos from rushing outside armed to the hilt whenever scary people walk by...
I know he drinks liquor. Not sure about the gavel. In a few days he will have an autographed Earl Campbell jersey behind him.
