    Also the current climate we live in requires vigilance. They know that these mobs are out there destroying things. They saw this mob, it's potential, the fact that they already broke one law to close in on their property, and encircle it, and then hurled threats at them. People are acting like the couple didn't have this brought to them. They act like the couple intentionally went out of their way, when it's the other way around.

    It's quite possible to break the law peacefully. Trespassing is not in and of itself a violent act. You're losing it dude.

    The only people I saw threatening others with death are the people with the guns.

    It is legal to brandish a weapon when you're in reasonable fear of your life. In this case, they were so afraid of being killed that they came outside of their home and waived weapons around at people while yelling at them. Typically, fat and old people in fear for their lives stay in the house with their weapons and call 911 until someone tries to break into their house and then they can shoot them. That's a reasonable response.

    Threatening death is peaceful? They'd already shown that they don't follow the law and then threatened death. How is that peaceful? They had a reasonable fear for sure. You've written a story that deviates from the reality of the situation. Because it suits your bias.

    First of all, I would need corroboration of any death threats because this couple are lying ass lawyers trying to create a media narrative for their potential court appearance. Second, how many deaths threats did the couple receive before they came outside with their guns pointed at peaceful protesters? Not sure if you're aware Euro but pointing a gun at someone constitutes a death threat. That's what guns are for, killing.

    The reality is that they were so afraid for their lives that they went outside with their guns, pointed them at people, and began shouting at them. This is not the behavior of frightened people, it's the behavior of angry people.

    What is the evidence for any death threats? Please provide that.

    They don't need to corroborate that. You are welcome to not believe them, but that is their claim and it's a legal one to make. You can't have a recorder on 24/7. Also I don't know how many, but one would be sufficient. But they seem to indicate more since they added onto to other threats like saying they'd kill the dog too. The gun was brandished in defense and that's their claim. You need to also corroborate that the gun was pointed directly at a person and not away at other things. Do you have an exact shot that shows the alignment? Then you need to prove they weren't threatened. How do you prove that?

    I don't believe them, not even a little bit because we both know the sequence of events here. They both came outside and pointed weapons at people and that's when they began shouting back and forth. The brandishing came first and everything that happened was subsequent to that except the trespassing and even that was on property not owned by the couple, facts.

    The funny part is that now all of St. Louis knows they're garbage human beings that epitomize the privilege that the protests were partly about. The protest was wildly successful as a result.

    The order of events is actually not documented on camera fully. So no we don't know what you say to be true. Sorry.

    So it's your contention that protesters from more than fifty feet away threatened to kill the couple inside their big ole mansion and that rabbit ears there heard it and then came outside with his AR15 and his old, fat wife to confront an angry, violent mob because he was afraid for his life? Heh.

    They said they were preparing dinner on their porch actually, so I would guess they heard the threats outside when they too were outside. It's not MY contention. It's theirs. The one you dismiss entirely because you let your hate get the better of you.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there is an arson attempt on the house now that is symbolizes wealth, and specifically white wealth, to people who hate on people richer than them or people who simply hate rich white people. The strain of race politics and their overlap with Marxism, is a dangerous mix.

    Doesn't matter but they did step on his yard. Before that is key. They began encircling his house and yelled their threats. This is reason enough to defend yourself. You can't form a lynch mob and expect people to not defend themselves.

    They were just walking through the neighborhood, passed their house, until the guns were drawn.

    Prove it. It is all he said she said. You can't condemn them if you didn't hear it all.

    I am not a Euro and there are videos from the protesters at the property chanting it.
    Yes, they were on private property. The entire Portland Place street is a private street.
