When a large, angry mob, with some of them armed, breaks through a gate into a private residential community, they pretty much put the matter into the hands of the residents. 4

I just thought his perspective on what happened was a pretty rational take. yup, pretty good analysis. The wife has no business having a gun and that was beyond dangerous and potentially criminal.

Funny how there are no interviews of these alleged "protesters" to defend themselves in this case... ...I suppose the problem with interviewing them is that there is absolutely zero justification for breaking through a gate onto private property... ...which is a subject that the MSM simply has to avoid at all costs... ...bad optics.

The funny thing is, if that would have been a large, angry, conservative mob, with people armed, going through that gate, he would have been cheering residents on to arm themselves. No intellectual consistency. 1

If people want to trespass and surprise people like that on their own property without previous provocation, then you are inviting a response full of adrenaline, and limited to a fight or flight response. As people cheer on lawlessness, you must expect that people will defend themselves in more extreme ways. If you want to decriminalize crime, while adding scrutiny to how victims attempt to defend against those crimes, while living in a climate of increasing chaos, without police protection, then be prepared for a populace that will become increasingly radicalized in defense of them selves and their property. It is a cycle that promotes crime, while also promoting more extreme measure to defend ones self. Is that really an ideal trend that you want to see? 1 1

I was very confidant that this was going to be your response. Trying to reason with some of you leftist operatives is a complete waste of time. You are not here to have an honest discussion. Have fun playing with everyone else. Off to ignore you go...

Pointing a gun at somewhere can lead to criminal or civil liability in some jurisdictions. But who really cares
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 I think I would apply the analysis that many in the msm and twittesphere apply to law enforcement every day. clearly, the crowd was in no danger. in fact, the couple was in no danger, either. not no one was in danger, so i really don't know what the fuss is. everyone goes home, let's leave it up to a certified counselor to (wo)mansplain to each party involved how this really is an opportunity for growth. 2

If people want to invade someone else's property in an attempt to intimidate and create fear, then this is the reaction you should expect. When people are threatened at home, you should expect to at least be threatened in equal measure. Apparently, they were effective in discouraging any more encroachment towards their home. 1

Well said. They were all just messing about... ...no harm no foul... ...and the couple gets to go on TV and fix their reputations with ease... ...while the "protesters" get to remain relatively anonymous and do it again. If this is how people want to handle lawlessness in the urban environment, then urban folks may want to consider moving while they can make a few dollars on the deal. There is nothing sustainable with this trend. BTW, your sarcasm was excellent. 1
