I don’t agree with how the couple handled their guns, but they were on their property. In most of the USA, if you don’t want a gun in your face, don’t break down gates to enter someone’s private property. Pretty simple really.

So, because you've decided these people were wealthy to the extreme? What's the criteria and can you share a chart?
If the mob had started advancing on them they would have had all the right in the world to use deadly force.
It's only a matter of time before someone gets an itchy trigger finger and things will get really, really ugly.
Maybe, depends upon if they had reason to believe the mob was going to hurt them. I would in general say if the entire mob advanced than yes. But they didn't.
But again why bring the guns into it. Conceal one on your person and inform them that this is a private road and if they don't leave you will have to call police. Or quite frankly if it's a mob I would just stay in my home and call police. Keep my life and other's lives in the place where I can exercise the most control over the situation.
Sweet. Where do you live? I’ll be over with about 500 people tonight, some armed, and have a protest in your back yard while you’re eating then. I’m sure you won’t mind or feel threatened.
Not really. . . being on their property they are allowed to confront trespassers. They just don't need to do it brandishing weapons. If you are confronting a trespasser and after being asked to leave the trespasser(s) advance towards you especially using threatening language and advancing in numbers like that, it's a case were the trespassers created the confrontation by trespassing.
I disagree with you here. If a bunch of protesters are walking through your property you have the right in good faith to ask them to get off your property. This doesn't need to be done brandishing firearms (but carrying one concealed makes sense) If they ignore that and start moving towards you in any manner which would be considered threatening than your self defense rights kick in.
They brought guns into it which kept the mob away. Kind of like the dude with the liquor store in mnpls because he had armed people set up.
He is killing it now with sales, only one left.
The couple didn't bring guns into it...the protestors did.
I guess this is what the future looks like without police. Is this what these protesters want?
Did the protesters have guns. I see references to them being armed, I didn't see any indication as to what they carried.
So you are going to continue to support the domestic terrorists as long as their left wing?

I'll always support peaceful protesters, and always will. I do not support riots, looting and vandalism. Quit co-mingling and equating the spectrum of behaviors. The vast majority of the St. Louis group yesterday didn't riot, loot or vandalize property so quit acting like they did.
I even support having rich, cow-like women to stand on their lawn holding a pistol like they do their husband's perpetually limp and shriveled penis. And if she hurts or kills someone with her horrendous gun skills, I also support throwing her enormous ass into a very wide jail cell.
It's intellectually lazy to claim I said that, if not an outright lie. It should be expected from someone who ignores true domestic terrorists and tries to paint fringe protesters who damage property in the same light.
"Do what we say?" That might be a valid objection if what "they" are saying was unreasonable. However most of us think eliminating police brutality is a good thing. As opposed to the the real terrorists you conveniently ignore who kill to promote white supremacy or other neo-conservative platforms.
Lol. Come on, Goldie. I'm speaking to the larger context of everything that is going on. We've gone down a bad path over the last forty or fifty years. And now we're starting to see the comeuppance, so to speak.
I hope all those property owners who are told the cops don't need to protect their property send their tax bills unpaid back to city hall with a big FU city hall...
Were you ok when Joaquin Castro gave names and addresses of Trump donors?
Yes or no?
Correct. ^^ BTW, I saw a video clip a week or so ago where some people were guarding their place of business with apparent AR's, or the suchlike. I don't think they were terribly rich people...just people that wanted to protect their own property.
The urge to protect one's personal property is not a rich/poor thing per se. The more radical the protests...the more radical the response to the protests.
.sorry, you are supporting domestic terrorism. They are on private property terrorizing the neighborhood.
Nothing has been peaceful about any of this.
Police brutality? From what I have seen the terrorists you support have a fairly long laundry list.
If it were about police brutality I would agree but they have gone way past that.
$550,000,000 damage in Minneapolis alone is a few things? I guess to Pelosi and crew it is.
Wow, you're easily triggered if some drums and shouting equates to terrorism. Get a focking grip brochacho!
If you haven't noticed, they burned Minneapolis, that was terrorism.
These "protestors" were asked to be off the streets at 8 pm. They didn't comply and broke the law, and at that point became terrorists.
Peaceful protests is a joke. They terrorized the good citizens of mnpls.
Sorry, but they are domestic terrorists.
Not only mayors, Minneapolis city council members paying over $4k a day for protection. Over $60k for three members out of the city budget.
The St. Louis group did? Wow, they sure covered a lot of ground yesterday. Did the rich gun-toting wackos trail them up there the whole way?
I think those names were available through public records, if not then Castro's outing was wrong.
They were on private property. This couple was scared enough to pull weapons which they need some help with.
Just those actions show how terrorized those people actually were.
St Louis had rioting and looting as well.
You want to have peaceful protests, go stand in front of city hall. When you take it you neighborhoods and private property, you become terrorists.
