those two had their property vandalized, and had threats made against them by the mob. But you don't like the idea of citizens (at least wealthy white ones?) engaging in the right to self defense?

Let's get back to the other issue...do democrats have a vested interested in keeping large numbers of poor people in the cities (all of whom vote democrat), yes or no? If you think the answer is no, can you please tell me why all the democrats at the state of the union sat there miserable, while the republicans celebrated that black unemployment was at its lowest level ever recorded? What does it say to you, that this outcome made the democrats so miserable? And why oppose school choice?

I didn’t see any video of anyone on their property or even threatening them. Sure it’s a private road but give me a break, they are lucky as hell they didn’t shoot anyone with their temper tantrum. As things stand they could still be charged.

they are claiming their hate was broken and threats were made. IF that’s true, they are obviously justified, though they should have stayed inside.

every report mentions their whiteness. there is zero reason to conclude as of now, to conclude that played any role. but it’s all your side cares about in an election year.

how about we wait for the truth to come out before liberals
post their address all over the internet?

If an inexperienced person is going to point a loaded firearm at another human being with their finger on the trigger you'd better have a good excuse. People banging a drum on your sidewalk isn't good enough. They should have stayed inside the protesters would have walked right by.

The only mention of their whiteness I've read came from their attorney who called them "My clients, as melanin-deficient human beings."

No, I didn't make that up.

Are you referring to the one in the mob loading a magazine in his Glock and racking the slide?

The homeowners were getting out front on the trouble to be pre-emptive of any violence against them, they were alone with no help. I say that is good enough given the circumstances. Yes their choice to go outside may not have been the best, but it was also not wrong.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Sounds like a responsible CCW. Peaceful protest confronted by two people screaming at you branding weapons. One slip of the finger by Karen and he could have gone full on mad minute (well maybe 10 seconds) with that AR.

Actually they were escalating tensions and it could have ended tragically. I'm not saying I can't understand why they were concerned, but in all the videos I've seen the group (not a mob) was just chanting, drumming and walking forward aside from those filming. Nobody was advancing on their property.

And to the reason why they were there in the first place. The idiot mayor lives a block away in the same gated community.

at least not after their show of defense but add some context to it all and you may be able to have some understanding.

I saw a man in the video trying to herd others away from that home, so it looked to me that not all those trespassers were there to do harm or at least had some common sense to realize they should not egg these people on and should leave the area.

Agreed. Trespassers threatening to kill him and his dog and threatening to burn his house, in the immediate wake of what took place there, would qualify, wouldn't it?. A police captain was murdered not long before.

The couple say that's what happened. Even Chris Cuomo, that right wing nut, conceded when interviewing the husband, that the mob broke into where they don't belong.

Let's let the process play out before we make them out to be horrible people. Tell me why that's wrong.

"The only mention of their whiteness "

You're a liar. I saw multiple reports on CNN and MSNBC that made a big deal of their skin color.

Yes you did. Here are links to stories that make an issue of their whiteness. You are so beyond full-of-sh*t when your side is in the wrong, aren't you? Do you actually urinate down your leg when your side is wrong, and you know it, because you know you can't admit it, Spence?

Pete says there were no race riots before Trump started tweeting, Paul tattling again, and you denying that the liberal media is making an issue of their skin color.
