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.
