Please point to where I made this assertion. When you asked me, I directly answered and said that I would be scared too. However, I would not point a weapon at other people. What's so hard to understand about this?

Do you understand how it's hard to believe you'd be scared but not get your gun?

I don't want to get into this for a large part of the day again, but if you really want me to re-post where you were wrong, I will dig it up once more.

Why do you have such a hard time believing that not everyone would act the same way in the McCloskey situation? Why are you continuing to argue such an easily disprovable point?

I told you already how I would react in this situation. I would be scared, but I wouldn't grab a weapon or point said weapon at anyone.

You think it's probable the protesters broke the gate but won't concede it's probably how it happened. It's so weird.

Does HW even have a gun?

My guess would be no

Some of us are cut from a different cloth. I would never fire a weapon unless I was in imminent danger. You seem to believe otherwise.

They did not fire a weapon. I don't believe anyone is advocating that they should have (or even had the right to) open fire.

Some of us have had very different experiences. That's why it doesn't make sense to make general statements like that.

You don't know anything about me, but you are so certain about how I would react in this situation. Why? If you knew anything about me, you would know you are off base. I would say I have dealt with a lot more next level shit than most posters here. I know I wouldn't pick up a weapon under these circumstances, but for whatever reason you believe I would do that. You're just wrong.

I mentioned treason. I know that this is not treason. Just gross malfeasance. My point had to do with the penalty for treason.

Making our way through property that isn't ours is not trespassing. I go to the grocery store and casinos everyday. That is property that isn't mine, yet it isn't trespassing. There are videos and photographs showing these criminals pointing their weapons at people who never went on their property.

You have a very misguided idea of Criminals.

The constitution of this country allows people to defend themselves and their properties, I can't think of a more inherent right, way more rightful than protesting that is for sure.
So the people defending their home is a criminal in your mind but not the people trespassing on private property (which is fact).

You are as un-American as they come.

But you’ll admit these two homeowners were well within their rights to pick up their guns no?

Crooked Prosecutor Exposed

Kim Gardner staffer tampered with McCloskey’s ‘inoperable’ handgun in order to charge couple…

ST. LOUIS — The gun Patricia McCloskey waved at protesters was inoperable when it arrived at the St. Louis police crime lab, but a member of Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s staff ordered crime lab experts to disassemble and reassemble it and wrote that it was “readily capable of lethal use” in charging documents filed Monday, 5 On Your Side has learned. In Missouri, police and prosecutors must prove that a weapon is “readily” capable of lethal use when it is used in the type of crime with which the McCloskeys have been charged.
Assistant Circuit Attorney Chris Hinckley ordered crime lab staff members to field strip the handgun and found it had been assembled incorrectly. Specifically, the firing pin spring was put in front of the firing pin, which was backward, and made the gun incapable of firing, according to documents obtained by 5 On Your Side.
Firearms experts then put the gun back together in the correct order and test-fired it, finding that it worked.
Crime lab workers photographed the disassembly and reassembly of the gun, according to the documents.
Patricia McCloskey and her husband, Mark McCloskey, have said the handgun Patricia McCloskey waved at protesters was inoperable because they had used it as a prop during a lawsuit they once filed against a gun manufacturer. In order to bring it into a courtroom, they made it inoperable.
Their attorney, Joel Schwartz, confirmed to 5 On Your Side that the McCloskeys intentionally misplaced the firing pin on the gun and that it was in that condition when Patricia McCloskey waved it at protesters and turned it into their former attorney Al Watkins.
“It’s disheartening to learn that a law enforcement agency altered evidence in order to prosecute an innocent member of the community,” Schwartz said.
A spokeswoman for Gardner wrote: “We can’t comment on a pending case.”

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner took several trips that she failed to disclose, including travel to Portugal.That's a violation of St. Louis law.

Would be sweet if they took some kind of action.

There DEFINITELY were weapons in the crowd of hundreds of verbally threatening rioters. The rioters had recently assaulted police, and civilians, and burned down buildings, in the same midtown area.
