Hmm. Opinions are usually prefaced with “I think” or “I feel”. You came right out and created a narrative about these folks, however. So no, I’m not buying the “opinion” bit. But whatevs. Show your colors - it’s your right.

Is that how you prevent someone from throwing a molotov through your window? Stay inside?

Secondly, your other post about your behavior with people on your property did not involve a mob that had already gotten a reputation for violence and burning things. Equating them to a panhandler or someone out hiking on your land is unfair and you aren't even trying to put yourself in their shoes.

Now I agree with some of your points, but you keep ascribing completely different scenarios then saying their behavior in those scenarios is wrong and also going over what they were thinking etc.

In short there is an awful lot of imagination in your condemnation.

I may have handled things differently, but I wasn't there and I didn't get to see and hear everything they did, a rather one-sided story by video, have we not learned anything from this?

It’s trending towards the biggest mistake of their lives. Their personal injury business will be decimated.
IMO, the only way this is not going wreck them is if they get out ahead and apologize up and down and promise to “do better” before the full investigation report. Damage control 101.
They are lawyers, embellishing and twisting things is what they do. I would trust the worst BLM protester before trusting a PI lawyer, and here you have two making a case for themselves.

From all accounts, the people walking by were peaceful. Not sure why these two felt the need to points weapons at them. Certainly no threatening behavior on the part of the those marching that would justify this.

As luck would have it, it is illegal in Missouri to threaten folks with guns.

Prison sentences and fines involved and a fair amount of legal precedence.

Who knew, eh?

At least the lady pointing a gun wore a shirt that said she was ready for prison.

I do not know them and did not claim to know them, therefore it can only be an opinion. Even if I knew them well it would still be my own take on the situation. No I do not, nor do most other posters, always preface an opinion with "I think", when something is obviously presented as a thought, idea or opinion. Try again.

Were they throwing molotov cocktails? No, but Fox did lie and say they were burning things so it makes sense that you make this fake argument up. Your hate is very imaginative. These people were marching on a street to get to the mayors house to protest. These 2 people were not in danger but they came out and put themselves in danger.

This and Trump's White Power tweet are distractions to keep people from realizing that Trump is a traitor who let Putin pay to have American soldiers killed.

If you take a second to google you'll find out that all gated community roads are private and not public and your labeling the road something else does not change that.

They are indeed private co-owners of that road.

Hey, when something like this pops up unless you're an expert do what I do and google the topic THEN reach a conclusion.

Nope - Early video of the group entering shows someone holding the gate open as people enter. No damage.

Not at all clear it is trespassing. Simply the same as going up your walk to the front door of a home.
