It's not a comment on the legal system, just political support for a political action.

It has yet to be demonstrated the protesters were on the McCloskey's property. They were on private property, yes. The street and sidewalk in that private neighborhood are almost certainly owned by the neighborhood association.

What are your state laws concerning pointing a deadly weapon at someone?

I'm not scared to defend myself, either. However, I don't find pointing a deadly weapon at protesters walking by to be reasonable reaction, even if it's a "private neighborhood".

these protesters were not walking by, and they by law they shouldn't have been there.....they swore at the McCloskeys and threatened them and their dog.

I have the right to defend myself and my property if I feel threatened will trump whatever you are referring to.

St. Louis 2020:
If a person defends Life, Liberty & Property, they are a criminal
People that threaten, harm and take, Life, Liberty & Property are the victims.

Does that sound like America? Welcome to Marxism 2020 USA

Life, Liberty, Property & Good Reputation, the founding of American Law.

It has always been true, that if one threatens, harms, or takes, anyone's Life, Liberty, Property, or Reputation, they could be killed in an instant. Justifiably. The entire reason for the courts. To decide guilt or innocence, or decide since he didn't kill you during the act, to decide when you will hang by the neck.

They are charged with violating a Missouri law about threatening people with guns.

At the trial, they can present evidence that they were threatened, were in fear for their lives, etc.

That's how our justice system works.

Surprising that so many on this thread are unaware of this.

It is absolutely not true in the U.S. that if one threatens or harms your reputation, property, etc. that she/he can justifiably be killed in an instant.

What country do you live in?
