I would absolutely love to see, on film, how all these second guesser's would react to the same or similar situation. Y'all might just get the chance in the not too distant future, make sure you film it for us.

The place looks like it has many, many places from which you could do essentially what these people did- from inside, with barriers between them and these mutts, rather than engage them at handgun distances on the front lawn.

Why give up some of your main tactical advantages if you are obviously out numbered (cover / concealment / high ground / ready access to your other tools)?

You can tell a few things just by looking at them. The guy is holding it in hip fire mode. He has no intention of using the sights at all. She has no firearms experience at all. These people more than likely bought a few guns for the house, possibly test fired them if they did at all, then put them away. They obviously never trained or practiced. That’s evident. You can tell that he isn’t a real AR guy by the way that gun was configured as well. No new hand guard. No optic. Nothing. The magazine is an old GI mag. The rifle looks like an old Bushmaster or Rock River Arms from the 2000’s. Based on that one can surmise that it is probably loaded with ball ammo too. I do not see this guy buying defensive hollow points and never upgrading the rifle with at least a flashlight. It’s probably never been zeroed either.

I’m confident of that just by looking at him.

Ok, but at least they had the weapons, and the courage to use them to defend their home.

Ok here’s one. Mob of protesters comes down your street. Being a country loving patriot you have old glory flying in the front yard.
Mob enters your yard, takes down the flag and is attempting to set fire to it.
WWYD ?

I know this isn’t what happened to them but I think it’s an appropriate place to ask this.
Mods if you disagree just delete.

Should make no difference, all that matters is the story that you can tell and how far you are willing to take your story.

Articulation my friend. The most important thing to remember.

Lying sucks because it's a pain in the ass to remember them.

It's the only reason I always tell the truth.

As you know it is one of law enforcement's advantages over the mopes. That and criminals are stupid and self-interested.

Gotta practice. The art of articulation and manipulation takes years to perfect

I say good on them for doing what needed to be done to protect yourself and your home. But for Pete's sake folks, spend some of those millions on some good training!!

Catholic Priest Attempts to Defend St. Louis Statue from Further Leftist Vandalism — Leftist Mob Threatens to TAKE CATHEDRAL NEXT!
At one point Rev. Stephen Shumacher, a priest with the St. Louis Archdiocese took a microphone and started to tell the crowd about the life of St.Louis. Of course, none of the protest mob had any idea why they were there or who they were protesting
At one point you can hear an individual making threats against the St. Louis Cathedral, “Eventually, we’re taking that too!”

This is not a peaceful protest movement we are witnessing.
This is a Marxist revolution.

I'm so tired of hearing people trying to justify these protestors trespassing by saying "the gate was open when we came through"

So if I leave my front door open, is that an invitation for you to come into my living room and make yourself comfortable?

They stop being peaceful when they break an iron gate, trespass on private property, refuse to leave and then threaten home owners. Sorry that's not peaceful. Any story that describes them as peaceful protesters being bullied by Ken and Karen has been written by a lying asshole and is part of the problem. It's such disingenuous and outright slanderous reporting they are furthering the violence by embellishing what happened and ignoring major details. The media is to blame. The media is pushing this shit. Im so sick of their agenda pushing and manipulating weak minds. Read the accounts of this event 90% of them try to spin it that these poor ol' peaceful protesters minding their own business were victims of intimidation by an unhinged obviously racist Ken and Karen.

The media can go to hell. If/when cw2 starts I hope people remember who fanned the flames and pushed this shit, they need to be held accountable for what they are advocating for.

The one problem these folks have now is they have brought a lot of attention to themselves .. They are a target for thieves and perhaps Antifa will make an example of them for standing up to the mob. It does not take too much to destroy that property if they have the will. Instead of tearing down statues and burning cars it is easy for them to ratchet up their game ....Could see whole city blocks go up in flames

Protesters return to St. Louis area where couple drew guns
Protesters return to St. Louis area where couple drew guns
By JIM SALTERJuly 4, 2020 GMT



ST. LOUIS (AP) — Several hundred protesters made a peaceful return trip Friday to the St. Louis mansion owned by a white couple whose armed defense of their home during an earlier demonstration earned them both scorn and support.
Protesters marched along the busy public boulevard called Kingshighway, which intersects with Portland Place, a private street that is the site of the Renaissance palazzo-style home of Mark McCloskey, 61, and his 63-year-old wife, Patricia.
Chanting protesters on Friday stopped at the gate just outside the McCloskeys’ home for about 15 minutes. The gate that closes the private street to non-residents and extra metal barriers blocked the entrance to Portland Place, where the protesters had walked earlier in the week on their way to the mayor’s home nearby.


Inside the gate, more than a dozen men in plain clothes walked the grounds and peered out from a second-floor balcony of the couple’s home. One protester briefly straddled an iron gate as if he was going to jump over, but did not. No one threw anything and no one behind the gates showed aggression. One man on the McCloskeys’ balcony clapped along with the chanting protesters.

This behavior (destruction of property, tresspassing, etc) lends more credibility to the Giuliani broken window policy where criminal behavior is not tolerated.

The downward spiral will accelerate.

Good, so they were smart and hired some professionals. Hopefully their get themselves some training in the near future too.

What sort of fucking bizzaro world are we living in that we are now going to harass these people for defending themselves and their home, with NO SHOTS FIRED and no injuries.

Missouri couple who defended home have rifle seized during police search: report

Authorities in St. Louis executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who made headlines last month when they took up arms to defend their home from protesters.
