Yes,  lawyers know how to craft a good narrative so they're all ready for court.   As I said,  and Needs said,  and you have not responded to,  brandishing weapons and pointing them is provocative, escalates aggression,  and is a felony in Missouri.

Gated community.
Saw the man interviewed.
He says they were in fear of their lives,

What did you think he was going to say?

He was at 0 risk, even after he yelled at them to leave. Nobody in the group is accused of brandishing a weapon, merely being in possession. The owners escalated things - and if he was fearful, then have his wife call police.

But no.

They are liars.

That's what he said, I saw him say it.
They looked very frightened to me.

The protesters were armed?
They should also take footage of that to their trial.

What Kam said - if the Saint Loonies support BLM they could have posted that in a window.   Nobody was threatening their home until they escalated aggressively and started brandishing weapons.  Think this through:  why weren't other homes along the route threatened? 

As for " they were in fear of their lives... " isn't that what a lot of cops who have murdered unarmed citizens offer as a defense?   Isn't that the kind of rationale that the BLM movement and city governments are subjecting to scrutiny?   How ODD that lawyers,  styling themselves as civil rights champions, would go right for that particular justification.

Kudos to SCOTUS for finally sealing the coffin on the Catholic bigotry of James Blaine. His proposed Constitutional  Amendment Of the late 1800’s to bar tax money to parochial schools failed but 60 per cent of the states added similar provisions to their state constitutions. Today the court ruled if states give aid to
Private schools they cannot discriminate on the basis of religion.
A first amendment victory and a boost to school choice which could lead to better education for poor kids.

Time to end vouchers.

Again.

Talk about swimming upstream

The Montana ruling could qualify as a Landmark decision in boosting public money to private schools. Just a month ago Florida passed a law that will quadruple the number of students eligible now to have a true choice in where they go school. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was elected on the strength of his school choice stance.

[Kam]

What were they supposed to do?

How about go out and stand on their lawn holding up a BLM sign?  Would've saved them a lot of hassle.

[bambu.]

Their trial should be interesting.

They did not shoot anyone.

Calm is all very nice, until armed protesters are marauding thru your gated community ...maybe the community needs some better gates...and are outside your house intent on who knows what.
The home is historic and very valuable.

If I were their lawyer that's what I'd be impressing on the jury.

[Kam]

Maybe the Mayor should've just resigned.  Instead of holding her gated community neighbors to this type of emotional anguish.

Never go outside when there's trouble. ( never get out of the car either )....it will only end badly.
If the trouble is on the street, it might not involve you, and might pass you by.
If trouble sets foot on your property then that's the time to prepare to shoot...and shoot if your home is invaded.

Retired Marine Lt. Col. Amy McGrath has won the state’s U.S. Senate Democratic primary, NBC News projects, narrowly edging Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker in a tougher-than-expected race for the right to face Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in November.

McGrath, who was backed by several establishment Democrats including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., had initially had been a heavy favorite in the race and held an enormous fundraising edge over Booker, whose candidacy has received the support of progressive lawmakers and groups.


...McGrath led Booker 44.9 percent to 43.4 percent, or by a margin of about 7,500 votes, with 91 percent of the state's precincts reporting, according to NBC News.

Now you know where to send your check.

yayyyyy

Maybe.

Maybe marauding protesters should stop invading communities and subjecting residents to fear and emotional anguish.
There oughta be a law.
Gated communities are private property.

[kiidcarter8]

Please, Barton.

Had the protesters simply been marching past, maybe that would have been fine - though in a private hood.

But clearly they were congregating outside the house.

They were going to protest at the mayor’s house.

Sure

And on the walk?

You asshole.

You want better schools across the board?

Stop funding public schools with property taxes.

But you really don’t care that public education is what drove the USA to the forefront of the world.


Amazing how unpatriotic are you and your ilk.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Great.

One can never have too many weapons.
