A St. Louis prosecutor is investigating whether the white couple pointing guns at Black Lives Matter

You are joking right?

 

She looked like she was trying out for a high school play called Bonnie and Clyde.

 

But not consistently. The gebonees pointed at each other at times.
Seriously those two acted more like Dumb and Dumber not Bonnie and Clyde.

 

I read it in a few of the reports that the gate was broken by the protesters so yes "they" did tell us that protesters broke the gate.

Oh I forgot are you must be of the " media bad Trump good gang?

 

As it is a castle doctrine state they were well within their rights.

 

They would have had way too much difficulty proving that Their home was actually breached as in an intrusion. Being attorneys they may have tried to argue that the gated community in itself is their home or "castle" hense the protesters intruded into their "home".

I would check to see their HOA documents to see if their association has a defined EUA or EUZ Exclusive Use Area or Zone. If the protesters crossed from the road into the EUA then an intrusion could be argued for. The road in Condo and Associations is a Common Area and not a personal EUA. Arguing the Castle doctrine in this case could be tricky.
Maybe it was better that the couple did not shoot.

 

See my post #31 please.

 

Weapons not loaded?

 

The OP's didn't. Nice anise comment btw

 

The OP seemed to focus the race of Bonnie and Clyde.

 

And?

 

AND or should I say SO

 

ROFLMAO.

 

ONLY racist bigots have 6ft wooden fences separating themselves from the downtrodden and oppressed. Where's your humanity and compassion for those who only want to take what you have?

 

OK, so?

 

As is my post #40.

OK, so?

 

ALWAYS better NOT to shoot, if the situation allows.

 

Out of sight, out of mind...

Stigma Appropriation

 

Attempted murder? What are your facts of the case? A couple standing 30’ behind their property line with guns that are getting harassed and physically threatened with their life and arson? You would get laughed at in a court of law.

 

We welcome that day in North Phoenix. I know many of my neighbors are well equipped and well trained in firearm use. You never know who’s packing heat in AZ. Some estimates put AZ vehicles containing a firearm 35%. I know mine does.

Arizona gun laws operate at the state level and are very permissive. They allow any person who is at least 18 years old to open carry, and 21 years old or over to conceal carry a firearm without a permit.

 

Hilarious...

 

and legally they probably could have. a mob trespassing on your property and threatening to kill you and burn your house down is no joke.

 

They were brandishing, no doubt about it. The question will come down to whether the prosecutor thinks a jury can be convinced they had reason to do so or not. I heard the crowd had broken a gate to get into the community... if true, that will likely be enough cause to justify brandishing. If not, and the crowd wasn't witnessed acting in a threatenning manner, then the couple prolly have a tough legal fight on their hands.

If they'd just kept their weapons holstered, slung and/or pointed at the ground, they'd be in a much stronger legal position. But then again, they really didn't look like the type to take a few seconds to learn anything about self defense beyond simply having guns... he was holding that thing like a stormtrooper from starwars for chrissakes.

 

If any person in the Homeowner's Association showed any assent that the group were allowed to pass through, the "Castle Doctrine" would not apply at all.

As well as if the Homeowners Association or state law had some reason to pass by, Bonnie and Clyde would been up a creek too.

My several acres of land has several easments to allow entry to utilities or other homeowners to get to the edge of my land, even after I had it posted when I bought it.

Walk with care.

 

This reeks of white reactionaries who are worried their community is being invaded by... black people! And they got so scared of it they decided to be idiots with guns. Remember folks! This is what the average gun owner looks like when faced with having to use guns in self defense, and not as a tool for sexual abuse.
