Vigilante residents wield their rifles as they block their street in Florida to guard against looters

A group of residents including children held rifles and other weapons as they blocked their road to 'guard it from looters'.

Footage of the group, who were standing next to their cars to block the street, was posted on website LiveLeak and appears to have been filmed in Belleview, Florida.

The residents were allegedly guarding their street to stop looters after stores in many parts of the country were raided during nationwide unrest caused by the death of black man George Floyd.

The video of the guarding residents was filmed by a family in a passing car.

They are seen driving past them before using a roundabout to drive back the other way.

The group, who number at least 12, are standing next to their cars and some are holding rifles.

One man is wearing a military-style helmet, combat boots and pants and is holding a rifle.

As the family pass the residents, an older woman in the car says, 'he has a gun in the black shirt' as she refers to the man in the helmet.

A girl in the car then adds: 'This is in Belleview.'

How about “Armed residents prepare to defend their lives and property against criminal activity!”

The idea that Americans can defend their homes is so unknown to the English.

So guarding access to your neighborhood makes you a vigilante??? And attacks and looting of businesses is now called raiding?? This must be new speak by a bunch of aliens from another planet.

Those are not vigilantes, they are AMERICAN PATRIOTS refusing to bend a knee to the leftists who want to dominate them.

So what?

I believe, with 67 years witness, that idiots who wish to act badly, over an incident in a non-adjoining state, deserve whatever befalls them, since the incident was none o’ d’ey biznis!

Apparently the British don’t know what the word “vigilante” means.

Nope. “Vigilantes” as in racist, armed, and irresponsible citizens who should stand down and wait for the police to respond.

These are American citizens exercising their 2nd amendment rights. This is why the left wants to disarm us.

Rioting thugs beating people with 2x4s is “peaceful protest?”

Honest citizens protecting their life and property from rioting thugs is criminal activity?

Be polite, be professional, but always have a plan to shoot, shovel and shut up every rioting thug you meet.

Gee, bias?

The homeowners were “allegedly’ protecting their property

Yet the looters et well, they were just reacting to Georgie’s dying

Perhaps the Daily Mail would like to place a bet on the respective motivations?

Yep. About a 2 MOA dot at 100 yards.

Anybody who can’t decipher the above is totally unprepared for what is coming.

Sometimes it do, sometimes it don’t. I’ve been there, done that and still got hammered because someone else posted the same thing earlier. But apparently in secret. :-) I know, key words etc.
