The protesters marching through St. Louis on Sunday evening were armed only with posters and chants, all meant to put pressure on Mayor Lyda Krewson to redirect city funds away from law enforcement.

But as the peaceful crowd of about 500 walked along a private, gated street, a white couple who emerged from a marble mansion had something else in mind.

Around 6 p.m. Sunday, a barefoot man in a pink collared shirt walked out from the five-story house, carrying a semiautomatic rifle as he appeared to threaten the group. A few feet away, a woman pointed a pistol at the crowd, her finger directly on the trigger.


How the incident is being reported in the liberal West Coast media

HE threatened the GROUP? haha The MSM nuts do not see the problem here. The homeowner was outnumbered, he would have been attacked and hurt if not for that gun.

When informed that they are on private property, “peaceful protesters” leave. Do you see the difference?

They were asking for the mayor to resign in front of the not-mayor’s house? After peacefully breaking and entering into the area of course.

Maybe the only reason they were “peaceful” is that there were guns trained on them.

Here is a little different take on the incident with the peaceful PROtestors. Oh and the woman does ‘OMG’ have her finger ‘directly on the trigger’.

Yes, the couple peacefully pointed guns at the peaceful protesters which is why the protesters remained peaceful.

The woman also points the gun at her husband as she is pointing it around. It is a little semi-auto that looks -380 sized. Her husband has a rifle that looks like an AR-15 and also looks to have little muzzle discipline. Did not notice if he had his finger on the trigger.

Couldn’t they just shoot a 12 gauge into the air?

No he gave the group something to think about. Missouri folks respect the law and will defend life and property.🇺🇸

Decent Americans stand with people who have the guts to protect their families and property from the mob. Serious people ignore the media.

Not the best weapons handling I’ve seen.

The homeowners could use some training on safe handling but in the moment, I suspect they were effective in what the goal was - protecting life and property.

It’s worth noting the only reason they were outside in defense was their property’s gate had been breached and the thugs were looking for easy pickings. One thrown stone and a purposeful discharge would be in order under the laws in MO.

Good for them they exercised restraint. I’m just not sure why they didn’t choose to present from behind solid cover. Shoot and move.

Saw a picture where he did not have his finger on the trigger. He is left handed too. Given their obvious inexperience I would not want to be standing nearby when a hot ejected brass goes down his shirt.

More reason to not trust MSM reporting.
