St. Louis Homeowner Speaks Out After Confronting BLM Militants with Firearm, ‘The Only Thing That Stopped the Mob Was my Rifle’
American Digest ^ | 29 Jun 2020 | VANDERLEUN

Somebody forced the gate, and I stood up and announced that this is private property. Go back. I can’t remember in detail anymore. I went inside, I got a rifle. And when they … because as soon as I said this is private property, those words enraged the crowd. Horde, absolute horde came through the now smashed down gates coming right at the house. My house, my east patio was 40 feet from Portland Place Drive. And these people were right up in my face, scared to death. And then, I stood out there. The only thing we said is this is private property. Go back. Private property. Leave now.

At that point, everybody got enraged. There were people wearing body armor. One person pulled out some loaded pistol magazine and clicked them together and said that you were next.

Consider what you would have done if this was you.

Consider what you would do if this was your neighbor.

didn’t he also say he supports BLM? If so, I don’t care who does what to him.

Honestly, I'd probably do something similar.

We know old Biden would have let his double barrel go over their heads with warning shots. Wonder if the police would go after him?

It is a slow process, but I started actively inviting my closest neighbors to go to the range with me a few months back. Goal is to have a few trusted folks on the block who I know are capable of safe carry should a neighborhood watch have to be established.

I live in a small community on the edge of rural mountain country and about as far to the outer perimeter of the major city as you can get, a mix of suburb and rural countryside. The protestors and riots have been going on downtown in the city, but thats 35-40 miles away for the moment. There have been some street corner protests only about 10 miles away in the suburbs, but nothing violent yet.

As I have discussed with my neighbors, where we are things arent bad yet, but that can change quickly. I physically would not be able to stand watch 24/7 so I want to know we can cover each other and that when my neighbor straps on a rifle, its not the first time he has used it since sighting it in years ago.

I think the gentleman and his wife in St Louis are what I am trying to train out of my neighbors. That is gun owners who bought an gun or guns and then put them in the closet. FRiends, if you dont train with it at least once a month, it may not work like you expect when you need it, and it could even become a liability. Get to know your gun like you know your family. Practice shooting, practice reloads, practice clearly malfunctions, practice awareness. Put yourself under time pressure or other types of stress while practicing.

Stay safe.

Most democrats would rather have the White couple dead, and the street savages dancing around their corpses while they take whatever they want from the now defenseless house.

The left wants to take guns from non-violent individuals while leaving them in the hands of violent street savages.

They support Black Lies Matter as long as they are terrorizing and destroying someone else’s neighborhood. If someone in another neighborhood did the same thing, these people would probably denounce them as “racists”.

Don't judge him too hard. He lives in a Democrat run city with a leftist DA that is considering whether or not to prosecute him for some made up crime against the mob.

He's under a lot of pressure to sound like he's just a good guy caught in a bad situation. And because he lives in the same neighborhood as the mayor will probably dodge that bullet.

There was information floating about that he must be a leftist as he has donated much to BLM. I've since seen that it probably isn't true but was someone else with the same last name. Difficult to be sure what his political leanings are.

The old saw, that a conservative is just a liberal that has been mugged, might apply here. He has after all just been mugged, in a most enlightening way, by the mob.

It’s always different when they come for you and yours. Pay attention all you BLM/Antifa supporters. They’re coming for you and they don’t care who you are or what “good” deeds you’ve done in the past. Wake up!

A Democrat is just a Republican that hasn't been mugged yet. Looks like he and the wife are woke. 😆

Now back to work you BLM lover and supporter. He is a lawyer representing a black defendant against a police officer. Shows you how ridiculously stupid these pukes really are

Powerful testimony and thank you for another 2nd Amendment success story!

In the greater war from within against US, this doesn’t seem to be another random “drive by” act of terrorism by mob.

Maybe it was, but it’s definitely not random now.

While his life/lifestyle might not be like yours or mine, there are some common themes here for everyone.

He was just having dinner when something wicked and evil that way came ... and he never saw “it” coming.

But ... they were ready when “it” got there.

Lock and load!
