>> I’m surprised the local prosecutor isn’t drawing up charges against the defenders now.<<

If you are talking about that famous couple, their guns were confiscated and felony charges have been filed.

No, I was referring to the Seattle defenders. Don’t know the current status of the St. Louis couple. MO Atty. Gen’l has said he’s dropping charges, but don’t know if it’s in effect or not.

Ah yes. Too many of these things going on these days to keep track. I need a map with colored pins.

Likely they'll never get their guns back

Carmen looks so stressed lately. Wondering if she could use a nice hot bath and a full body massage. I think I will send an email. Probably not a good idea to stop by her house.

And if they weren’t met with guns..? Just walking peacefully with signs, chanting a bit, and cleaning up when they leave?

I’m sooooo tired of lefties being aggressive a-holes and, then, acting like victims when someone fights back/stands up for themselves.

this is precious- thugs/criminals, complaining that they met resistance, and didn’t get to intimidate someone-

Stompy foot rioters, throwing a fit- whining about not being allowed to intimidate people-

Cry us a river- maybe all the men in the group can sit down and knit new pink hats as therapy-

“All we were doing was walking and they met us with guns, I don’t know who the aggressor is at that point, but I don’t think it’s us...”

Maybe they’ve noticed how your “walks” end up.

That might be a good nickname for these groups. Walkers. Although the zombies on ‘The Walking Dead’ have better manners and are less destructive.

Agreed.

From the article, Snohomish County Sheriff Fortnoy also said it well:

Fortney added that the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office has been “supportive and accommodating” to all peaceful demonstrations, but said protesters targeting an individual’s home is a “bullying tactic.”

“If this group or any other group wants to protest the government, we would ask they do so at a government building and not at any individual’s private residence,” he wrote.

I don’t see what the problem is. “Protest” at my house and you will be met with guns also. That seems normal to me.

She probably has her main home in Snohomish County and a condo in Seattle so she will be close to work to try to quell the rioters.

Yes. And I meant to say a normal City Council would have told them that.

Good for the Sheriff’s Office!

The time is described as late at night.
Nobody is going to be “asking me questions” after dark, I can guarantee that.

I think harassment and intimidation (protests) at one’s home should be a crime.
