Owners protecting their property
Posted on 06/29/2020 6:16:31 AM PDT by Candor7
Coming soon to a home near you. A Missouri mob of looters/protestors was very lucky not to be legally shot as a well-armed couple defend their home from the mob that broke through their perimeter gate. Video shows the armed couple facing down the mob.
The important aspect is here the mob was not on a public street; the mob represented a clear threat; and Missouri has strong Castle Doctrine laws that do not require a duty of the homeowner to retreat from the threat. This mob was very fortunate the couple were well disciplined in their use of firearms. Once the mob broke through the gate, they were effectively in the justifiable kill zone.
Missouri’s law is more extensive than those of other states because it allows you to use deadly force to attack an intruder to protect any private property that you own, in addition to yourself or another individual. This means that if someone illegally enters your front porch or backyard, you can use deadly force against them without retreating first. (link)

Video uploaded to Twitter shows the St. Louis mob unlawfully entering the private property of the homeowners. Both the gate and the driveway are clearly identified as private property. This is not public property.
This is also a powder-keg issue and if local and state officials do not take action it is only a matter of time before these types of events lead to shooting. This is also why the DOJ needs to step-in quickly and begin making arrests of the anarchists and provocateurs who are violating laws and threatening ordinary citizens.
The Democrats are perfectly comfortable stoking the national anxiety and putting a few of their easily led sheep into the kill zone to accomplish their political objectives.

Is Black Rifle in your cup!
They said the protesters were unarmed, but clearly the guy in the foreground is holding a weapon.
What is the law when an armed person intrudes onto your property?
Just imagine what that looks like to people coming to FR site for the first time.
Or liberal trolls that come here and read that.
Good idea!

And if only President Trump wouldn't tweet so much!
Right. He was just holding it and she was pointing it at the ‘peaceful mob’ ...
I live in an upscale private airport community.
4 days ago a carload of BLM clowns came rolling in to scout for a place to raise hell.
One of the residents here stopped them with a loaded shotgun and told them they were trespassing and to leave immediately or two things would happen: He’d call the sheriff who is no liberal jive ass punk and he’d also get a local posse to help them on their way.
They left and thus far have not returned.
I am a little disappointed as we are all heavily armed here and my neighbor has a SAW I’d sure like to see how effective is.

As Mr. Rogers said, “Its a wonderful day in the neighborhood!”
You are correct. They all seem cut out of the same cloth. All have the same goals.
Blm has stated they can go where they want to go and do whatever they want. It appears in cities that's the case but not here. Heck news today just said the county is setting up two places where people can sign up for carry.
BTW You know when the wealthy stand armed in front of their mansions this is serious business out there.
Man i want to see him use that
Randy is a wild old man.
Use to be a private pilot for the Saudi royals.

Owners protecting their property
Much of the online right self-righteously posted comments like this.
DISGUSTING.
It was a real life situation, they defended their lives and property using their God-given right to protect themselves and property with arms, and people who SUPPORT these things slammed and smeared them up one side and down the other for their clothing, their stance, the way they handled the weapons they were bearing.
SCREW ALL OF YOU.
Hardly. The young lady had her finger on the trigger, and was waving the muzzle. A flinch away from a murder charge. Though as attorneys that wouldn't have the same financial repercussions. Both of them appear to be unaware of cover. Their assumption that they were the only armed individuals could end badly. But their house is still there, which wasn't the mob's intent if they broke through a gate. I say if only because many sources claim the mob was in the street, marching.
Attorney and home owner Mark McCloskey spoke to CBS 5 in St. Louis on Monday and explained his side of the incident, asserting that the crowd was anything but peaceful.
” A mob of at least 100 smashed through the historic wrought iron gates of Portland Place, destroying them, rushed towards my home where my family was having dinner outside and put us in fear of our lives,” McCloskey told the outlet.
“This is all private property. There are no public sidewalks or public streets. We were told that we would be killed, our home burned and our dog killed. We were all alone facing an angry mob.”
McCloskey said he spotted people in the crowd with the guns. He said that’s when they decided to get his own gun.”
If you were including me, it was sarcasm. I am glad to see people are defending themselves. Hopefully there wont be any legal repercussions.
SCREW ALL OF YOU.
Lighten up. Dont be a Cartman.
Exactly, their home should be taken away and be made into a park so the masses can enjoy the birds and trees. Isn't that what looters are looking for. :>)
I'm thinking rather than moving in 14 families this dacha, sorry, capitalist's house, would be home to a second or third level official.
