EMINENCE, Mo. -- Crowds have gathered in Eminence, Missouri as a protest is expected Saturday afternoon in Shannon County.
A protest was planned in response to a death investigation dating back to 2018. A local family is concerned with how the case has been handled by the Shannon County Sheriff's Office.
The Shannon County Sheriff says credible threats were made against him, his deputies and jail staff, including threats to harm and threats to damage the courthouse and other buildings.
The sheriff says he reached out to state defense forces ahead of Saturday. The Shannon County Sheriff's Office includes the sheriff and only three other deputies, so some crowds have stationed in support of the staff.
At least 100 people have gathered in downtown Eminence around the Shannon County Courthouse and surrounding areas. KY3 observed some people carrying weapons around the area.
We will update as more details become available.
I dont know what that case was about, but they assembled an awesome display of firepower.
They look pretty peaceful
What’s the background on this killing?
Getting close to a one on one with the population who have had enough
I don’t even remember this incident, but it involves the death of a 20 y/o man found dead in Jack’s Fork River. There was question whether it was accidental or if foul play was involved.
Come and join the party dressed to kill.
Population against the Cops?
Or Antifa?
Since when is carrying a weapon a newsworthy item in a story?
My Grandparents were born near Mountain Grove and Dawson.
Sounds like the Democrats are back to lynching people.
It's the population rallying around an outnumbered sheriff, it appears.
I used to mishear the lyrics “eminence front” as “living in funk”.
The family sending threats mentioned burning down the courthouse and locals who went on camera were concerned outsiders were coming in to contribute to the party, I dont know if they meant Antifa or StL people or what.
Nice...
Sounds like Soros’s fingerprints are all over this.
Open carry has been legal in Ohio forever but I have only seen anyone do it once in my 50+ years.
Having lots of people do it in one place in expectation of trouble is news worthy in my book.
Considering that the ANTIFA Left is basically try to provoke a civil war, I think it is news worthy.
Considering that a gun store owner I know says that Lefties are now buying guns, I think it is news worthy.
Judging from the pics, those don’t look like Soros Soy Boys
And, no masks
The neverending Story.Keep it hot.
Reading the article it reads that some have come to protect the town/Sheriff.
Maybe those are the ones armed with no masks?
There is no opposition there now - those are all the defenders who came out to protect the courthouse and sheriff.
They were still worried some troublemakers may show up after dark.
Now that would be Soros-style.
