Of course we’re talking about the St. Louis couple who brandished firearms at “peaceful protesters” who knocked down a gate and marched through their private property. Plenty of lefties can’t believe that they haven’t been arrested yet for pointing guns at people, but as The Federalist reports, left-wing think tank president Jerry Taylor wouldn’t have waited for the police. In a now-deleted tweet, he says he would have rushed the couple, beaten their brains in, and not apologized either.

November 4 is coming. Hopefully, his brains are the first to be shared with the environment.

"... says he would have rushed the couple, beaten their brains in, and not apologized either."

He's not a libertarian. He's just another run-of-the-mill, frothing mad leftist kook.

[an amused spectator]

He identifies as a Libertarian

You misspelled "Losertarian"...

[Pikachu_Dad]

PITLA’s are usually lefties !

The homeowners look like scared amateurs. So yeah, rush them.

You are right. If you look at her it wouldn't have taken much for her to pull the trigger. You can see one of the protesters waving everyone back and to get on the street. I bet that guy saw it in her eyes.

Be kinda hard to do that with seven or so 55 gr. chunks of lead in one’s chest cavity.

I think they were Actors, and this was all organized by BLM to send a message.

I’m sure their nice check from the DNC is in the mail.

I have mixed views on this, right after these two stood up to protect themselves they just lost me totally when they said we support BLM. Good beat their heads in.

Here’s the list of Niskanen Center’s “people”, have at it.

Disappointed to see Linda Chavez associated with them...she used to be a contender back in the 1990s.

He’s not a libertarian

Libertarian is a very elastic term. I’ve heard people from across the spectrum call themselves libertarian

[Mase]

Feel free to send Jerry a note telling him what a clown he is.

“Who does he think he is? Chuck Norris? :-)”

Looks more like Cuck Norris.

[GulfMan]

He’s going to get his someday, violent people die by violence

[Tacticalman]

Libertarian is the handmaiden of the left.

They are nothing but Marxists who don't like taxes.

[JimRed]

I would think that a call from a gated community filled with very rich people would get instant response from the police.

Not if they've been ordered to stand down to either enable or prevent looting and arson.

A mouth can say anything, that doesn’t necessarily make it so. Of course we all know this cheese dick would never do anything of the sort. But nice try tough guy.

Ahmaud Arbery tried that strategy. It doesn’t have a good track record.

Bookmark the wikipedia page for the Tueller Drill here:

Better yet, email it to yourself. If you use a server-based email provider like gmail, hotmail, etc, then your email provides a legally defensible record of WHEN you learned of the Tueller drill

"Taylor is a product of the CATO Institute. What is it with Libertarians? These people were defending their personal property, which would seem to be something Libertarians would endorse. They didn’t first expect government to defend them and their home"

He doesn't speak for this libertarian. His comment is simply immature for a man of his age. The internet encourages keyboard commandos due to no actual consequences that would normally occur if the writer were in front of his subject.

I agree with you that these people were protecting themselves on their property without any assistance from the government, and that is laudable. I'm prepared to the same.

I have posted before on this subject- be sure your weapon ( AR or shotgun) has a bayonet on it....and you have taken steps in performing bayonet training. Adding the bayonet lug to your shotgun costs, but really , really makes a statement ....yes, I am ex 82nd, been in a few places where a fixed bayonet scared the hell out of mobs.
