Don't recall him pointing it at them with his finger on the trigger. I saw her waving the pistol around but did not see what you are claiming. He claims that one or more of the mob members aimed guns at them.

Kind of like if you were walking down the street and saw someone breaking into a random furniture store. That's someone else's private property. But you're free to shoot them according to the posts here.
Exhibit One for the proposition that you should not be taking legal advice from the TDPT mob.

Apparently Missouri's duty to retreat (cited above) is much narrower than in most states, but I am not aware of ANY state in which the actions you describe would constitute a valid defense in the inevitable prosecution which would arise from the hypothetical shooting that you describe.

They make their living as lawyers. And they defend civil rights issues and protestors. They understood completely.

Just some peaceful protesters who were peacefully marching to the mayor's house. These homeowners had no right to believe they were in danger!!

Violent Assault? Did I miss something?
In many states (including Texas), the THREAT of imminent bodily harm constitutes a justiciable "assault."

You would have to ask a Missouri attorney about the statute in that state.

And no one suggested that you can shoot someone robbing another’s furniture store.

You two would make a great couple though.

Faggie just wants these people to pay for not prostrating themselves to the mob. It's hilarious how he claims to be a libertarian yet sides with the progressive Hitler youth every time.

They legally did nothing wrong, but they’re ignorant dangerous gun owners. In 2020 there’s no excuse for that. You can learn basic rudimentary gun safety from Google and YouTube . And if you own a gun you should absolutely understand how dangerous of a tool it can be and how to properly use and care for it.


Correct. I think you have two people who own guns just out of necessity. They've probably believed they would never have to use them. Frankly, this could have been worse if one of them had inadvertently fired off a round. The couple was obviously frightened and lacked proper practice and training which magnified their poor gun handling.

It can take him four or five pages to get there. But he ends up on the progressive/authoritarian side of the argument probably 90% of the time.

It's because people like him think they're the arbiter of all issues. The smarmy faux intellectualism these people possess lead them to those inevitable conclusions. In his mind he's the alpha and the omega.

That’s what leftists do. Choose a name that has nothing to do with their beliefs and hide behind the name regardless of actions.

Pointing a gun at someone is almost the definition of armed assault, in likely every state.


Hank, to be clear, I was being sarcastic in my earlier post. I think people don't realize the nuance in that the street is private property, and these folks are trespassing, but without detailed knowledge of MO law, use of the castle doctrine is pretty murky in this case. May end up being moot if they took a single step on the lawn, or if verbal threats were made. Regardless, a lot of fact-finding necessary.

People were wrong to trespass. People were wrong to destroy/damage property. Pointing weapons at those people may still not be legally defensible.

In fairness, he would probably take the opposite position on a more liberal board.

But that also may be a sign of a mental pathology.
