'Keep moving!' Couple brandish an AR-15 and a handgun at protesters

You mean exactly the way they haven't done twice now already?

Based on the last couple of weeks, one word comes to mind: yet.

Yep. While I'd be in no rush to go outside and confront the crowd...I'd also be reluctant to place my faith in the better angels of their nature.

They don't seem to be great supporters of the 1st Amendment for those whose views don't fall into line with theirs. Bill of Rights? What Bill of Rights?

If the past two months have shown us anything, it's that appeasing the mob works...

And encourages more of it.

That's how I read it. Sad, really.

Wasn't there a video of a group of non-diverse partiers, drinking and whooping it up in encouragement from a second story window as the protest march walked by, only to be pelted with window-breaking rocks? Seems like I recall them verbalizing confusion as to "why were we targeted, we support your movement." Same here I reckon.

Here tis.

"We're on your fucking side!?"

They literally can't figure it out.

The protestors were trespassing on private property, and broke through a metal gate to get onto the private property

There is no private property anymore comrade.

I look forward to an end to the obeisance and kowtowing.

Considering that there's video footage of them walking through an open, unbroken gate, the chronology of when the gate was broken and who broke it remains in question.

We should wait until all the facts are in.

That's not only for the cops, right?

Well, in my state I can’t use deadly force to protect property, and I can go to jail for brandishing. Not walking out at all seems like a better plan.

A showdown on the lawn invites a classic noncompliance “then what?” situation.

“Get off my lawn!”

Intruder makes no threat, but takes a step toward you.

Then what?

After some thought about the male homeowners position, both professionally and literally, I'm betting he knew exactly how the local law read. It did not appear that ANY of the angry mob was interested in tempting fate by moving in on him or his wife.
Putting the pink polo/Karen memes aside, at no time did the couple look like they were going to be victims of an angry mob that day. Refreshing to see some backbone these days.

There's the Dane.

There's the Danegeld.

Didn't work that well then either.
