What they need to do is file a constitutional lawsuit against the court and get an injunction against the court proceeding or holding them in jail until the constitutional suit is resolved. Then after its found that 'bearing arms' means holding them in your hands, they can criminally prosecute the judge and arresting officers.

For what? Because people were walking by their house? No one did anything to them. These idiots were waving guns around and pointing them at people for nothing.

Doesn't matter. If I want to hold a gun in my yard. Its completely legal according to the 2nd amendment. Any lawsuit that would be brought can be countered with a constitutional lawsuit against the judge and DA. In fact you could bring a criminal charge against the DA for charging you with anything.

They waved their guns at each other with their finger on the trigger- first5 mins of hunter safety course would have helped these dumbass people.
If a grand jury of their peers found them indictable- sure lets go against the law

A grand jury also concluded that Breonna Taylor’s death was the result of justified actions. And since you’re consistent, you have no problem with that, right?

There is a legal concept called disparity of force. They were confronted by an angry mob and considerably outnumbered.
4 ups, 4y
The protesters broke a lock on a gate and entered private property. Street was private property, not a public thorofare. Disparity of force existed. It’s like that mob in Oregon that pulled the guy out of his pick up truck and beat the crap out of him.. If he had been armed he would’ve been justified in defending himself with it.

They did threaten to burn down their home.

Legal Docs: St. Louis Prosecutor Tampered With Evidence In McCloskey Gun Case

By Tristan Justice
The gun Patricia McCloskey waved at a mob surrounding her home last month was inoperable at the time, but the St. Louis prosecutor’s office ordered the city’s crime lab to re-assemble it into working order after confiscating the firearm, according to a local Missouri TV station reporting Wednesday.

Missouri law requires the government to prove firearms be “readily” capable of fatal harm in order to score a conviction based on the charges filed against McCloskey and her husband this week for their attempt to use legal weapons to deter rioters from their home.

They did no harm to anyone and belonged there as it is their home. The "protesters" did not and broke a gate to a private community. The husband & wife were verbally threatened, had every right to protect themselves and their property and the guns were legally owned.

Octavia, put yourself in that situation. These "protesters" scared & intimidated the homeowners and even threatened to do something to their dog. Having seen what utter destruction to businesses had been done recently, these folks reacted reasonably.

Octavia,
1. homeowners GOOD
2. loud, obnoxious, 'threatening to do harm' trespassers BAD

It is just that simple. Why do you most always side with the disruptive criminal type element?

I do not think that is accurate. Octavia has learned some things that are not necessarily in line with our thinking, but he does think. And thinking is a path to truth.

All of a sudden you're antigun? Seen you talking about defending yourself and your property with your own gun.

It's not illegal to defend your home from a mob. Who was the victim in this 'crime'?

No one damaged property, they didn't get hurt and neither did the protesters. Sounds like it turned out well. Yet now murderers are being released from jail cuz covid.

Does that include trespassers who break down fences to get into private property? Does it include people who destroy businesses, set fires, block traffic, harm others, terrorize & threaten people minding their own business in their own homes, and so on? Or, should they be bailed out of jail to do unto others AGAIN while prosecutors are hired to support the criminal element? You brought up common sense, Octavia...

So..........how come these "protesters" are not held to the same standard? Soros hates America and is behind the funding to support and then to release these low-lifes as well as influence the prosecutor. But you and the other leftists on here are hell bent on supporting Anti-fa and BLM to the detriment of our country.

Your minds are ass-backwards and refuse FACTS while supporting the destruction of America. Democrats have been taking a wrecking ball to our cities and calling for police to be defunded. Since that seems ok with you, I question your mental soundness.
2 ups, 4y
They called police, they didn't come.
Could they have stayed inside? Yes. Could they have better muzzle control? Yes.
What more could they have done, Octavia? Is it a crime now to defend yourself and home?
3 ups, 4y
They actually did.
3 ups, 4y
If that “angry stuff” is a threat of violence, yes, you can.

Stan, that comment (with Octavia agreeing) actually has made me lose brain cells due to the completely unfounded & ridiculous nature of it. You two pretend that you and your spouse are enjoying friends and a belligerent crowd breaks a fence/invades your private neighborhood while threatening your home and family. When it initially happened, I immediately could see myself and my husband doing exactly what these people did (while being ever grateful to still enjoy our Second Amendment rights). You, on the other have identified with the perps and I guess that tells us all we need to know...

Stan was not being sarcastic...his stance is that the homeowners were pussies. NOT true. When you concurred with "Very true", Octavia, you established that you both interpreted the situation to reflect badly on the couple and not the gosh darn "PROTESTERS".

1. I don't trespass into private communities with a group of loud & brash individuals.
2. I don't threaten others. Ever.
3. Octavia, you may accept and even interact with others of questionable integrity/character;
I do not, so your hypothetical scenario holds no water....

YES, I do support the innocent homeowners on their own property who were not bothering a soul.The CIRCUMSTANCES support our Second Amendment rights along with the castle doctrine. Case closed.
1 up, 4y
Not at all. Thry would be lying on the ground in a pool of blood guts and most likely brain matter.

If you threaten me on my property, i will command you to leave. If you are an individual, that is most likely all.

If you are a Mob threatening me and you refuse to leave and threaten to burn down my house and kill my dog, I am justified in threatening deadly force and if you advance I will shoot the learers dead.

Indiana has No duty to retreat.

Missouri Self-Defense Laws
Created by FindLaw's team of legal writers and editors | Last updated July 01, 2020

If a person is under attack and in fear for their life, they have the right to use force to protect themselves. Every state has self-defense laws that detail the circumstances under which an individual can use self-defense (and the limits of the force that may be used) to justify their conduct without being convicted of a crime.

About half of the states have some version of "stand your ground" laws. These laws don't require people to back down from an attacker even when withdrawal is possible. A common variation on this concept is the "castle doctrine" which allows individuals to defend themselves against threats in and to their homes (expanded in some states to include cars and/or workplaces) without the duty to retreat.

Missouri Castle Doctrine
Missouri recognizes the "castle doctrine" and allows residents to use force against intruders, without the duty to retreat, based on the notion that your home is your "castle." This legal doctrine assumes that if an invader disrupts the sanctity of your home, they intend to do you harm and therefore you should be able to repel their advances.

Missouri's law is more extensive than the law in other states because it permits property owners to use the amount of force reasonably perceived as necessary, including deadly force.

Because the prosecutor put made a non operational gun operational again. In the end, the prosecutor will be charged with tampering.

the gun had been rendered inoperative years earlier in order to be used in a court trial. Thr DA's office confiscated it and had it made operable. They tampered with evidence.

Correct, Tom, and I read a similar account of what happened.
