No
More proof that a rogue DA is your worst enemy to your freedom.
Nothing rogue about that DA. She is mainline Democrat party all the way. The only question is if we have a political party to oppose their domestic terrorism. Apparently, not.
Apparently yes. That’s the problem: while the mob is implicitly absolved of their vandalism, trespassing, & threats, the couple will be held to high standards of what constitutes “assault” - which includes pointing a gun at others indiscriminately.
Couple will have to demonstrate a legal threat to themselves, for which the entire mob is culpable for and thus subject to legal “assault” to wit self defense in the form of direct threat of deadly force a la pointing guns.
The white antifa punks threatened to kill the couple, their dog, and live in their house.
They should have opened fire on the Hitler Youth.
Little kimmy would look good down at Uncle Benito’s Esso station...
“Assault”
Attorney Kim Gardner is scum.
If a percentage of the people change their minds in marxist areas then that territory will be returned to the USA.
I’m still trying to figure out how the couple thought they’d have any chance, living inside St. Louis city limits and then displaying weapons. They should have picked one or the other. Idiots.
WFT is “fourth-degree assault” - spitting?
Show trial.
Too bad “fourth-degree assault” isn’t enforced uniformly. Lots of snowflakes would be accumulating legal fees if so.
Yes.
Clarification: self defense in the form of situational assault has always been a felony, subject to exemptions.
I.E.: if you shoot someone in self defense, you’re indicted for [attempted] homicide until presenting a positive defense to wit “that’s normally illegal, but explicitly legal in this specific circumstance.”
It’s a private road, co-owned by all the property owners. The Antifas were trespassing ON their private property, which the Antifas broke the fence to get into, which makes it breaking and entering.
It would be interesting to see the details of how ownership of the private road is divided. If the home owners are responsible for the section of street in front of their house, then they own it.
Class D felony punishable by up to four years in prison and a $5000 fine. For these two, probation and fine if convicted.
Crocodile Dundee: "That's not a felony. THIS is a felony!"
A pardon doesn’t stop anyone else from being charged in a similar situation.
Letting the courts reject it, does. Or at least helps.
And it depends on the specifics.
If the protestors were just marching down a public street peacefully (doubtful) and this coupple went out into the streat pointing guns at people to intimidate them, then that’s probably a legitimate assault charge.
But if the protestors were vandalizing stuff (likely) and this couple showed their weapons to protect their property, then I think that’s a constitutional right to own and bear arms.
Time to give Leo Terrell a call!
Maybe it’s time for 250,000 armed citizens to show up at the DA’s office?
Asking for a friend.
