It is a sad and dangerous misstep to wish for violence especially in this climate. I was told by an old Iraqi man once that "every Iraqi you guys kill turns three families against you." He was right. War is already horrifically violent and deeply obscene. But civil wars tend to get more than personal and exceptionally brutal. Be careful what you put out into the universe. Thoughts become things.

Original Message
While I don't necessarily agree with their tactics, which were inappropriate and tactically unsound, I think the message is clear that these homeowners aren't going to be easily intimidated. Interesting fact: The neighborhood the protestors are in is private property, including the streets. It's a very wealthy subdivision just north of Forest Park, on the west side of Kingshighway.
***ETA***Yes, they had every right to defend their property and persons, however, they should have been much smarter in how they did it.
