[quote:Anonymous Coward 73671174:MV80NDQwNTAzXzgwODM0MDM5XzJCQThDOTQ4] [quote:Close_with&destroy:MV80NDQwNTAzXzgwODMyOTk1X0YyNEIwOUJB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79046491:MV80NDQwNTAzXzgwODMyODgwXzlBRjhBNjQz] [quote:Close_with&destroy:MV80NDQwNTAzXzc2M0U3M0Q2] 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. https://twitter.com/xshularx/status/1277398234055483393 [/quote] so what whether or not YOU agree with "their tactics". are they supposed to roll over and play dead ? be nice to trespassing POS that have a well documented history on what FOLLOWS these walk-a thons ? the trespassers got the message loud and clear and left. [/quote] Whoa! Easy. You misunderstand me. I think I was pretty clear when I said it was obvious they weren't going to be intimidated. Evidently I wasn't, so let me lay it out for you. She was a complete idiot by leaving cover and exposing herself to a possible overwhelming attack by multiple assailants. The husband was waving his rifle around while also being exposed. Neither had spare magazines or body armor. At a minimum, they should have had positions of cover, spare ammo, interlocking fields of fire and the ability to retreat to better positions. So, yes, their tactics SUCKED ASS. They could have easily been overpowered, their weapons taken and could have been added to the body count. One can defend their property and lives without being complete DUMBASSES about it. I hope that clears things up for you. [/quote] You're absolutely correct. . [/quote]

***ETA***Yes, they had every right to defend their property and persons, however, they should have been much smarter in how they did it.
