again - nothing to do with the fact that you have zero idea of the intention of the crowd.chargesthat you have zero clue as to whether or not a "large crowd" moving towards you means you no harm GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES of st louis at the time this was done - large crowds were in fact destroying everything in their path.you don't walk down the street in a huge crowd.you seem to be avoiding a pretty simple question.So, it probably was NOT clear to the couple that the mob meant them no harm. Hindsight from a distance is usually a lot clearer than immediate reaction in the moment. Do you think the outcome would have been different had members of the mob quietly told the couple that they were only interested in storming the Mayor's house and not their's instead of shouting at them? Obviously, this couple was scared. They had been seeing the violence directed at people like them, and they had a mob entering their private property with (likely) unknown intentions. Don't we all agree it's incumbent on the mob to at least make sure the people who own the property they are trespassing on know they are not in danger, and to leave quietly if the property owners tell them to?Did they also notify this couple of the same?They were clear? How?So if someone down the street from you was killed in mob violence recently and now, you have mob violence at your door, you gonna risk this is a nice mob that tore down your gate?I don't see how she can get a conviction. They may have been way overly paranoid but that isn't illegal.
Those marching to the mayor's house were clear they meant no one harm. As I noted though, you can legally stand outside your house with a gun.
They let the neighbors know they were not interested in bothering them.
No idea if they were specifically told or not.
Do you have a point?
he spelled it out clearly - HOW DID YOU KNOW THEY MEANT NO ONE HARM???
you can either answer it or you can play dodgeball and that answers it for you.
As you walk down a street on any given day, how do you know this about anyone? Now, what is the point?
huge crowds have been destroying shit around these people for several days
so you are playing dodgeball and not putting yourself in their situation - just sitting in a distant judgement and playing the fool.
or not playing. either is fine.
Why not make a point? What exactly are you arguing?
now - you're at home watching TV and you see huge crowds lighting shit on fire and beating up people for no reason at all you can tell. THEN you see a huge crowd coming your way. SAID huge crowd rips down the gate to your property.
what do you do? serve cookies and cheer them on like a parade
or
protect you and your family?
I'm confused. I said in my very first post that I did not think the charges would stick and hugely paranoid or not they could do what they did.
So again, what are you arguing with me over?
never
should
have
been
filed
it's a political game from a marxist. that's all.
but your stance of THEY MEANT NO ONE HARM - you have zero way of knowing that. ZERO.
and it's akin to teaching helen keller to hear to get you to listen.
Let's see. They peacefully turn themselves in or get arrested and then fight it in the courts. Right?
A person has no idea about anyone. You simply for some reason want to argue an irrelevant point. Whatever.
