Rifle used by couple to stop democrat party terrorists confiscated....expect to see the protestors attack...

I posted: " Even IF the protesters were trespassing, trespassing is not a crime that means a person can use LETHAL force. "

Why do you want moderation in here?? Stop paging us for comment or --

we'll just weigh in as members...

Trespassing is NOT enough.. You have to have been given a THREAT to your safety or life.. And according to statements given BY the homeowners -- in the presence of their lawyer -- those verbal threats including killing them, burning the home, killing their dog and "breaking on entering" a posted private drive...

Sufficient enough for me... And clear enough mortal threats...

YOU of all members should RECOGNIZE a "specific mortal threat" since you are always finding them in posts on USMB.. How COME you can't take THESE threats as seriously as some hot wind you saw on the InterWebs??? Can't understand that... And NOBODY (yet) was injured or killed....

Why page moderators to a thread? Because if the wrong moderator sees the report first, nothing gets done and the other moderators don't want to step on the toes of the one that made the decision and nothing gets done about the rule being broken. At least if I page 4 or 5 of you to an obvious rule being broken then I know all of you saw it and it wasn't just cleared by one mod and ignored by the rest.

The owners were caught in a lie. They said they came out with their guns because they heard all these threats towards them. No, they did not... they came out with the guns from the very start before anyone could even threaten them. It's common sense. Just because no one got hurt THIS time doesn't make it okay to point a LOADED gun with your finger on the trigger at UNARMED citizens who are not even close to you to be an immediate threat. That would be like saying it is okay to drive drunk as long as you make it home and no one got killed in an accident. I know you don't agree with me on pretty much anything anymore, and I think you have become nothing but a conspiracy theorist that has lost all touch of reality that a scientist is supposed to have, but you aren't stupid and you know better than to make comments like that.

They did nothing wrong.,. Lane was CLEARLY posted as PRIVATE, not public... There's no "guard shack there", but at the ones I VISIT on private drives, the guards are armed... Can't fix stupid people from ignoring the privacy of others...

There WAS no use of "lethal force"..,. Producing a fire arm is not lethal force.. You just can't accept these RIGHTS as valid.. Which is YOUR problem, not mine..

If the lawyer/owner's last 10 civil rights cases were people of color and he;'s a HUGE lefty -- why were they so "triggered"??? Lots of questions you're not asking.. And lots of FACTS and THREATS that somehow you can just ignore..

YOU DONT KNOW what was yelled over the fences and hedges before the firearms appeared.. NO ONE (i believe) from the protest is PRESSING CHARGES of any kind.. And yet YOU are so SUPER agitated about this, that you can't give it up...

Go read about the 45 yr retired black St. Louis cop David Dorn, KILLED by rioters the week before this dust-up.. HE was a private citizen protecting a business in the same city... Did HE hesitate maybe TOO MUCH to do his job and protect his OWN LIFE??? Bigger tragedies to worry about here...

What is so hard for you to understand? There is a difference in CARRYING a gun for protection, and POINTING A LOADED gun at people with your finger on the trigger that are not an immediate threat of danger? Those are two different circumstances.

Not really.. You carry a gun for protection.. Kindof hard to holster an AR and the guy did NOT have his finger most of the time.. I was paying attention...

When DO YOU THINK they would have shot at anyone??? eh mr. "cant judge threats"??

Oh I dunno... when the women with her finger on the trigger advanced TOWARDS the crowd she was so threatened by?

BTW, you broke one of the site's own rules by discussing private message information publicly. But hey I guess you shouldn't have to be held accountable to the same rules as the rest of the members?
 
I cannot help it that you cannot understand the difference between describing if a crime rises to the level of deserving of lethal force, or when lethal force occurs. I worked for a state prison for 5 years including 3 and a half on an SRT team where we were very well trained in use of force policy, and the legal ramifications of it. You however have no clue what you are even talking about, and can't grasp a simple concept.
You have no training... Liar.

Edit: Thank you. In undergrad in my Constitutional law course and my other law course my professor William Nixon recommended me do it as well, but at my age I think I'm just going to finish my Master's degree and then have a tough decision of whether to get my doctorate or just teach high school or community college. At one point in life I really wanted to do contract law and then become a sports agent.

It's weird that you didn't say any of that. You fuck'n liar. Hypocrite. Bullshitter. I get off exposing people like you.

The hard thing to do with you are a liar.. Is remembering what you lied about...

Did you look at the date of that? I've since not only completed my BS in Criminal Justice with a minor in Police Studies... I've finished grad school as well. At this point you are just embarrassing yourself.
Have you figured in Missouri's Castle doctrine stand your ground and anyone with law enforcement experience knows protest can get out of hand and turn Violent? The Husband and wife were threatened and had every right to defend themselves and their property

Yes, because if you read the stories and the background of the couple, the land the protesters were on is 'community shared private property." It is NOT the private land of the couple, and in fact neighbors have complained about the couple due to them trying to claim part of the private community property as their's when it deed it isn't.

The McCloskey's didnt leave their property.
And the entire neighborhood is private.

They were the aggressors according to their own initial statements. How many times does it have to be posted? He said that they got their guns before anyone threatened them. Watch the video, the woman that is supposedly feeling threatened is walking TOWARDS the people on the road and sidewalk while pointing the gun at them.

The thugs were burning down businesses just blocks from their home and private neighborhood.
Why do you hate when democrats defend their own property?

They were? Do you have proof or do just assume any protester is guilty of all crimes in an area? You do realize that is the biggest reason this is all going on in the first place?

"Hey I saw a Black guy rob a grocery store!" "Oh I saw another Black guy a few blocks away, he probably did it."

Your argument still doesn't work, as I'll repeat again, the male homeowner said they got their guns BEFORE they were threatened. He made ZERO mention of being worried due to any fire blocks away from their home. You making up excuses for them isn't going to change what he said.


However in an interview with News 4 Monday, McCloskey said he and his wife grabbed their weapons as the crowd was walking toward their home, not after being threatened.

"Uh, the threats happened probably after we got the guns," he said.

Yeah.. That's truly the crazy thing. Sooner or later they are going to figure out that these people aren't on their side. Not really. I mean there are several people in here, this guy included... That is intelligent... But not smart. It's like they have the tools, but no clue how to use them. Fuck'n liars to boot.

Then you will ignore the criminal trespassing on private property?

Trespassing is NOT a crime that justifies lethal force. The homeowners should have called the police, and even if they came outside with their guns, they should NOT be pointing them at the crowd of people with their finger on the trigger.
Depending on the state it is a crime and if you have a castle doctrine state you can use deadly force if you feel threatened

Trespassing in North Carolina can be defined as simply entering the private property of a landowner or a legally permissible occupant, without their permission or by violating clearly posted signage stating no trespassing. ... Trespassing is classified as a Class 2 misdemeanor under N.C.G.S. 14-159.12.
§ 14-159.11. Definition. As used in this Article, "building" means any structure or part of a structure, other than a conveyance, enclosed so as to permit reasonable entry only through a door and roofed to protect it from the elements. (1987, c. 700, s. 1.) § 14-159.12. First degree trespass. (a) Offense. – A person commits the offense of first degree trespass if, without authorization, he enters or remains: (1) On premises of another so enclosed or secured as to demonstrate clearly an intent to keep out intruders; (2) In a building of another; or (3) On the lands of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians after the person has been excluded by a resolution passed by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indian Tribal Council. (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), (d), or (f) of this section, first degree trespass is a Class 2 misdemeanor. (c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this section, a violation of subsection (a) of this section is a Class A1 misdemeanor if all of the following circumstances exist: (1) The offense is committed on the premises of any of the following: a. A facility that is owned or operated by an electric power supplier as defined in G.S. 62-133.8(a)(3) and that is either an electric generation facility, a transmission substation, a transmission switching station, a transmission switching structure, or a control center used to manage transmission operations or electrical power generating at multiple plant locations. b. Any facility used or available for use in the collection, treatment, testing, storing, pumping, or distribution of water for a public water system. c. Any facility, including any liquefied natural gas storage facility or propane air facility, that is owned or operated by a natural gas local distribution company, natural gas pipeline carrier operating under a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Utilities Commission, municipal corporation operating a municipally owned gas distribution system, or regional natural gas district organized and operated pursuant to Article 28 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes used for transmission, distribution, measurement, testing, regulating, compression, control, or storage of natural gas. d. Any facility used or operated for agricultural activities, as that term is defined in G.S. 106-581.1. (2) The person actually entered a building, or it was necessary for the person to climb over, go under, or otherwise surmount a fence or other barrier to reach the facility

They were caught lying. They said in an interview that they got their guns BEFORE they were threatened, thus making them the aggressors. In fact if you watch the videos of the incident, the woman with the hand gun pointed at the protesters does not stand her grown to defend her property... she advances TOWARD the crowd while her husband retreats closer to the house.

You don't KNOW that.. And even if it that was the case, showing a serious deterrence to INTRUDERS IN A MOB -- is very wise choice when they violate private property..

Let's take a short quiz called "THREAT? Or no threat... Because I'm bored with your tantrum here...

1) Marchers from a named organization in the FRONT ROW holding the orgs' banner -- shouting
What do we want? -- Dead cops.. When do want them? --- NOW !!! Threat or no threat?

2) The demand to "KILL Whitey".. Either on protest banners or spray painted on buildings and monuments? Threat? or no Threat?

3) White "militants" armed and entering a state capitol building protesting covid restrictions... Threat or NO threat?

4) Black Militants armed and marching demanding reparations and a "separate state"..
Threat or NO threat?

Test will be fact checked for consistency with past opinions and positions...

I live in a Private gated neighborhood.
I can ride my SxS on the streets with no fear of being ticketed or harassed.
You come into my neighborhood by following a car in and the cops will be there before you can leave.
We also have gates for personal entry just like the McCloskey's have.
I'm also perfectly with in my rights to stand in my front yard with a firearm if I feel my home is being threatened.
 
Oh I dunno... when the women with her finger on the trigger advanced TOWARDS the crowd she was so threatened by?

She never took a class, probably her hubby never took her to a gun range.. Lefties shouldn't HAVE guns apparently...

She "advanced" on her own property.. Not a crime. Not a threat.. At the same time, there were ORGANIZERS trying to get the group to move on, but apparently, some hotter mob heads wanted to mix it up...

YOU DONT KNOW what was yelled over the fences and hedges before the firearms appeared.. NO ONE (i believe) from the protest is PRESSING CHARGES of any kind.. And yet YOU are so SUPER agitated about this, that you can't give it up...

Go read about the 45 yr retired black St. Louis cop David Dorn, KILLED by rioters the week before this dust-up.. HE was a private citizen protecting a business in the same city... Did HE hesitate maybe TOO MUCH to do his job and protect his OWN LIFE??? Bigger tragedies to worry about here...

What is so hard for you to understand? There is a difference in CARRYING a gun for protection, and POINTING A LOADED gun at people with your finger on the trigger that are not an immediate threat of danger? Those are two different circumstances.

Then you will ignore the criminal trespassing on private property?

Trespassing is NOT a crime that justifies lethal force. The homeowners should have called the police, and even if they came outside with their guns, they should NOT be pointing them at the crowd of people with their finger on the trigger.
Depending on the state it is a crime and if you have a castle doctrine state you can use deadly force if you feel threatened

Trespassing in North Carolina can be defined as simply entering the private property of a landowner or a legally permissible occupant, without their permission or by violating clearly posted signage stating no trespassing. ... Trespassing is classified as a Class 2 misdemeanor under N.C.G.S. 14-159.12.
§ 14-159.11. Definition. As used in this Article, "building" means any structure or part of a structure, other than a conveyance, enclosed so as to permit reasonable entry only through a door and roofed to protect it from the elements. (1987, c. 700, s. 1.) § 14-159.12. First degree trespass. (a) Offense. – A person commits the offense of first degree trespass if, without authorization, he enters or remains: (1) On premises of another so enclosed or secured as to demonstrate clearly an intent to keep out intruders; (2) In a building of another; or (3) On the lands of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians after the person has been excluded by a resolution passed by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indian Tribal Council. (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c), (d), or (f) of this section, first degree trespass is a Class 2 misdemeanor. (c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this section, a violation of subsection (a) of this section is a Class A1 misdemeanor if all of the following circumstances exist: (1) The offense is committed on the premises of any of the following: a. A facility that is owned or operated by an electric power supplier as defined in G.S. 62-133.8(a)(3) and that is either an electric generation facility, a transmission substation, a transmission switching station, a transmission switching structure, or a control center used to manage transmission operations or electrical power generating at multiple plant locations. b. Any facility used or available for use in the collection, treatment, testing, storing, pumping, or distribution of water for a public water system. c. Any facility, including any liquefied natural gas storage facility or propane air facility, that is owned or operated by a natural gas local distribution company, natural gas pipeline carrier operating under a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Utilities Commission, municipal corporation operating a municipally owned gas distribution system, or regional natural gas district organized and operated pursuant to Article 28 of Chapter 160A of the General Statutes used for transmission, distribution, measurement, testing, regulating, compression, control, or storage of natural gas. d. Any facility used or operated for agricultural activities, as that term is defined in G.S. 106-581.1. (2) The person actually entered a building, or it was necessary for the person to climb over, go under, or otherwise surmount a fence or other barrier to reach the facility

They were caught lying. They said in an interview that they got their guns BEFORE they were threatened, thus making them the aggressors. In fact if you watch the videos of the incident, the woman with the hand gun pointed at the protesters does not stand her grown to defend her property... she advances TOWARD the crowd while her husband retreats closer to the house.

You don't KNOW that.. And even if it that was the case, showing a serious deterrence to INTRUDERS IN A MOB -- is very wise choice when they violate private property..

Let's take a short quiz called "THREAT? Or no threat... Because I'm bored with your tantrum here...

1) Marchers from a named organization in the FRONT ROW holding the orgs' banner -- shouting
What do we want? -- Dead cops.. When do want them? --- NOW !!! Threat or no threat?

2) The demand to "KILL Whitey".. Either on protest banners or spray painted on buildings and monuments? Threat? or no Threat?

3) White "militants" armed and entering a state capitol building protesting covid restrictions... Threat or NO threat?

4) Black Militants armed and marching demanding reparations and a "separate state"..
Threat or NO threat?

Test will be fact checked for consistency with past opinions and positions...

Yes I do know that...they did an interview where he is on record, and there is a record of a statement released by their lawyer.

Also as clearly seen in the video, the woman advances TOWARDS the crowd, not away as someone who felt such a threat from such a "mob" would do. The man retreated back to the house... leaving his wife between him and the protesters which was pretty stupid and just proves it doesn't matter what his profession is. If there really was something to happen, she would be caught between his firing line and the protesters.
 
I cannot help it that you cannot understand the difference between describing if a crime rises to the level of deserving of lethal force, or when lethal force occurs. I worked for a state prison for 5 years including 3 and a half on an SRT team where we were very well trained in use of force policy, and the legal ramifications of it. You however have no clue what you are even talking about, and can't grasp a simple concept.
You have no training... Liar.

Edit: Thank you. In undergrad in my Constitutional law course and my other law course my professor William Nixon recommended me do it as well, but at my age I think I'm just going to finish my Master's degree and then have a tough decision of whether to get my doctorate or just teach high school or community college. At one point in life I really wanted to do contract law and then become a sports agent.

It's weird that you didn't say any of that. You fuck'n liar. Hypocrite. Bullshitter. I get off exposing people like you.

The hard thing to do with you are a liar.. Is remembering what you lied about...

Did you look at the date of that? I've since not only completed my BS in Criminal Justice with a minor in Police Studies... I've finished grad school as well. At this point you are just embarrassing yourself.
Have you figured in Missouri's Castle doctrine stand your ground and anyone with law enforcement experience knows protest can get out of hand and turn Violent? The Husband and wife were threatened and had every right to defend themselves and their property

Yes, because if you read the stories and the background of the couple, the land the protesters were on is 'community shared private property." It is NOT the private land of the couple, and in fact neighbors have complained about the couple due to them trying to claim part of the private community property as their's when it deed it isn't.

The McCloskey's didnt leave their property.
And the entire neighborhood is private.

Private "community shared" areas are not covered by Castle Doctrine laws. The couple doesn't 'own' it.

I live in a Private gated neighborhood.
I can ride my SxS on the streets with no fear of being ticketed or harassed.
You come into my neighborhood by following a car in and the cops will be there before you can leave.
We also have gates for personal entry just like the McCloskey's have.
I'm also perfectly with in my rights to stand in my front yard with a firearm if I feel my home is being threatened.

OK? That's a non sequitur. Having the cops come would be the appropriate response, not getting your guns before actually seeing if there was a threat, and coming out to threaten the crowd with them. You can indeed stand in your front yard with your firearm... but it is a totally different animal when you start pointing it at people that are not on your property or making threats.

This has become a circular argument because you keep using the same statements that do not even fit the laws and arguments you are trying to make.
 
Also as clearly seen in the video, the woman advances TOWARDS the crowd, not away as someone who felt such a threat from such a "mob" would do.


Really? If a bunch of r-wing torch people were on your lawn and property, how FAR and how FAST would you retreat??? Says a lot about your expectations...

So a shop owner trying to save a biz in a night of pillaging and looting and burning is supposed to RETREAT IN FEAR from a mob???

We're wired differently... And so are the brave souls that do the policing.. They don't "back-up" either...
 
Oh I dunno... when the women with her finger on the trigger advanced TOWARDS the crowd she was so threatened by?

She never took a class, probably her hubby never took her to a gun range.. Lefties shouldn't HAVE guns apparently...

She "advanced" on her own property.. Not a crime. Not a threat.. At the same time, there were ORGANIZERS trying to get the group to move on, but apparently, some hotter mob heads wanted to mix it up...

You can't claim you feel threatened while at the same time you are not standing your ground or retreating to a safer position, but instead moving TOWARDS the threat. No court will EVER buy that argument.

It's become a circular argument for exactly that reason... However it's not because he doesn't understand... It's because you are a liar.

*laughs*

The Rioters that came toward them can't use that either then can they? NEWSFLASH YOU DUMBFUCK, THEY CAME BACK A SECOND TIME! They knew it was private property... AND THEY CAME BACK KNOWING THEY HAD GUNS.

You're really scraping the bottom here.. And you have NO issue with the mob disrespecting a private lane.. Or THEM ADVANCING... GO report some violent threats or something useful...
