Why we need the 2nd Amendment

It's a private street, not open to the public. The "protesters" were the ones posing the threat and were clearly trespassing. After a few weeks of scenes of looting, violence, and wanton destruction property--all without authorities seemingly willing to enforce the law--citizens can only count on themselves at this point.

And that particular house is a mansion in a historical neighborhood. There's a photo below of the entrance to the neighborhood; the private entrance is similar to the entrance to many gated communities across the nation.

I don’t understand your attitude. Don’t you believe people have a right to protect their property? What would you do if a mob threatened to loot, vandalize or set fire to your home? Would you gladly turn it over to them?

These people have shown over and over that they are not reasonable. They take great pleasure in destroying property! So what would you do?

OK, then I was wrong and I stand corrected.  (See, VP, that's how you do it.)

And for those who would insist their mansion is an example of white privilege, I suspect their home is no larger than the ones owned by Tiger Woods, Lebron James and Michael Jordan.  Money buys nice things.

Yes, that's exactly correct--whether it's a mansion, a one-bedroom flat in the ghetto, a "gay" bar, or a liquor store. The right to bear arms within the confines of the law is a necessary support to the right of self-defense, which is nothing more than the natural human right to protect one's person (and other innocents) and their property. That right applies equally to all people--rich or poor, black or white. Without this right society descends into the situation of rioting, assault, murder, and mob rule that has taken place over the past month when the authorities who we largely depend on for defense abdicate their sworn duties.

People who trespass on private property--regardless of their cause--cease to be "peaceful protesters" and should be treated as a potential threat. Everyone understands that.

Had that house been ransacked and destroyed we'd likely be seeing nothing about it in the media. Instead, the owners are being made out to be the villains for the sake of the Narrative. Insanity.

God bless that couple for having the stones to stand up to the mob and defend their home.

More "peaceful protesters" attacking people standing vigil at the statue of St. Louis (in St. Louis, MO, same city as he incident above), which was vandalized over the weekend. This is what Joe Biden and the Democrats support right now. They've gone after Christianity now (which is in line with the official BLM agenda) and there is a massive backlash in the offing.

These faces belong on the 2A Mt. Rushmore.
