I'd say that too . . . except for anything remotely pro-Trump.  Or in conspiracy theories from questionable sources.  Or the wisdom of voting a straight party ticket.  Or . . . . crud, that doesn't leave much for us to agree on, does it?

And how much is your next paycheck?  Are you on the fir-low?  🤣

Feel sorry for that couple. Giant overreaction, and neither can handle a weapon safely. No muzzle control. Was at Portland Place 2-5M homes on that street. Been there a few times, no walk though on either end, just main gate in the middle. The Vandals definetly did break in to a gated and very toney neighborhood,  but the response was not warranted.

so if someone breaks through your front door or front gate, you wouldn't defend yourself?  You must have private security like the Minneapolis Council members.

I sure wouldn't stand in the front yard with a gun and yell at them.

Private property - All should have been charged with TRESPASSING

Using guns (flashing them around) to scare people is wrong.  Pointing them directly at unarmed people is even worse.   I can't think of a situation that makes those 2 statements incorrect.

Yep

Those folks had the option to stay inside with the weapons ready. They screwed up...Now they have real threats to deal with.

Yes, I wouldn’t have handled it that way either.
