I heard the news that a couple pointed guns at protesters in St. Louis, but I found it was mistranslated into Japanese....

@kabuku just point of clarification, Krewson didn't make her presence known to the protestors that day. The conflict was when they entered the private street, a neighbor came out with guns and told them to leave.

@kabuku appears the protestors told them to put their guns away, and walked past. The neighbors waved the guns in their faces, pointed them at them, yelled to get out a bit.

@keage I have several acquaintances that were at the protest. They said it was surreal. The couple are lawyers who have a small firm here.

@Wife Thanks for giving me additional informations. These lawyers should know that pointing guns can easily escalate things. // @33MHz

@j_r_snook @keage "private street" doesn't mean people can't walk in. The owners made threats too. I don't think you can point a gun at people without repercussions, if there's public pressure.

@j_r_snook afaik a single person can't prevent people using a private road like this. "A private road can be used by the general public and is open to all who wish to use it, but it primarily benefits those at whose request it was established."

@j_r_snook Think: Grace & Peace is on a private street, and the tenants across from it illegally weld the gate shut to prevent homeless accessing the church.

@j_r_snook though I'm not sure about the technical here.. Like, is gated community diff from private road? eh? But regardless, even on your own property you can probably get in trouble with the law for pointing guns at people.

@j_r_snook another: all those kids trick-or-treating in Luke's neighborhood. Someone standing out there with a gun wouldn't have a leg to stand on saying they can't trick-or-treat there.

@j_r_snook "Exhibits, in the presence of one or more persons, any weapon readily capable of lethal use in an angry or threatening manner"

@j_r_snook not at play; no one used deadly force.
808385
@j_r_snook afaik protestors weren't on their property.
808387
@j_r_snook but I'm not sure it would matter, because of the above.

@j_r_snook they didn't use deadly force, and deadly force wasn't warranted. There was no threat.

@j_r_snook Being allowed to use your weapon to defend yourself in fear of your life doesn't allow you to threaten people. It is just as likely to go the other way.

@j_r_snook They were angry. They weren't scared.

@j_r_snook But ofc it goes both ways. What did the protestors do? Who knows.
