    Since prosecution of most everything is based on the political, I am curious what you would do with the mob iwho

    1) trespassed agressively
    2) also “brandished weapons*”

    You know very well that picking and choosing of cases to charge and prosecute is political, regardless of which party or who is in charge. That is nothing unique to ?Kim Hardener, our city prosecutor. What IS unique is the all out war she has declared on white people, white neighborhoods, cops, supporters of cops.

    So, you would really use my tax dollars, given all of the other unprosecuted issues I talk about here, to go after this couple who stood on their own property, with their own (I assume) legally held firearms. Harming no one.

    ok then.

    * a newscaster tells about two men getting out of their cars, yelling at her, showing her their guns. Of course you’re not hearing this on main stream media because it doesn’t fit the popular narrative.

    It looks kinda like an armory from what I can see, but I'll take your word for it.

    In My Opinion: Seems like two different things - yes, your prosecutor is wrong with why she is trying to pursue legal action and, yes, this couple was wrong - they should have stayed inside their house; looks like they were asking for trouble, not trying to prevent/avoid it.

    Some of the video I saw of the incident showed what looked like the couple pointing their firearms at other human beings. They weren't simply holding the firearms, or simply standing on their property.

    Now, without the full context of the incident, one doesn't know if that is "brandishing", which is a crime most places, or something else.

    well, I do think this couple is pretty silly and
    i have hard time defending them, but neither do I want Ms. Gardener’s prosecuting respurces to go toward taking them down.

    I would’ve for stayed in my house, most likely, although I might jave ventured out to watch the commotion. But then I don’t have fire arms as defense. That’s not my mindset.

    So if there’s video of 2 men pointing their guns at the couple either charge them all or charge no one. This is why I don’t live in a big crime ridden city. No tolerance for any of this crap.

    My own neighborhood has two major houses built by the same beer empire, but Because its earlier generations, Houses are smaller more like 5000 ft.².
