They basically went to a protest and pointed their guns at people. It's not even these fucks. There are so many more. When I lived in the US, someone in my neighborhood did this.

Actaully they never left their property. The protest marched right by their home and they walked outside brandishing the guns.

"I am so scared of the protesters outside, I need to defend myself! Quick wife! Grab the guns and lets get on the front lawn, because we're so incredibly scared of the violent protesters who could come bursting in here any second, to murder us for being white!"

Still both of them are POS

These two are a couple who came outside their home and pointed the weapons you see pictured at a group of protestors marching past said home.

Thanks for the lmddgtfy link. For anyone curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_gun-toting_incident they are a couple which were not happy about George Floyd protests going near their home so their perfectly measured response was to come out with guns. 🤣 Charges have been filed, they pled guilty and in the end got pardoned and their criminal record expunged. Waow.

and in the end got pardoned and their criminal record expunged.

Yep. This sort of action is why I'm not confident about any optimistic view of deprogramming the maga cult. They are in enough positions of power to rule us all based on the rule of law. The violations of constitutional rights and flouting court orders is just to throw red meat to the base.

Fuck I missed that update. I was so happy they got punished. :-(
