Help help I’m being held to a societal standard!
Dinos91
Yeah, cuz speaking at the RNC definitely didn't...
WhiskeyKing
For context, they're suing the photographer, who sent them a bill because they were using his photos for their Christmas cards.
GullahGullahIslander
They turned it into 15 minutes of fame at the RNC...they made their bed, no sympathy here
chefsoda
Surely posing with Trump at the RNC convention helped protect their privacy!

Although pulling guns out is excessive, large groups trespassing a private neighborhood is uncalled for when they could've went around
ForestWhitakersWonkyEye
Protestors were looking for a reaction and got one. Plain and simple.
3dartwork
Doesn't change they trespassed, broke the law. That's not how you protest and support and uphold our Constitution.

If I was a local ambulance chaser I'd be sure to get their picture up on a billboard ASAP

Whaaaaaaambulance chasers are feeling sad......

I say they shoulda fired off a couple rounds to scare em off the property.
ThePunnyGuy
Get them some wahburgers and french cries, STAT!
WanderingMess
Then maybe don't point a fucking gun at people then, bit of a long shot but it would probably work if you aren't a asshole
Orzufancylad
They were so upset, they used the photo on a greeting card.
tegfdd77
So upset they put leg down from chair!
metrognome11
Exactly the reason it should be thrown out. They also mention the unwanted notoriety but happily accepted the RNC invite

They didn’t know they were emotionally anguished then.

Im suddenly even happier theyre sad about it now.
ImTalkingAboutDrainage
You came out of your home with guns and pleats. What did you think was gonna happen? Look at how scared you two are of one another.
JuxtaposeIsANeatWord
They are upset their catering company refuses to do their Christmas party this year: source I know a bartender there.
ChurlishSunshine
Where in sweet fuck are we allowed parties big enough to need a caterer these days?
JuxtaposeIsANeatWord
If it’s at their residence I’m pretty sure they can have as many people as they want. Missouri doesn’t even have a state wide mask mandate
pptninja
So their "emotional distress" is from not getting to show off to their shitty friends?
JuxtaposeIsANeatWord
Probably not just that. I know if I offered them a personal service (hair styling, dog walking, landscaping, etc.) I’d refuse if I could.
Leaps
They should go to jail for even trying to have a christmas party big enough to need catering in the middle of a pandemic.
SisterMidnight
YouwontlikewhatIhavetosay
Weren't people approaching their homes during the protests? I'd fucking step out armed too if you're going to step up like that.
pandastrafe
Sure, but pointing your gun at the crowd with a finger on the trigger is moronic. A gun in a holster on a hip would've accomplished the same
ForestWhitakersWonkyEye
They entered a private rd looking to cause damage. Home owners just didn't do what gun owners should do and pointed w/ no trigger discipline

YouwontlikewhatIhavetosay
Did anyone get shot, or shot at?
ForestWhitakersWonkyEye
No. And I totally agree. My only argument is trigger discipline (driven in my skull). Other than that they did nothing wrong in my opinion.
RedbuIIVodka
Correct. But imgur is pro-protestor and in a blue craze right now. Damn right we would deter as well. Better than those two especially.
ForestWhitakersWonkyEye
True, total echo chamber. I live in the country, so my plan is a LOT different than theirs.

RedbuIIVodka
That is OK. I can stand on the porch exercising open carry rights as a deterrent either way. Their mistake was pointing.
JustARandomStrangerOnTheInternet
1) Might want to be really sure of that. In my state If there is a commotion on the street outside my house and I take a gun out
JustARandomStrangerOnTheInternet
2) *even while on my property* it's called "brandishing" and it's illegal.

I got into a pretty heated discussion with a friend about these ppl. His argument is that their house is in a gated community, and that 1/

MaliceofTheHighestDegree
I honestly have no tolerance for that shit, they deserve whatever's coming their way.
IslandGirl27
Yeah, she's holding that all sorts of wrong and with bad trigger discipline. If you're going to own guns, learn how to handle them properly

Karen was a fucking idiot who deserves to get the criticism for her terrible trigger discipline but ur friend is 100% right in the fact that

ShorterTheHorse
These people are assholes, but for context they lived in a private gated neighborhood where protesters had jumped the fence to get in.
ShorterTheHorse
Like, the protesters had set fires earlier in the week and literally had to pass private property no trespassing signs and jump an iron gate
DrewBerg
Wrong. The reports of them breaking the gate or breaking in were wrong. The gate was open, they walked in. Ths entire reason for their >
DrewBerg
Protest was to go to the mayor's house so she'd have to hear her constituents anger and frustrations, because she refused to hear them out.
ShorterTheHorse
They were clearly trespassing from all the coverage I’ve seen. I don’t honestly believe this couple was in the wrong for pulling guns.

Some of the trespassers were carrying guns.

You mean like if they were trespassing with a hundred of their associates and shouting violence?
arealistohthehumanity
I weave guns all the time, they are soft and fluffy.
Paksennarionisabadass
Could one buy woven guns at Etsy?
LouisFfuhr
Got stopped the other night. Cop: You know why I stopped you ? Me: Nope, Cop: You were weaving, Me: BULLSHIT ! I can’t even fucking KNIT !
whatintarnation9
With their finger on the trigger like that woman.
HolyCowDoNotEat
Imagine what weaving a gun into someone’s face would look like. I’ll wait.

That person would be arrested and given 10 years. Fuck, I'm surprised no one called the cops on them.

VoicNyHead101
She’s got her booger hook on the bang switch... I respect there right to own a gun, only as long as they respect ownership of a gun..
GrumpyOldMillennial
The ONLY reason why you hook the trigger is when you absolutely intend to fire. She is not a competent or safe gun owner. At.All.
thisguyonline1988
It was two of them and who knows how many rioters, whom arrogantly assumed the couple would be stoked about them being on their property....
Orzufancylad
They were not on their property, hence the issue and why the couple are going to jail.
AdmiralButtStuff
IDK why you people insist on pushing that lie. No one ever entered their property.
Provos
Debunked
BroseidonKingOfTheBros
Yeah, their claim was. So was the claim that the protestors damaged a gate.
Provos
Ah the ol’ uno reverse
GroovyCrowley
The protesters were passing their property.
gladusty
They tore down a gate to enter the community
Dragon10449
It is a private gated community so technically it still is their property as the whole property is collectively owned by the community. Not
Dragon10449
Even the road or walkways are public access, so just by being their the lrotestors were technically trespassing. They also forced their way
Dragon10449
In by tearing down a metal gate so in the heat of the moment Id say that constitutes an aggressive act & reasonable fear of being harmed

Article says they did, then stood outside with guns to deter potential threats, honestly if a large group is knowingly trespassing how are
Rips4w
So much so that they rode that attention all the way to speaking at the RNC. Poor, exploited dears.
DarkestHappyTime
The worst part, they were pro-BLM and supported the cause. Hey, wasn't BLM protesting Biden's victory party? Lmao

They printed out the image and signed them as greeting cards. Photographer charged them $1500 for the use of it. They lie.
