One protestor yelled back "then call the cops, you idiot".
Protestors were calling for the mayor's resignation after she went on Facebook live and read the names and addresses of residents who wrote to her asking her to support calls for defunding/reforming the police. They painted "resign" on the road out front of her house.
The couple with the guns claimed that they were told they would be murdered, their house burned, and their dogs killed, though none of the video shows any threats against them. They claimed they were in fear of their lives when a "mob" of 100 people "broke down" the gate to "storm" their community (though video shows the gate was open and undamaged when the protestors entered at a steady pace).
St. Louis may be the best known city for private streets in the US. Prior to zoning regulations in the city, a Prussian developer designed a number of private community with private roads that the residences pay for and hire private security to keep people out. In addition to those communities, St. Louis also closed off over a hundred streets during the 70's to 90's to create cul-de-sacs and reduce through traffic across the city. All in all, there are nearly 400 of these street communities across the city.

I saw a still image of this where the woman had her booger picker on the bang-bang switch while aiming it at protesters. It is lucky no one did get shot. That video shows their muzzle control and trigger discipline leave much to be desired.
i would like to prepare to better defend my home and family from the RICOing ANTIFA but I don't own a pink shirt because they make me look like Kirby, so not sure how to start
