Couple in MO being held as 2A heroes...

[WillBrink]

While I have zero empathy for those protestors, I think we do ourselves a potential harm by making them some sort of 2A gun totin' heroes before we have the facts and know who they are. Right now, I see them as classic hypocrites, and I dislike that even more than legit anti gun types.

They did far more wrong than they did right in that event, and we 2A supporters best check out those who decide to stand with. Something does not smell right...

They contribute to dems and anti gun dems and causes, and supposedly defended the looters in court pro bono. What?

I read they're registered Dems, then not. Regardless, what I smell is "guns for me, but not for thee" types, and until I know more, I'm not feelin' them. Secondarily, their gun handling, hers in particular, is truly cringeworthy to watch.

That mob they were a "victim" of they helped create, but when the barbarians are at their gates (literally), the guns come out.

Disregarding bad firearms handling and tactics, this was an excellent example of how the 2nd amendment was intended to work.

I think even more so, look even the clueless and untrained can prevail.

If one wants to isolate it to just that event, sure. However, they're getting some hero warship on social media and they don't deserve any of it and are precisely the types we are fighting against. Maybe they will be of use to the narrative as people point out how fast such people see a value when it's them at risk, but right now, people are missing the irony of the event.

Yea, it is ironic. Hopefully a wake up call for folks like this that the 2nd Amendment has a purpose and value along with showing him exactly what he has been defending is wrong... but not going to hold my breath...

Looks to me like the extremists found some of their own.

BLM / Antifa vs. Liberal Leftist lawyers. Talk about win / win.

Activists see how quickly the knives come out should they stray upon the property of the hand that feeds them. Castle dwellers are made to understand even they are not safe in their gated communities and the very people they defend will come even for them.

I also love the optics. Wake up call for every liberal who thinks "I support BLM so I'm safe."

What the idiot left in this country doesn't understand they will be eaten by the marxist right after the revolution.

Well said, I appreciate the take on this.

How much truth to this there is I'm not sure, but I don't see it as something he should get himself associated personally. Of course having the AG "take a look" is not intervening:

There is no way to screw these people over more than to have Trump weigh in on their side. You are definitely getting charged then. Having the civil rights division look into it would be more useful. Start finding out who the DA has been talking to.
