Even if the road/sidewalk or whatever they were own was privately-owned by someone or some entity (presumably by a homeowners association--which is a separate and distinct legal entity), they were not trespassing on the property owned by the gun-toting couple, as far as has been reported. If someone breaks into the community pool in a private community, does any owner in that community get to show up and point guns at the illegal swimmers?

If the pool is in your backyard, yes.

He has every right to stand in his yard with the gun, especially when a mob of strangers break down a gate and trespass en masse to be there. What issue are you taking with this?

He’s a hard nosed New Yorker that made his career getting things done. That doesn’t happen by being nice. That’s his double edged sword. It shows that he’s a jerk, but it also shows the people he’s up against as jerks too because they’re forced to reveal their true colors, like when Pelosi ripped up the documents at the State of the Union speech.

So what is he trying to get done in this scenario? What's the end game?

I would really like to know how many times Trump’s people have implored him to get off of Twitter or reduce his usage. I know only a small percentage of Americans are on Twitter, but it reaches the masses each day one way or another. I don’t know that he would be leading Biden, but I think the current polls would look different because the optics of his presidency would have a different feel regardless of how you feel about him.

Yeah I think Trump creates his own struggles and a unifying message would at least not give his haters any direct punches to land. We know this is his personality he has always had but you would think he would be smart enough to be targeted with his attacks instead of scorched earth. In the end, the race will be tight because people will see the alternative but if you are the president your job is to unify. I think there is a base of people looking to support him versus a candidate like Biden who is clearly trying to land a position that is out of his league.

He has every opportunity to use Twitter to actually be diplomatic and help unify the country. Really seems like he's actively trying to accomplish the opposite. I don't see any evidence of him even attempting to bring any sense of calm.

As dumb as this sounds...... I appreciate trump being himself.... I may not agree with or like it but it’s who he is..... I appreciate it much more than like the Minnesota Mayor who bent down on a knee touching George Floyd’s casket crying for 40 minutes..... I hate when politicians treat us like we are stupid.

Morons playing stupid games when tensions are this high? Even civilians have the right to lethal defense when they legitimately feel that their well-being is in danger. You surround a car, make a point not to be one of the idiots in front of the car when your partners in crime start busting windows out.

Idiots.

It fascinates me every time they bust a window out of a car and then have the nerve to act surprised when they get ran over . Lol

Then they all run after the car....like these out of shape losers are going to catch it.

The drivers should slow down while they are chasing, let them catch up, then speed up again, then slow down again....would be hilarious.

It's just awe inspiring. Seriously. And kudos to the driver. It's obvious by the drive/stop/drive/stop that he was trying to get away by hurting as few idiots as possible.

Well, he's famous in the NBA or if you pay attention to the business of sports. Not only can he play (20.6 ppg and 6.8 apg last year), but he's a really smart, innovative guy (clearly, with his against-the-grain but thoughtful attack against government debt). There was also this:

I haven't watched an NBA game since Lebron was in Cleveland the first time. The only time I watch NBA players is ever 4 years when they are supposed to be representing the United States.
