St. Louis couple threatening protesters

I keep hearing on my google news feed (lol) that this couple that came out of their home, while protesters WALKED by their home, brandishing an automatic high powered rifle and a hand gun and pointed them at the protesters and threatened them that the charges should be dropped and they have a right to defend themselves. I absolutely think this is such bullshit!! They were not defending themselves they were threatening lives for no reason when those people have the RIGHT to protest! They were afraid of the people (because they were black) and were clearly THREATENING them. I cannot believe that this world is to the point where black people or POC can not even walk down the street and exercise their god given right without being threatened with violence by a white racist POS! It’s horrid. I am white and it just completely disgusts me that this is the world I will someday (hopefully) raise my children in. Having a POC as a SO is extremely scary right now as you never know what will happen if they even run to the gas station for god sakes. I’m sorry for everyone who has gone through this it is just simply not okay at all.
