I suppose "Who actually holds title to the street and sidewalk in a gated community?" would be a valid question.
It is assuredly not the homeowner as an individual, as he can not forbid other members of the community, LEO, USPS, or FD from using the road.
If the mob was fully contained to the street and sidewalk, the homeowners may well be truly fugged. The rifle should have been slung and the handgun holstered, if only for the safety of her husband.
