Don't breast feed in public ....girls.
You're a fu c king dumbass. First off, you're playing right into the legal system bs that pointing a gun at anybody is automatically some crime. Pointing a gun at somebody implies you're not shooting them. The "crowd" was a group of rioters and terrorists looking for loot and vandalism targets. They have experience with this in St. Louis. They had broken down a gate and were trespassing and were in the McCloskey's yard. Trespassing two ways. Then you want to parse all these finer legal points which never should have been law in the first place.

You wave a gun at some family for supposedly cutting you off in traffic and you probably should get investigated, maybe evaluated and maybe have some charges brought against you. You wave a gun around in your own yard, especially under these circumstances and most folks should get a medal.

This. Brandishing laws were originally intended only to punish those will criminal intent, such as displaying your gun to scare or intimidate people who had done nothing criminal themselves. When guns are pointed at bad folks, those with criminal intent, brandishing laws were not meant to apply. Since then, however, the antigunners who have taken over our institutions have turned this law against honest citizens merely exercising their Second Amendment right in order to defend their other basic rights, as intended by the Framers.

Perfect example of anti 2nd A types abusing an otherwise well intended law to suit their own political agenda.
