"What you saw happen to us could just as easily happen to any of you who are watching from quiet neighbourhoods around our country."shouted at protesters and pointed weapons including a semi-automatic rifle at demonstrators in St LouisSpace to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.The prosecutor said the couple was charged because "it is illegal to wave weapons in a threatening manner" in St Louis.
"But you know who was? We were. They've actually charged us with a felony for daring to defend our home."Soon after the charges, the couple's attorney said they were long-time civil rights advocates and supported the Black Lives Matter movement. "The most important thing for them is that their images [holding the guns] don't become the basis for a rallying cry for people who oppose the Black Lives Matter message," Albert Watkins said.St Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner said the pair's actions had risked creating a violent situation during an otherwise nonviolent protest.
"It is illegal to wave weapons in a threatening manner — that is unlawful in the city of St Louis," she said.Instead, he says his focus is on ending systemic racism inside law enforcement agencies.Watch

I hope Trump wins for you!
Do they remember the tragedy at Sandy Hook school? 20 kids and 6 teachers died at the hands of a gun crazed person. More guns....NO
They are ambulance chasers
lets shoot at our neighbours...there steeling from our yellow bin...this is why America will never stop people killing each other. If they have guns we need guns...bullshit...'god given right'...more bullshit.
What they were really saying is that if you don't vote for trump , then white people might have to live next door to blacks!!!
Poor old God, he's not doing anything in particular right now, so I guess he will come down and make the nasty law people to disappear in a puff of smoke. Arrogant and stupid.
“Bet you’re glad the world has move on from you pointing your gun at people?” “HOLD MY BEER, I’m going on stage to ra ra the Dump campaign”. 😂
This couple & people like them are the big problem.They defend their actions as they don't think they were wrong. They pointed guns at people walking in a public area past their home who made no indication of wrong doing to them or their property. They are dangerous & racist.
I would suggest not coming around my neighborhood.
They clean up nicely.
Yes god invented guns to protect twisted white people's versions of fairy tales
WHITEPOWER
What rights did the Christian God give anyone?
I for one was disgusted that these “people” wielded guns against a peaceful gathering of protestors, who graciously visited their property to educate them of their racism and repatriate their possessions So backwards 😔 but I can trust my to be objective
Not sure that I'm all that familiar with the Bible as such, but I'd be keen to know where in the Bible it says something about their right to carry guns, according to God, or Jesus, or any of the imaginary hordes
White republicans claim their lives are threatened while their militia murder blacks in the streets.
If God intended for humans to have guns then Jesus's followers would have been strapped with AR-15's and busted him out of jail. Prove me wrong
I bet many of your followers would have been pooping their pants if they were in the same situation. Cool to judge from your secure homes though
Gods and guns, who would have thought
No. Good counts for shit.
Also God doesn’t give anyone the right to a weapon or to vilify others-that’s on us.
Do you mean ordinary folk that were protecting their homes FakeNewsMediaClowns.
Can people not see that the Blm movement has been weaponised to create chaos in an election year. With open eyes, do you honestly think this is still about black lives? How many kids & African Americans have died since this started
Good on them
'God-given rights' what verse in the bible does it say you should threaten peaceful protesters with automatic weapons, or is this just the ravings of religious bigots and racists ?
Gun toting? Over 30% of adults in the USA own a gun and gun sales have increased since BLM riots and Covid.
Why are you giving these idiots and their ilk a platform? There must be much more valuable issues to raise on the premier news service.
I saw no threat from the demonstrators, just paranoia from the millionaires.
God will be pacing around the pearly gates with a shotgun, just in-case they come past.
I don't understand, how could gun ownership be a God-given right? Guns weren't invented when God was invented...
Ew
'What happened to us'... Nothing happened to them, protesters just walked down their street. Idiots.
Someone needs to fire an AK into their house..protecting themselves from stupidity
Satans waitin for those clowns
We all know that God is an American, right?
Cuckoo
So the ABC support the Marxist totalitarian terrorists who attacked their home. Disgusting disgraceful ABC
Not sure if the right to be idiots is God-given
What rights are god given exactly?
songadaymann, stuff being fed to us here in Australia ☝🏿 Reality 👉🏼
& he will from 2020 through to 2024...
Wower. Look how 'respectables' they look. They wouldn't kill anyone. Much. 😏😉
God invented guns 6000 years ago! I did not know that!
These poor people. I really felt for them.
The what now?..... God wrote the US Constitution?
This just so disappointing and just like Donald Trump!
Our national broadcaster also doubles as cheerleaders for the American Democratic Party. It’s not our ABC, it’s theirabc
What “happened” to them is they came out of their house armed and ready to kill people. They could have stayed inside. No conflict then...
Yes...? How is this news. Its literally their pledge of allegiance...
Anything for five more seconds of infamy. What a repulsive pair. 🤢
I have checked my Bible,alas, no mention of Americans having God given rights to military grade weapons. Fun fact: no mention of Americans AT ALL.
Who would have thought that theirabc would find something to complain about regarding the Republican Convention! Hold the presses! 😂
where are their guns? 🤣
Karen and Ken look fkd since they lost their Mattel gig
A pair of Trumpeting bigots.
Gilead is alive and well praisebe
Hicksville
GOP terrorists.
All the Leftists in the comments standing up for the 'rights' of violent mobs. Like the ones burning down people's livelihoods in Kenosha, Wisconsin as we speak? Time for some violent right wing riots, then lets see how the tune changes.
If angry mob smashed your gate and entered your front yard, you probably would reach for a weapon...
Stupid is as stupid does
I am sorry to say but there is something seriously wrong with people who believe that having a gun you’ve got given. It has been over 250 years since Great Britain was a threat to the United States. These factors are a danger to themselves and to your country
More Pale American Freak Show. The sociopath in the Whitest House is ready to stoop to any low in his desperation to continue being involved in US kleptocracy.
more and more villages are mourning the loss of their idiots
It’s the same God I have....... it’s against the law to have a gun in my country🤔🤔go figure.......
God given rights? Do they have a receipt for that gift? Without said proof, can they be certain it was God? Perhaps Lucifer, the devil, who owns a nightclub in LA apparently, deceived them?
They think God wrote the US constitution, District of Columbia v Heller 2008 and is also authorizing them to break Missouri state law? How stupid do they think everyone else is?
A senior Chinese official enlisted the help of a top Republican fundraising official to lobby the Trump administration in 2017 to return a Chinese businessman living in the U.S. who has long been sought by Beijing, according to a court document
Didn't a bunch of politicians write the constitution? I don't think God had much to do with it.😂😂😂
AKA inalienable rights. Yes, that’s what America is founded on. I would suggest that if people can’t accept that that’s what America is, and shall always be, that they move. Utopias have been tried before. They don’t turn out so well. Woketopia will be no different. auspol
Are they in Leviticus?
They have a very weird, nasty god
Why the hell are you putting this out as 'news'? You seem to be falling over yourselves to move to the right. It won't save you, just further diminish ABC's reputation for fairness and relevance.
God seems to have cursed America despite all the invocations to do otherwise.
Shame.
It wasn't a black lives peaceful protest, the BLM broke down the gate guarding the private entry to private property, and these so called peaceful protesters threatened the lives of this couple who were minding their own business in their home.
Why is the ABC giving these ignorant folks? They will be arrested in Australia for just pointing guns at people, after one mass shooting Australia hardened its gun laws. Gaddamned abc
If there was a god; I’m certain that it wouldn’t want to be linked with the US of today.
On the 4th day God created Guns so Nationalist Caucasian Americans could prove that not all lives matter. Far right nutters bible -
Good grief.
If I need to explain the US’ incredible craziness to someone ... I’d show them this article. And rest my case. Land of the fools. And the home of the mad.
Its dangerous to glorify that behaviour, especially with what those far-right cultists are like lately.
Can anyone point me to the verse of the Bible in which God gives us the right to carry guns around?
Trump will defend the American people against communism
God does not and has never given people the right to kill. It is the Constitution that gave them the rights. To whom people wrote, not God!
Yep & that’s why the world needs Trump2020Landslide
I have never owned a weapon. But i was surprised when this couple were charged. You could argue showing they were armed kept the protesters of their property. With all the rioting, looting, assaults and murders going on at the time their actions seemed reasonable, go figure?🤔
So “god” wrote the Second Amendment, then
former democrat voters know darlings of the RNC.... WalkAwayFromDemocratsForever walkaway
Do you mean citizens who were defending their home?
Which God? Which rights?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂hahahahahahaha
I didn't recognise her without the mustard stains
“Gun touting”... your bias is so very appalling!!! Some people need guns in this world. Go live on a rural property to find out how necessary guns are. Why do our police get advanced weaponry, including automated drones? We need balance against a tyrannical Gov as Aus is now.
Don’t ,et the truth get in the way of a good story, they were protecting their home along with others in their street from being burnt down and destroyed by rioters
They weren't given anything by any 'God', as far as they can prove.
🤔 Shouldn’t that be “rights given to us by the founding fathers”
Hallelujah, praise be to the Lord!
Kool-aid drinkers TrumpIsALaughingStock
Then he gave us a surreal diatribe on just wanting to live in an america where he can safely go in his back yard, and kids can play outside without having to worry about endangering his life.......Had to do a double take. A white millionaire....is making these complaints
Why did they do it ? There were a large intimidating group of people trespassing on their property. Perhaps they should have let me in a made a cup of tea while they smashed their place up
It's also Common Knowledge™ that they are facing prosecution as well . . .but did 'GOD' give them the 'right' to threaten people with guns . .
I keep asking Republicans where in the bible does god mention AK47 ...
God's Open Season
The “God-given” part is curious
Man Woman Guns Propaganda Idiots
Ladies and gentlemen the face of the Republican Party
Gods don't actually exist, so they are full of gibberish...
God gave you nothing, you took it without asking
You make it sound like they weren't the victims. The mob had broken onto their property, threatened to rape, kill and burn them. Probably would have if they weren't 'gun-totin'
republican brains simply don’t work 🤷🏻♂️
God famously loves guns and rich people
My favourite part of the bible is where Jesus said 'though shalt bear arms against thy number' Beautiful.
Good on them i reckon
Psychopaths
The God-given right to walk down a public street without having someone point a gun at you, right?
🤦♂️
