>> A white couple of pointed guns at demonstrators in St. Louis, who were protesting the mayor's
decision to docks her own residents who support defunding the police. So this happened in
an upscale gated community, its Central West end neighborhood. And it all started when
the Mayor Lyda Krewson decided to do a Facebook video which has now been taken down, where
she read letters that had been sent to her by people who wanna defund the police.
Now she shared the names of these individuals and also their addresses. So that of course
made some of the demonstrators upset and they wanted to protest in front of the mayor's
home. So the group of at least 500 people was heading toward Mayor Lyda Krewson's home
chanting resign Lyda take the cops with you.
Resignation demands come after a Facebook Live briefing on Friday, where she had read
the names and addresses of several residents who wrote letters to the mayor suggesting
to defund the police. Now since she lives in this gated community, the protesters needed
to break through a gate to the gated community in order to get to her home.
And as they were walking by this one giant mansion. They were met with the armed residents
of that mansion. We have a video, which I'm sure many of you have already seen but for
those of you who haven't, here are the two personal injury attorneys who live in this
neighborhood brandishing weapons.
>> Keep moving. >> Let's go. Let's go.
>> Keep moving. >> Let's go.
>> Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. >> So Cenk, it's important to note that the
protestors weren't there for them. They were there for the mayor and as you can see, they
just wanted to walk by as quickly as possible because of the fact that they were carrying
those weapons.
Now, I've seen some people on the right argue that the couple has the right to defend themselves
and defend their property. But based on how Missouri law is written even though they live
in this gated community, they are not allowed to just brandish their weapons outside of
their home like that.
That's not considered protected, self defense, they have to be in their home. There needs
to be a threat. And as you can see in that video, those protesters did not serve as a
threat to them. They served a threat to the protesters and in various still images of
what happened.
You can see the woman in that video with her hand on the trigger, and that is terrifying
because someone could have really gotten hurt there.
>> Yeah, and he has a safety off so even conservatives are criticizing their gun safety. So although
it's important to note, Donald Trump retweeted this and I'm pretty sure he didn't retweet
it saying hey, can you believe that these guys are doing this to the protesters and
then protesters look perfectly peaceful?
No, Trump retweeted that thinking go get him Brooks brother Ken and trigger finger Karen.
Like I saw this video and picture and thought it was the most absurd thing I have ever seen.
This guy with a semi-automatic weapon and his khakis. Their bare feet, they got mustard
stains all over the shirt, at least Karen does.
And I thought it's just so sad. And Trump looked at it and thought, yeah, go get him.
Look, by the way, this is the perfect picture. This is America 2020, right, both in its comedy
and its tragedy. So you like how many times did we tell you about pitchforks, right?
Now in this case the protesters are perfectly peaceful. But here's the people are in further
McMansion's burning out their weaponry, McMansion America. Weaponry America protesters America,
white, rich people pointing their weapons carelessly at blind people, America. So this
is not the America that I want but it's the America that exists right now in 2020.
And now, let me give you and by the way, it was Colonel Mustard in front of the yard with
a handgun. So this is not clueless. So let me give you context as to where their house
was, how did folks get in, what does it mean that is private property?
So, yes, there is, yes, it is a gated community. Yes, it is private. Yes, even the streets
are private there. And a lot of people are asking, how do we have private streets in
America? It's a good question. I don't know if the residents paid for all that or if the
government paid for any portion of that, I don't know.
The gate was busted, I don't, no one knows how it was busted. But it is a logical assumption
that at least the gate was a casualty as the protesters walked in to go to the mayor's
house, not their house, right? Okay, and I did see the McMansion is the first house.
I'm sorry, I keep calling it a McMansion. It's apparently a renaissance Palazzo style
home. Okay. And they even have one of those Knights in armor that in the old days when
people stormed matches like this, the residents would literally hide in the armour. Okay,
so they could have chosen to do that, they even had it available for them.
It's like a safe room of body armor, right? But they didn't do that. They grab their weapons
and ran out. So they of course were like out of a movie. They were like, we could have
been killed, throats cut and were sure we saw weapons. There are no weapons.
No weapons at all. No one has ever reported any weapons by the protesters at least, and
so their house is adverse. I can see why they would have been a little bit more alarmed,
but don't bring out heavy weaponry when you don't see anywhere and they weren't coming
for you and they didn't say anything about you.
They were going to the, do you know that the Mayor lives down the street. Obviously the
protesters are going to the Mayor's house, which they went into and protested peacefully
there as well. But the last thing, guys, this whole going each other's houses, it's gonna
end very, very poorly, whether you're right wing or left wing.
So I kinda hate it, to be honest. And so, I wish we wouldn't go to anybody's house anymore.
It's a disaster waiting to happen, especially in America.
>> Yeah, well from the head down and anyone in any type of leadership position shouldn't
be doxing private citizens who they disagree with, which is exactly what the Mayor did
in this case.
By the way, I wanna give you the take from Matt Gaetz, a republican lawmaker who has
totally spawn this in, honestly, it's complete comedy. He says, in Joe Biden's America, your
job is illegal. You are locked in your home, borders don't exist. MS 13 lives next door
and the police aren't coming when the mob arrives.
This is all of us. And then, you post the picture of the couple pointing their weapons
at demonstrators. >> Well, yeah, okay, look. This is republican
101 fear mongering of rich white people. My God, the blacks are coming, the blacks are
coming. And so, it's the least surprising thing in the world.
That mad Kate said that he then went on to say I also have pets of different colors,
I do. I mean, they're not in my house but they're friends slash helper slash assistance
slash local pets. But still, anyways, now back to this case. Missouri, this is the same
what the St. Louis Mayor did in doxing the protesters in the first place.
You have to know the context of it is really important, and it's actually unreal outrageous.
After Ferguson, six different protesters that were clearly visible in the protests, including
one that was throwing a tear gas canister back at the cops have been killed have been
found dead, some of them in violent and mysterious ways.
This is the Washington post, this is no joke. This is absolutely real. And there's been
death threats almost all the prominent protesters, one of the leading organizers was a Reverend.
He found, they put a snake in his car and other leading organizers, Cory Bush, who was
actually a justice Democrat in an election right now.
They shot a bullet through a window almost hit her 13 year old daughter and have threatened
her life repeatedly. So we don't know who they are. But there is some sort of insane,
there appears to be we're not sure, the two of the protesters were shot in the head and
then their bodies burn in their car.
So this is very mysterious, very crazy, okay? And it's definitely happening to sailors.
We don't know who or if anyone is doing it, but in that context for the St. Louis Mayor
with potential right wing vigilante murderers out there to dock the protesters. The black
protesters is beyond insane, she should resign immediately.
I don't want people going to her house, but I also don't want her sending implicitly vigilantes
to protesters house, especially in that city. No, that's one of the most outrageous things
I've ever seen. Obviously, there is something very wrong
in St. Louis.
