The funniest thing and that literally made me facepalm after reading that post, that I was asked if I was there - since I don't agree with the official story - but they trust the media like the Gospel, yet the
media wasn't there either! Their reporting on this was so dumb, mostly showing us viral memes.
The media likes to take trending posts while scrolling on the social media, embellishes this with opinion and sells it as news. And then they get called "responsible press"! Give me a break. They've been doing this lazy "journalism" for the last several years. I don't need you to go online and tell me what's trending. Whatever.
These people need to man up, get OUT and DELIVER THE NEWS! Instead of selectively spoon feeding us, what they think we should hear only, so some deaths and murders are reported while some are not. That is not journalism. Journalism is when you go see what's going on, report from that place while it's happening, or if you couldn't get there interview the people who actually were there and get some evidence to back up your story.
At least I watched the interview with the two people who were there: the couple. They produced the picture of their vandalized gate to prove that the protesters weren't just passing by peacefully. So while I was not there, I see some evidence to reasonably believe the couple.
Important fact - the video circulating online was filmed by the protesters themselves. We only see what happened AFTER the couple took guns and stood their ground. Why should we believe the impartial story of the protesters from St Louis? There had been a lot of violence in that town already, and Capt. David Dorn was murdered by looters in St Louis a month before that footage. (Which was not reported by the mainstream media, because some black lives matter less so let's cover it up.) It's about what are the people who break in so violently ready to do next, and the current climate in which murder by protesters and other violent events
already happened in their town. It was therefore reasonable to be wary and prepare guns when such people break in. So this wasn't only about property, although it is certainly terrifying to be threatened what you built all your life to disappear in ashes in an hour.
I can also try to break into your house and then flip my phone out to record you when you take a gun out and tell me to move and go away. Then post on social media for the people to be outraged because you attacked me while I was passing by. People who take the side of protesters really believe that these two randomly jumped out of the house with weapons to threaten others for merely passing by; that's the story. The couple is claiming that the protesters broke in and they took the weapons to make them leave. So whom do you believe? In order to reasonably prove the protester story here, it is necessary to show us what happened before the guns were out that overrides and explains the photo evidence below in a positive light for the protesters. But the big problem is that the photo proof the couple provided shows that they did trespass, and did so in a violent way.
Also mind you that their neighbors don't like the couple and have already spoken to the media against them about being "uptight about their property", so if this photo evidence was faked, we would have already heard about that by now.
BEFORE
AFTER
It is also very interesting how the media smeared the couple, not only by suggesting they were crazy, but also emphasizing several times that it was a "palazzo style home" (like viewers can't notice what's obvious from footage). This and other subtleties served to suggest to the audiences that these people own a big expensive house, a palace even, so the tone was that they were the rich bad guys. And nobody should be taking their side. They said in the interview that they bought the historic property for a comparably low price, when it was in a bad condition and no one wanted it, and were restoring it over the course of 30 years. Of course it wasn't dirt cheap even so, I am sure, but they are both attorneys and could take on a bigger mortgage. So now when they own something nice to enjoy in their old age, they are seen as rich jerks. (Not that it would make it right to vandalize and burn their house if they were born into it.)
