When this happened, I tried to put myself in their place.  There had been a lot of violent demonstrations and the crowd did break down the gate.  We all know that people will do things in a crowd, that they might not otherwise do.  I don't know that I would have gone out there with my weapon, unless I felt like I was being threatened in some manner.  I don't know how they felt.  I do know that while I have never faced that situtation, I have felt nervous when confronted with a group of black young men who were coming toward me - and then I felt foolish later because of my own reaction.  

Since no shots were fired on either side, it was a tempest in a teapot, that was raised by the media who clearly sided with the Black people involved.  Because the McCloskeys are wealthy white people, living in a mansion in a gated community, the media would have to make them seem ridiculous.  But, I have no idea what they felt or why they felt it prudent to go out with weapons.  I don't think this really falls under "stand your ground" but that is just my opinion, but I don't think they should have been charged eitherr.
