It wasnt a judge, it was the Mayor of St. Louis who lived in the same neighborhood after she literally doxxed people who signed a petition to defund the police.
hes a wealthy white dude who wanted to go outside and point his gun at a crowd of mostly black people. thats it. decades of gun ads have been preparing soft-handed white men like him for a moment like that
Did you know that the beginning of your driveway and the first few feet of your yard is actually public property? You have to pay property taxes on it and may have to do upkeep if there's an HOA, but you can't legally build on the easement, or prevent people from being on it. Standard easements in the majority of the US are almost always either 25 or 30 feet from the center of the road.
Edit: in Missouri, the easement is 60 feet wide. Most residential roads are between 24 and 28 feet wide, meaning there's at least a 14 foot berth onto your yard before you even get to think about trespassing being remotely the case.
Edit2: Also it doesn't matter if it's a private road, all that means is maintenance of that road is paid for by a private entity rather than a public one, not that only the owner of the road is allowed to access it.

They walked slightly into his driveway I thought.
i mean even if they did, threating protesters with gun isn't very sane of them.
When has being sane ever benefited a white man?

It doesn't help to say the wrong thing. It was obviously insane and unjustified but they weren't literally just walking by (as far as I know).
if it was insane and unjustified then why are we concerned whether somebody technically had one foot over the property line &c
We're... not.
oh somebody said something about a driveway

Considering they violated the NAP, he behaved with restraint. :ancap-good:
