Man protecting his home. No story here.

I wonder if they knocked on the door again. After he closed it ?

[jerrysanmartin]

What the home owner did is a crime, regardless if it was right or wrong. Anyone else would be charged for pointing a gun.

Wow. Not only am I fully armed, I got a couple of super sweet scary dogs. The husband has a right to protect his family. He was clearly sending out a waning.

I'm pretty sure they're standing in their private driveway, on their private property. Everyone's ok with that?

[bryangarcia]

She’s a puppet DA. What a joke. Los Ángeles is a joke.

[thorodinson]

they were on his property without being invited right? Seems fair to me.

[wildrepublic]

My home is as far as you will back me, he did the right thing, their confrontational trespassers pushing until they get a reaction.

[alexcarter]

Dang man can't you afford one of those Ring cameras and see who it is at your door before you go waving guns around?

[ghostf]

Never ever apologize for defending your home.

[ryanking]

Title correction : "Black man defends his house that is surrounded by an angry mob"

[DONTHATETHEPLAYA]

Uhm 20 people show up at your door i think a gun is in good order.

[ropersix]

More like, he was defending himself and his property from trespassers who looked liked a threat. Nothing wrong with that.

[solideogloria]

it's what i would do if they showed up at my door...

[PawOfRizzo]

Lacey shouldn't have apologized. The protestor at the door tried to present the incident as "We were just wanted to talk"....but you can "just talk" at city hall. No need to go to someone's home and try to intimidate them.

People pounding on my door at 5:30 am will Not be threatened with a Handgun.
I will use a Shotgun!

[EliteNirvana]

As others said headline should read " black armed homeowner defends home from blm mob at 530 am "

[jakehammond]

Most people would have a piece with them if someone is banging on the door at 5:30

[celticfox]

"Knockin' like you the damn police!"

[martqbd]

Always call before you show up on someone's door.
