From the article:

Police said that people in the crowd yelled threats at the couple and that the McCloskeys would not be charged.

According to the NRA, state law does not prohibit the open carrying of firearms, but does prohibit exhibiting 'any weapon readily capable of lethal use' in an angry or threatening manner in the presence of one or more persons.

Exhibiting a weapon in this way would likely be a Class D felony punishable by up to four years in prison and a fine not to exceed $5,000.

According to the St. Louis American, however, the 'Castle Doctrine' allows people to use deadly force to attack an intruder on their property.

I don't think castle doctrine applies like that unless they are inside the house. If they are only on your property you may have a duty to retreat.

I'm sure the dumbfucks would have started to follow them in the house almost right away if they had retreaded, they would probably have started to invade thinking they "scared the richs"

It's one or 2 daring, then a third following, then almost right away it's a pack of ten and then it's the entire herd

And before they realize their fatal mistake it's too late, it's a crowd, the individual tends to follow the general movement whatever that is, partly for lack of better visibility but not only. Individuality/self tends to vanish in a crowd/group, and often individual reason/critical thinking vanishes too. it's almost as if we were hard wired to switch into mob drones given the right conditions
