Here is my point:  whether the crowd of 300 were rioters or demonstrators is a question of fact.  You and Rich have made your decision that they are criminal  rioters based upon the information available to you.  I am suggesting (A) You might be right, but you should recognize that your sources are biased and self-curated and (B) There are often two sides to any story, especially a story based in viral video, you might be wrong.  

 Objectively we do not know yet whether this crowd of 300 were criminals illegally threatening the McCloskeys or not.   Like I said a couple of times, I think the McCloskeys will more likely than not effectively assert self defense.  Won't know until the real evidence is in.

But seriously, I am unaware of any video showing the McCloskeys being physically attacked or property being destroyed.  

If you have video of the crowd at the McCloskey's showing a physical attack or property being destroyed, please post a link in the other thread.  I'll repost this over there too.
