I admit that I omitted the word Colt which may lead to misunderstanding. The Colt AR 15 is an assault rifle. 

 

No it's not.

The president of the United States encouraging privileged white gun owners to shoot protestors? A mindless idiot leading scared children! What has this world come to?

You got some right that it is a semi-auto assault rifle. I am quite certain that it is a M-16. I was trained in the M-16 precursor AR-15 to recognize the features. It was a US military standard service rifle and also used by other armed forces around the world. While the US military has largely replaced the M16 in frontline combat, the rifle is still standard army issue assault rifle aka military grade.  

 

Can you name all those armed forces around the world that specifically use the AR-15 as their military assault rifle?

So? That isn't saying a AR-15 is an assault rifle is is? Note the modifications.

Fear has become entrenched on both sides, while people are scared they  often are not able to listen or act rationally,

I am afraid that the leaders are not doing very much to quell the fear or to bring rational debate about. I do not think "United" is applicable to the US anymore nor will it be for many years to come.

These appeared to be protesters, looters or rioters.

People was urging their fellow demonstrators to "move along" where was the rioting and looting here?

Are you allowed, in the U.S.A., to threatened someone who is not on your property? 

Assuming people are protesting on the public road in front of someone's property. 

You can't in my country.

Trump supporters must be so disappointed in trump. He says he will do things to the protesters. He says he will lits of things about everything. Yet he has done nothing.

I watched some of the video of the incident and read some background info. The couple claim they saw some of the protesters with weapons when they were outside, went back into their house, called the police, armed themselves and went outside to confront the protesters. IMO to escalate the situation with alleged armed protesters by exposing themselves, carrying weapons and pointing them at protesters, reported the female at one point had her finger on the trigger of her gun, was an act of gross stupidity. May well be lawful to do so, but I seriously doubt if they went through self protection training they would not have taken such an idiotic course of action.

Are there many of these exclusive "rich people only" gated communities in the US?

Genuine question btw not trying to score points.

They like to keep fellow Americans out unless they are cutting the lawn or cleaning the house for them. I'm surprised they didn't set the dogs on them.

These people were not rioting, or looting or burning, it was a peaceful protest.

If there were armed protester/s with intent to do harm, she would have likely been killed. US officials and some members say it's OK, she's acting within the law, I say she's a fool.

Yesterday, I watched a video clip of some "peaceful protesters" who had invaded a middle class suburb in America. They were chanting something in unison, which I couldn't pick up at first. Then I realised they were shouting, "Eat the rich!"

 

Nice.

 

It was gratifying to see in the video Trump published how quickly the baying, intimidating mob backed off, as bullies and cowards generally do in the face of determined opposition.

 

But one has to ask in both cases: where were the forces of law and order who have a duty to protect as well as serve the public?

This pandemic has triggered forces that can't be stopped, the poor will get poorer and super rich get richer. Something has to snap and it will.
