Assault is illegal here in Missouri.

The lawyers are claiming the streets were "private", meaning they were in an enclave. Status of such is dubious.

Some web searching tells me that people who live on that street have been granted ‘the right of exclusion’ by the city, which means they don’t have to allow anyone to use the street if they don’t want them to.

Is it also illegal to - on your own property - point a firearm at someone who has threatened to kill you and burn your house to the ground?

Who did that? I know they claim that but I don't know who did that. I do doubt those claims.

So?

Tell me when trespassing deserves a death sentence in this context?

Again, I cannot tell you how many times as a teen and young adult and even today living on a private street I have walked through yards without being shot.

In the context of this situation, this couple wasn't fearing that someone would harm them, they were pissed because sane people were protesting injustice and they were having their white privilege challenged.

This was merely a rich white couple fearing times changing.

They won't produce any good evidence that THEIR property was at risk, or that any other property was at risk. So they will be making an unsupported claim of lawful use of force.

"Shoot first" is white privilege. 

We live in a nation where a black female EMT gets shot 9 times in a no knock warrant.

We can't vilify a "Country Club Hero" who sports an assault rifle while wearing beige pants and collared shirt. He was just protecting his whiteness. I mean, can you imagine the entry fees for his club if he doesn't defend his turf?
