(14,779 posts)"gun-wielding neighbors" is a very broad term, if violence was threaten I suspect it would have been in the article. Merely "wielding" a weapon is NOT a threat. If that was the case every time someone was given a ticket by a police officer wearing a pistol could claim he was threatened. That is NOT the law. You need something more then neighbors wielding a weapon.
One of the problem with this thread is that there are TWO ARTICLES people have read, the one cited at the start of this thread and an earlier one with more "facts".
The problem is the article cited is limited, no facts as to HOW the neighbors "Confronted" the new owners, just that they were "Confronted"
Now in a related article NOT cited by the start of this thread, a report is made that a neighbor confronted the new owners in their home, but that was NOT the article we are commenting on. That article is here:

Now that is a little bit different situation then what I have been commenting on, the article that started this thread is this one, and nothing it is reports any confrontation between the neighbor and the new owners:
