But not in the article that started this thread:

My comments was to the article that started this thread, and nothing in THAT ARTICLE mentioned anything more then the word "Confrontation". The Earlier Article, an article NOT used to start this thread, points out that the neighbor entered the home and ordered the new owners out at gun point.
As I have said above, that is a Crime, False Arrest, terrorist threats, Assault etc. but NONE of that is in the article that started this thread. It is a different set of facts that lead to different set of legal results. One can "Confront" a neighbor while armed, but the weapon can NOT be viewed as a threat. The Article that started this thread did NOT state anything that justified any criminal action against anyone. The earlier article that was NOT cited at the start of this thread, on the other hand did state enough facts to justify criminal charges. The real question is why no criminal charges against the neighbors were filed.
