Really? You think anything would have happened if those idiots hadn't come out brandishing their guns? Idiots breed idiots.

Mark McCloskey reached out to News 4 Monday morning saying he was having dinner with his family outside of his home when the crowd went through wrought iron gates marked with "No Trespassing” and “Private Street” signs on Portland Place.

"A mob of at least 100 smashed through the historic wrought iron gates of Portland Place, destroying them, rushed towards my home where my family was having dinner outside and put us in fear for our lives," McCloskey said.

Despite his claims, video circulating on social media shows protesters opening and walking through the unbroken gate. It is unclear when it was actually damaged or who destroyed it.

I don't really know what happened to this guy's property. I expect we'll get more details in the next few days.

The protesters walked through an open gate onto a community street that is a de facto public thoroughfare. The gated community in question does in fact routinely allow visitors to walk the community streets unchallenged.
