Disorderly-certainly. Riotous, bent on or engaged in lawless violence - show me. Video from several protesters shows the group walking down the sidewalk past Pumpkin & Honey Bunny's house. It even shows people in the group making sure people didn't engage with the gun totin' duo. Contrary to what hubby says they were not there to burn his house and murder his dog.
I think you, Pumpkin & Honey Bunny took too literally the screed from Faux News that "they were coming to get you". Neither that group nor tha main group they split from engaged in any rioting, looting, pillaging or burning. Republican contributor #1 and contributor #2 had literally nothing to do with your "happy ending". They are not some American patriots defending the castle, the flag and apple pie. The most disorderly conduct committed was being noisy.

1. Gated community.
2. Saint Louis experienced rioting repeatedly since 2014 (fallout of Michael Brown death).
3. Large group of uninvited people in close proximity.
4. Law enforcement unable to respond to anything short of murder because of widespread unrest.
Put it all together: the behavior of the McCloskeys was expected. I guarantee you I would have gone for any weapon handy in the same circumstances as is my right as per the second amendment and enshrined in castle doctrine law.
No one will be convicted of anything related to this. Doing so would constitute a victimless crime and a violation of the Constitution. A jury would not vote to convict. Even if they did, the first appeals court it hits will reverse the decision. The McCloskeys will not spend any time in jail.
Now if one of them actually pulled the trigger, then it gets very complicated.

Adrenaline and nervousness would do that. Only a trained killer would be completely calm in that situation.
