Lower Saucon Township Council on Wednesday night debated a planned Republican rally but had no grounds to vote on whether a gun-toting St. Louis couple could address a crowd at the event in Town Hall Park.

The Northampton County Republican Committee will gather at the park from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday. Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who became famous after they were photographed pointing weapons as Black Lives Matter protesters walking near their home, will discuss Second Amendment Rights and self-defense.

Township residents raised concerns during the virtual meeting about guns at the park, the transmission of the coronavirus and extra costs for police, along with Lower Saucon’s image.

“Please don’t bring this hate to our community,” Jeanette Peterson said.

We are going to this event today. It was originally going to be in a Palmer Twp. park in Easton, PA. The supervisors there would not allow it.

Residents asked their local government to deprive fellow citizens of their constitutional rights to free speech and assembly.

Despicable.

Are the McCloskeys still voting Dem this election? What happened to them is a travesty. But I did read they are hard Leftists.

I think they said they’ve changed their registrations and are voting for Pres Trump, now.

May have been on Tucker’s show, where they said this.

We just talked to our neighbor outside. He said he read about it in the paper & is going to this meeting. He never goes to meetings but he has a lot of guns.

No pun intended but tlthis couple seemed gun shy in the beginning. Perhaps I was wrong.

Perhaps they are making a bundle :-)

And that would be great with me

Would be a good advertisement for a gun company
