Neighbors Sign Letter Condemning St. Louis Gun-Bearing Couple
Nearly three dozen residents have signed the letter

After a St. Louis couple wielded guns from their front yard at a Black Lives Matter protest, dozens of neighbors sign a letter condeming [sic] their actions.

...

Since the incident, around three dozen neighbors who live on Westermoreland Place, where the McCloskey's also dwell, have signed a letter condemning the actions of the couple.

The letter explains that Westermore Place and the adjoining street Portland Place are historic neighborhoods with the City of St. Louis representing many walks of life.

"As the undersigned, we condemn the behavior of anyone who uses threats of violence, especially through the brandishing of firearms, to disrupt peaceful protest, whether it be in this neighborhood or anywhere in the United States," the letter reads.

The residents wrote that they seek positive action and constructive dialogue to build a civil society.

Yep. This goes a whole lot deeper than just a property invasion.

Most people refuse to accept that this country is devolving rapidly into a state where mass pogroms will become a reality. They have not the sense nor the courage to acknowledge that a very large portion, probably most, of these budding Brownshirts are hell bent on killing us.

History is repeating itself and we are foolish to believe that the mere fact of our massive gun ownership is, by itself, going to stop that from happening.

These people are arming up. And when they believe they have sufficient arms, they are going to initiate genuine warfare, not just riots and intimidation. Our cities are on the cusp of going Kosovo. And that will become full on if Biden is placed in the White House.

Who sponsored the letter?

Did those signing the letter feel threatened?

The neighbors probably don’t want to get killed.

These people are nuts.

I watched Tucker tonight and he says they cannot even hire private security.
I wish they could get some Hells Angels or other bikers, how would the neighbors like that?
They are being threatened for this weekend.

More likely?

Dozens of neighbors were carefully ORGANIZED into signing the letter.

The husband called Tucker and said they cannot get a security firm to help them. The man also said that the police put them on hold, said they would call back, never did.

You know what?

There may be a place in America for the Mob.

Love to see what an unrestrained force can do to these Brownshirts.

“There were a few people in the crowd that were armed .... And one actually had a rifle pointed right at the Mrs. McCloskey ..... There is at least one photo showing the event with an AR type rifle pointing right at that the lady’s head as she is pointing her handgun back at the person with the weapon. As usual ... The media is ignoring this fact....”

Never mind the media. Why don’t we have this photo here?

"Our cities are on the cusp of going Kosovo. And that will become full on if Biden is placed in the White House."

I think many (most?) people living in this country believe that such a thing would never...could never happen in the United States. Somehow, we're immune.

Obviously, we aren't.

Our society is only "held together" by rule of law and a virtuous, respectful citizenry.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other
John Adams to Massachusetts Militia, 11 October 1798

Our founders and framers were so prescient on so many things.

It's clear that much of the respect, virtue, morality and religion has been eroded away. IMV, due primarily to the "liberal arts" indoctrination centers littering our landscape.

After their “We support BLM” comments, I would not bet the farm on it.

I saw that as well. Pretty frightening for them!

"I wish they could get some Hells Angels or other bikers, how would the neighbors like that?"

My same thoughts exactly! Some local biker chapter pissed off with these hate America marxists, going over there to help protect the homeowners.

....... Do these people realize that the couple was actually threatened at gunpoint??? There were a few people in the crowd that were armed .... And one actually had a rifle pointed right at the Mrs. McCloskey ..... There is at least one photo showing the event with an AR type rifle pointing right at that the lady’s head as she is pointing her handgun back at the person with the weapon..... As usual ... The media is ignoring this fact and portraying the McCloskeys as a couple of crazies ....

That's not an AR-15. Not at all. Not even close. It looks like a 'shotgun' style microphone in a anti-shock mount.
