"They were persecuted for exercising their right to self defense. The attention is the ONLY reason that the radical Soros DA brought charges. They were tried and hung by liberal public opinion and their story needs a huge light shined on it so this BS doesn’t happen again"

Yes it turned out ok for them in the end because they live in a law abiding state. If this didn't go public the local DA would've attempted to destroy them.

“IF this didn’t get public attention they would have major legal issues. Laws shouldn’t be weighed by public opinion.”

I agree - but the problem isn’t the law here, it is a Soros-driven prosecutor who figured she had nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking on some Deplorables.

Not enough... the McCloskeys still need to sue the city, the mayor (personally), Antifa, BLM, and the State.

That’s why elections have consequences.

Then why'd McCloskey donate so much money to Trump and the RNC?

You can thank me later for straightening you out...

there isn’t any provision in Missouri law that I can find that allows the AG to dismiss the charges against her will.

Apparently, the laws of Missouri don’t mean anything anymore.

If they did this couple never would have been indicted.

Owners or renters, if the land isn’t owned nor rented then it’s much harder to make a self defense case. It is owned by the couple, so easy legal defense.

Yeah - That's the latest little theory going around on the liberal sites (like Quora and Reddit) highly populated by over-educated liberal “authorities”: The rioters (er, peaceful protesters) were standing on HOA ground, not “private property” and so the rioters (er, pieces of protesters) were on “community ground” and so could be rioting and threatening all they want.

Problem with that theory:

The couple literally, legally, owned at least part of that “HOA property” outright.
Under state squatter’s right law, open and hostile (legal term) use of property for sufficient time (7 years?) renders the lot’s title to the squatters. The couple likely paid property taxes, mowed it, excluded public use at times, etc for enough years, and has been in court asserting their right to the parcel. Court has not decided yet, but being lawyers they wouldn’t be there if case wasn’t solid; I assume ownership begins when criteria are fulfilled, not when court signs title (else prior owner would react to court filing by evicting squatters and declaring “see they’re not squatting any more so it’s not theirs”).

Continuing prosecution for the incident would have
- claimed “castle doctrine” as armed & threatening trespassers on couple’s property
- parcel claimed as theirs per squatter’s right
- stalled title case dragged in for compelled ruling
- evidence tampering noted
- couple wins title
- retroactive ownership means mob violently trespassed
- castle doctrine law applies in plain wording, couple wins
- prosecutor charged with evidence tampering
- prosecutor loses
- mob subject to prosecution
- couple presses charges on mob
- dozens of criminal cases arise
- drawn out cases vs BLM et al
- couple sites for assorted damages

Upshot: couple wins core case, couple wins property title case, prosecutor incarcerated, city spends much on mob prosecution, jurisdictions cross political allies, couple gets windfall $.

Easier to drop the case.
