They’re back for the McCloskeys.
The St. Louis couple came into prominence during the riotous and fiery “Summer of Love” of 2020 when a BLM mob broke a gate down to get into a secure neighborhood to hunt down the mayor.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey, both attorneys, saw the mob break down the gate, armed themselves, and came out to their front yard to keep the mob away from their home. The mob stayed peaceful. The couple has been considered public enemy number one ever since that June 28, 2020 incident.
The McCloskey’s biggest offense appears to be timing and their color, as Axios reveals in their first, top-line description of the couple as “two white attorneys who made global headlines in 2020 when they pointed guns at Black Lives Matter protesters …” Another Axios headline at the time referred to the “white couple” pointing guns at protesters. Patricia McCloskey’s striped shirt even became a target for the mob.
The local George Soros/Big Tech-purchased DA, Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, upon taking office in 2016, “went right to work” letting out all kinds of crooks, thugs, and criminals from jail, ending cash bail, and failing to prosecute crimes. But in 2020, the McCloskeys were front and center. Gardner found the book in the dustbin and commenced throwing it at them.
Gardner and her crooked office were taken off the case when a judge ruled she’d fundraised on the prosecution, making it appear that she’d “initiated a criminal prosecution for political purposes,” which, of course, she did. She appealed and yet failed to convince two higher courts, including the state Supreme Court, that she didn’t have a political vendetta and that her motives were just and pure.

AND GUESS WHAT? IT’s ALL ABOUT TRUMP.
President Trump gave the McCloskeys an atta boy, and that enraged the woke mob. Then the couple was given a pardon by the Republican governor. And that enraged the woke mob even more.
So now they’re back to try and get another piece of the McCloskeys.
At prosecutors’ requests, Missouri Supreme Court this week put the couple’s law licenses on probation. Initially, and this is important, the court announced it would indefinitely suspend the law licenses of the personal injury lawyers but put that on the back burner for the moment in favor of a year’s probation. Why? Well, the woke prosecutors pursuing the indefinite suspension said the McCloskeys pulled their guns and the protesters were peaceful. No heed was paid to the fact that the guns may have kept that mob peaceful.
I am not sorry and I do not care

Case in point: Mark McCloskey

“I disagree with the (Missouri) Supreme Court that what we did on our front porch constituted a misdemeanor offense involving moral turpitude,” McCloskey said. “I don’t think we acted in moral turpitude at all.” He added: “I will respectfully cooperate with and fully perform my probation.”
The now-iconic photo of the couple waving their guns at protesters quickly thrust the couple into the national limelight. The two were invited to speak at the Republican National Convention in August 2020.
Mark McCloskey is seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Roy Blunt.
Let them. He came to Jesus as a republican only after the rioters threatened him. We need him and his wife like I need hemmorhoids. Already got em’. Think McConnell/Cheney.
So let me get this straight. Even carrying a weapon to desuade trespassing BLM protesters should be condemned as an crime. But shooting unarmed helpless trespassing Trump protester Ashli Babbit was an innocent defense of the capital against terrorism.
Truckers are standing up to the evil of entrenched corrupt 'elites' and the rest of us need to stand up to Soros and his many webs of evil too...
God forbid they, or anyone else, defend themselves and their home from a mob.
I support them but their mistake was pointing the guns toward the crowd. Keep the muzzle up or down until your ready to use it.
Strip old Gyorgy of his wealth and send his sorry butt to the Russians.
He came to Jesus as a republican only after the rioters threatened him.
Isn't that how many people become conservatives? "A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged..." etc. Better late than never, I say. At this point we need all the allies we can get.
I’ve said all along, the only crime committed was wearing that pink shirt.
“...the woke prosecutors pursuing the indefinite suspension said the McCloskeys pulled their guns and the protesters were peaceful.”
The protestors were trespassing on private property and in violation of the law which gave the McCloskeys firm and unassailable reason the fear for their lives.
If the prosecutor says was acceptable or legal for BLM to trespass on private property, then the case can be made that it was was also l gal and acceptable for the Jan. 6th protestors to trespass on the Capitol building. Which in my mind tells me they are setting a precedent that will eventually need to be addressed by the Supreme Court.
“Keep the muzzle up or down until your ready to use it.”
Kyle was amazing at this.
Breaking and entering and trespassing made it non peaceful.
I agree with that statement on Safe Gun Handling principles, however I fully support the McCloskeys (even though they're pretty much Liberals) and would sabotage and destroy anyone attempting to punish them for this defense of their home and Private Property.
The McCloskey’s weapon-handling, and in the case of the wife, absolutely atrocious handling and trigger discipline, were cringe-worthy. But, as I understand it, they’re basically liberals, so this comes as no surprise.
We are on the same page but it’s more than just gun safety. Most states have laws against pointing guns at others and it makes for bad optics. Makes it easier to railroad people, like happened to this couple. You don’t give anything up by keeping the muzzle down until showtime.
The mob came back to the McCloskeys THE VERY NEXT WEEKEND.
That's "criminal stalking"...
He’s really old - maybe Satan’s keeping him alive or maybe it’s blood transfusions from teenagers or babies. Or Karma - no one knows.
