The St. Louis couple whose photo was seen around the country during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 had their record expunged this week, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey filed a request in January to have their convictions wiped and their law licenses restored following a misdemeanor fourth-degree assault charge in 2021. The couple also demanded the return of their guns.

Judge Joseph P. Whyte wrote in an order on Wednesday that the purpose of expungement is to give people who had rehabilitated themselves a second chance.

I expect this couple to be fully exonerated, although it may take 50 years.

A future president will eventually acknowledge the wrong done to them, much like early civil rights leaders have been posthumously cleared of the crime of attempting to drink a cup of coffee at a lunch counter.

Rehabilitated my azz! 😤

[FlingWingFlyer]

A bunch of demented Neanderthals come crashing and trashing through their yard so they want to defend themselves and a sicko “judgey wudgey” thinks they should rehabilitate themselves for doing it? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Amerika! YOU ARE SICK!!! The “Justus” herd really needs to be culled. More fries guys for Cauliphonya.

REHABILITATED??? WHAT DID THEY DO, TURN DEMOCRAT?

That’s what I expect their guns to look like too. That’s why they should buy them new ones along with returning theirs.

Exactly, the couple did no wrong but only asserted their God given rights through our constitution!
Right decision but for the wrong reason!😡😡😡

“Judge Joseph P. Whyte”

Mispelled “White” in the article intentionally so as not to inflame the locals....clever.

“Amerika”
Exactly! This is no longer America but “Amerika”!

A long time coming. They were falsely arrested during the time of the BLM hysteria.

They put the skids under Soros-backed prosecutor Kim Gardner last May - the thing should never have been prosecuted and wasn't going to be until she decided to intervene for purely political reasons.

St. Louis is a town staffed by professional Negroes. One of them is Mayor “Tishaura” Jones, daughter of Emperor Jones.
