VIDEO: Hundreds Return to Protest Outside Armed Couple’s Home in St. Louis
Breitbart ^ | 5 Jul 2020 | AMY FURR

Hundreds of protesters returned Friday to the home of the couple who confronted demonstrators with firearms on June 28 in St. Louis, Missouri.

“Protesters marched along the busy public boulevard called Kingshighway, which intersects with Portland Place, a private street that is the site of the Renaissance palazzo-style home of Mark McCloskey, 61, and his 63-year-old wife, Patricia,” according to Yahoo! News.

The article continued:

Chanting protesters on Friday stopped at the gate just outside the McCloskeys’ home for about 15 minutes. The gate that closes the private street to non-residents and extra metal barriers blocked the entrance to Portland Place, where the protesters had walked earlier in the week on their way to the mayor’s home nearby.

Inside the gate, more than a dozen men in plain clothes walked the grounds and peered out from a second-floor balcony of the couple’s home. One protester briefly straddled an iron gate as if he was going to jump over, but did not. No one threw anything and no one behind the gates showed aggression. One man on the McCloskeys’ balcony clapped along with the chanting protesters.

However, it was not immediately known if the McCloskey’s were at home when the march took place.

Friday night, photojournalism major Jennifer Sarti shared video footage of the protesters marching outside the Portland Place neighborhood:

“If we don’t get no justice, then they don’t get no peace,” the group chanted.

During a protest on June 28, the McCloskey’s used an AR-15 and pistol to defend their home when demonstrators allegedly broke through a gate near the house, according to Breitbart News.

“If we don’t get no justice, then they don’t get no peace.”

Good news for the the McClosky’s. They can easily remain in the house and let this blow over in a month or move to a quiet place, thankful for not being an ignorant leftist.

My husband was born and raised a few blocks south of Portland Place near Chouteau and Kingshighway. I was born and raised near the Anheuser-Busch brewery. We have had several opportunities to move back to St Louis and I am grateful everyday that we didn’t. For the last 10 years I am always armed when I go back to visit relatives.

Most are students and millennials who enjoy attending protests since covid has them locked out of their usual hangouts. I'd wager none of them could answer what were they protesting for at this couples home a second time, because this is nothing more than harassment and intimidation.....along with terroristic threats.

If it were me, I’d buy level eleven concert speakers and put Wagner’s Ring cycle on a loop.

Classical music is an effective dirtbag repellant, as many businesses have learned. Four operas in a loop, though, may be too "Clockwork Orange".

I do like the idea, though.

Anyway, things are ramping up fast. Soon there will be screams and flesh being cut.

As sloppy as he and his wife were, it looks like McClosky spoke to these idiots in a language they understood.

This is simply more terroristic intimidation by antifa soldiers which is allowed by sympathetic police and local government.

That’s true, and I suspect those pampered Whites would feel safest demonstrating at a gated community instead of in the deep ghetto after midnight...

I did some work with the Humboldt School (magnet school for the arts) down in the Anheuser-Busch neighborhood. A lot of great old buildings down there,
I was back several years ago and couldn’t get over the amount of real estate St. Louis University has purchased and cleared between the downtown and west end. It’s a city in flux for sure, There is though, a level of gang violence and no-go areas which would make it not a place I would want to call home. Sad.

Well it sure isn’t the death of George Floyd anymore. He has been dead and buried for a while now.

Most are probably paid Soros stooges and aren’t quite sure what they are protesting.

I note they stopped at the gate this time.

I also note an error: you can’t get to the mayor’s house that way.

The reason they are targeted for this hate is they are white and successful.

They have the sin of melanin deficiency, coupled with restoring a dilapidated home to its former grandeur.

Conspicuous hard work and success by whites is not to be tolerated, especially if they restore a bit of history that must be destroyed.

Someone defied them. They can’t allow that.
