Lawyer couple brandish an AR-15, handgun at protesters marching past their St. Louis mansion
The Daily Mail ^ | 29 June 2020 | JEMMA CARR and JAMES GORDON

Posted on 06/29/2020 5:16:44 AM PDT by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

A couple brandished an AR-15 and a handgun at protesters marching past their mansion in an upscale St. Louis neighborhood. Husband and wife, Mark and Patricia McCloskey could be seen aiming the guns at demonstrators who walked by their palatial property in the wealthy Forest Park area at around 6pm on Sunday.

At one point, the pair seemed to be unknowingly pointing their weapons at one another other while trying to keep protesters away from their home - dubbed the Niemann Mansion. The protesters were en route to Mayor Lyda Krewson's home to demand her resignation after she released the names and addresses of residents who had suggested defunding the police department. The pair are both personal injury lawyers and run McCloskey Law Center from inside their extravagant home.

Mr McCloskey is representing a victim of police brutality. The man - who was identified by the initials I.F. - was kicked and struck by police officer David Maas in shocking dashcam footage. The initials match a 2019 civil lawsuit made by Isaiah Forman in which the same allegations are put forward. Forman pleaded guilty to crashing his car into a police vehicle during the chase and is serving a seven year sentence. Maas was charged with one count of deprivation of rights under color of law.

Interesting event. The lawyers should be trained to point their weapons toward the ground unless needed. It would have been better. Also, better to be behind cover somewhere around the house instead of standing in the open. The protesters will come back later and burn that house to the ground. Their upset is understood, they just didn't handle it quite right.

That having been said, I am wondering why so many liberals are ruining their own businesses to support this movement. It doesn't make sense. Why does CNN advocate for anarchy when their own building and news crews are attacked? Other businesses are losing so much money they will go out of business, but they don't seem to care? Who is inciting all of this when the outcome is going to be their own ruin? I wish someone would explain that to me.

Again, chainsaws wielded by the pair would have been a far greater deterrent. None of the bums in the street would have come near them. Thought of a couple of good ideas for rioters/looters last night. First, starve some lions, giving just enough food to keep them crazy. Cage them. Then, bring the cages to the rioting/looting site and set some down on one side. Go around to the other side and set down cages with starving lions. Give the rioters/looters five minutes to clear the scene. If they don't, cut the lions loose. Portable fencing could be employed to keep the lions in the kill zone until finished.

Another idea: Develop spiked strips with razor sharp 3" nails pointing up that can be deployed rapidly. Throw them down on both sides of the rioters/looters in the street and then open a gap and send in a group of LEOs to arrest people. No one is running anywhere. I have many more ideas.

How about just holding a handgun and an AR-15?

Because their TDS is terminal. They’re willing to burn everything to the ground including their own homes and businesses in their attempt to destroy Pres. Trump.

Excuse me, you 50 violent guys, please hold up just a moment while I prep my nail strip and lions, there’s a dear.

The couple confronted the group of about 300 protesters after they broke down a gate in the neighborhood, according to NBC News.

Oh, and they broke down the gate leading into the gated community. How are those gated communities working out for you folks? Great protection, huh? I would prefer some creative thinking to affect a larger group than could be done by two people holding weapons, in answer to your question.

We still have freedom of religion in this country. That's their religion.

I would do whatever it takes to get THEIR attention, just like they're doing absurd things to get mine. My ideas will beat their ideas, I promise.

He should have done that during the 2016 primary. A functioning Justice Dept would be enormously helpful.

My lawyer told me that,in Massachusetts at least,one must be *very* careful where you point a firearm.He said that you’re subject to being charged with “brandishing” which,here at least,is taken very seriously.Unless,of course,you’re an Rat Party donor.

“Why does CNN advocate for anarchy when their own building and news crews are attacked?”

Liberal thinking. The building is insured, and the people are collateral. Liberals don’t care about their sheep they are gong to slaughter at some time anyway. The people’s main use is to supply voters 18 years from now. It’s just a breeding process. And the sheep pay for the education, their upkeep (welfare programs), and the healthcare to birth the next generation of lambs through taxes. The southern dems did the same thing with their slaves, sometimes helping the with a little personal attention. This is why it is so detestable.

The married couple came out of their house armed on Sunday to prevent protesters from walking onto their property after they broke their way into a gated community (Reuters)

The title of the video proclaims “white couple point guns at peaceful black lives matters protesters”

Yeah...they’re peacul all right...’till they’re not.

Maybe the show of force convinced them to be peaceful. What a concept...right.

I admire them for their willingness to stand up and let the “peaceful protesters” know they should stay away.

That said, I’m sorry, but these two tubby’s look silly with their guns. They would have been much more threatening had they been on the roof. Always employ direct fire from the highest point available. Just my $.02.

They didn’t look very intimidating. But it worked.
