St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is contemplating whether a pair of married lawyers broke any laws on Sunday when they aimed firearms at nonviolent protesters who were walking past the couple's Central West End mansion en route to a protest at the nearby house of Mayor Lyda Krewson.
In multiple videos, including one that had more than 13 million views by Monday morning, Mark and Patricia McCloskey are seen aiming their weapons at the protestors. Mark McCloskey is shown holding an assault-style rifle, while Patricia is seen holding a semiautomatic pistol. It is unclear if either gun is loaded.
Gardner issued a statement late Monday morning, stating that she was "alarmed at the events that occurred over the weekend, where peaceful protesters were met by guns and a violent assault." She added that her office is "currently working with the public and police to investigate these events."
Gardner concluded her statement with these words: "Make no mistake: we will not tolerate the use of force against those exercising their First Amendment rights, and will use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable."
The protestors on Sunday were headed to Krewson's house to demand the first-term mayor's resignation for releasing the names and addresses of people who had called for defunding the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
Then what is the threshold where you CAN use it??
Some are more equal than others...
It’s time for the ‘carried by six or judged by twelve’ thing.
I never saw a “gated community” with a wall and walkway gate.
I have a walkway gate and don’t live in a “gated community.”
But who cares...not important.
BTTT
The best advice I can give is not to put yourself in a position to find out.
But the whole community is private property with signs declaring no trespassing past which the mob of thugs passed by, making them all lawbreakers.
The gate shown broken down was at an entrance to the couple's property, which the mob destroyed (another crime.)
Your support of antifa and BLM is telling
And the irony of your screen name while NOT voicing support for the freedom of this couple to live in peace and be protected from criminals is interesting.
Your attitude is the same as the dem mayors and governors that are encouraging rioters looters and mobs to run rampant across our country.
You are nuts. Support of antifa and BLM?? That is vile, unfounded and downright stupid accusation.
You don't even acknowledge that the 'peaceful prosters' broke down a security gate, showing that it is a gated community.
So I drew you a picture.
Before on the left, after on the right.
Sorry to have upset you so...
The start of CWII will likely have a total surprise flashpoint.
