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.
He funded Michigan AG Dana Nessle (who is on the same recall as Whitmer), and he funded Michigan Secretary of State Joycelyn Benson in the SOS Project, because Secretaries of State have control over elections.
lol...good luck with that. The guy is a top notch lawyer. They broke his gate. They were on private property. He was threatened multiple times and is still being threatened.
Defend themselves from what? Did anyone threaten them or trespass or point guns at them?
Welcome to Anarcho-tyranny. Anarchy for them, tyranny for us.
As soon as it came out they donated to Trump, I knew they would charge them with something.

Yep! This HAS TO STOP!
Where are the conservative leaders?
These thugs broke down a gate to a street they had no business being on and now the people telling them to scram are in trouble?
Too many people are accepting the rioters actions. They need to get used to us protecting our property & rights.
“at nonviolent protesters who were walking past the couple’s Central West End mansion”
Total BS. They broke into a gated community.
It is time to start eradicating these communists from our country.
What’s to investigate? No shots fired. They broke on to his property and he had the right to defend it.
Round and round
What goes around comes around
This prosecutor is simply throwing red meat to her kook leftist base. Truth is, a defense attorney will eat her alive, assuming if the prosecutor will even press forward with the charges. Which she wont.

Yes but to be dragged through the system is the punishment. THey are lawyers so they probably don’t care, they know someone that will defend them for nothing.
Under Missouri law, not a valid reason to brandish a weapon at them.
She’s the one who had a hand in taking down GOP Gov Greitens.
Bought and paid for.
And here comes the criminal government.

Exactly........and there’s a video of the “protestors” breaking into the gated property that is clearly marked “private” beyond the gate. The “protestors” were not on the street when the guns were pointed at them, they had clearly broken into the property and walked up to their home and were on teir lawn shouting and threatening the owners.
They supposedly heard murder threats.
The mob mangled an historic iron gate to intrude on clearly labeled private property.

So it’s going Blue on Blue now. Sort of like the French Revolution. It’s now Girondins vsl Jacobins.
Yes, Soros has many irons in the fire, all aimed at subverting the government of the United States Of America and it’s various jurisdictions. Why this man is not sweating his orange at Gitmo is baffling.
They were verbally threaten. A gate was broken down by the protesters and the protesters were on private property.
How close are we to outright civil war>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
A trigger pull.
HOP in Seattle has 24/7 armed leftists, who shot two black kids last night.They said the kids broke through the barriers with their JEEP and started firing.
In this case, people in the BLM crowd were armed.
There can easily be a spark that will start CWII. The Dems want it. The Dems already have their cannon fodder.
