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.
Not a gated community. A private street clearly posted No Trespassing - Private Property in multiple locations.
Good. As an attorney, hes an embarrassment to the profession.
Soros paid for this over year to get his DA;s in place
Soro’s support of Gardner explains it all. Nonviolent? The trespassers forced open a locked gate, how is that nonviolent. Gardner is a kook,,,,,
[[[Defend themselves from what?}}}
An angry mob that just broke through a gate on a private thoroughfare.
{{{Did anyone threaten them}}
Yes, the angry mob that threatened to kill them and their dog.
{{or trespass]]
The homeowners prevented them from doing that to their property and they were on a private thoroughfare.
[[[ or point guns at them?]]]
Not that i know of however the homeowners called the police and private security patrol and no one showed up. So they were on their own.
1. Trespassing on private property you have broken gates to get into is NOT “nonviolence”. 2. Shouting violent threats at home owners, whose property you have broken into is not “nonviolence”. 3. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner should be fired for investigating the wrong people.
“Defend themselves from what? Did anyone threaten them or trespass or point guns at them?”
They broke down the gate and made threats. You are supporting the mob? Am I missing something?
Run your own search.
That’s what I did:

McCloskey, zip code 63108
They’re GOP.
They were trespassing on private property and threatened the couple. To say they were “peaceful” is a bold faced lie.
> Soros paid for this over year to get his DAs in place <
Soros is playing the long game. The Chinese do the same. Most conservatives play the short game. The long game players usually win.
If Trump should lose in November, just oh my. Its Katy bar the door and Grandpa get the musket off the wall.
Gardner should be fired. She obviously is a racist who doesn’t know the law and panders to thugs.
I dont know how this is going to go.
If he had shot the man who said, youre next, hed be OK.
What they did, brandishing, is illegal in a lot of places (dont know about MO), and you can bet, if it is where they live, theyre both going to prison.
“Donors to ActBlue and Biden for President =>”
NOT ANY MORE, though!!!;)
He SHOULD be investigating their actions in preparation for their citation on the community’s Citizen-of-the-Year Award
A whole mob trespassed on their property.
Shes the one who had a hand in taking down GOP Gov Greitens.
Bought and paid for.
The good news is they have the resources to get good lawyers. The bad news is they will be charged with civil rights violations, and it won’t matter.

In many places brandishing a weapon is use of deadly force. You cannot use deadly force for trespass in most places.
Missouri Law: Missouri’s law is more extensive than those of other states because it allows you to use deadly force to attack an intruder to protect any private property that you own, in addition to yourself or another individual. This means that if someone illegally enters your front porch or backyard, you can use deadly force against them without retreating first.
Yep, our posture here is has changed significantly over the last couple months
My violence hating Jesus freak (I dont mean that derogatorily) is not only on board but has been buying gear that goes way beyond prepping without even asking me or being pushed to do so and started toting larger artillery around with her
