You could almost hear the narrative being crafted in liberal newsrooms. The white couple who scared off lefty trespassers in St. Louis was about to be poster kids for every garbage ‘woke’ narrative under the sun. These clowns forced their way onto these people’s property. They were trespassing. That’s illegal—a key aspect of this story. The property belonged to Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who came out armed with firearms to deter these lefty agitators from the premises. Mark was sporting an AR-15 rifle, which surely triggered liberal America. This was a case of self-defense. To make things more interesting, the McCloskey’s are actually supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement. This lefty mob was marching on the house of Mayor Lyda Krewson, a Democrat after she released the names and addresses of locals who are for defunding the police department:

JUST IN: St. Louis attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey release a statement, through an attorney, saying they support Black Lives Matter and they acted lawfully on their property.

We asked a legal expert if the couple who pulled out guns during a protest in the Central West End neighborhood of St. Louis could be charged with a crime. He's says it's unlikely.@PJKSDK explains why: https://t.co/Vek7dic3sl— Rob Edwards (@RobertDEdwards) June 30, 2020
So it turns out the gun-toting couple:
-Supports BLM
-Are Democrats
-Are representing a victim of police brutality.
The media is going to have a hard time comprehending this since they spent all of last night and this morning smearing them. https://t.co/FCfrlclXm1 pic.twitter.com/FfRxl3CHdP— Benny (@bennyjohnson) June 29, 2020
The memes from this incident have been nothing short of epic, but you cannot blame the McCloskeys and they’re not going to be the only ones who react this way when left-wing goons trespass onto people’s property. For weeks, we’ve had a left-wing mob loot, vandalize, and assault police in cities across the country in the wake of the officer-involved fatality of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25. New York City was mayhem. Minneapolis all but burned to the ground. The scariest aspect is that the police seemed powerless to contain the riots. Even in Minneapolis, a National Guard presence did little to bring law and order to the situation. With these hooligans running wild, it’s absolutely within the right of law-abiding citizenry to protect their lives, their homes, and their property from these thugs. Charges against Mr. McCloskey are not expected.

The same people destroying private property and threatening residents wonder why residents are coming out of their homes with AR-15's...?

After weeks of looting, arson, vandalizing, and occupying city blocks, a mob trespasses and people defending their home are the real villains.— Razor (@hale_razor) June 29, 2020

They trespassed and broke down a gate but those people protecting their property should have just known protestors associated with a movement involved with destroying public and private property were just on their way to some other private house.— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) June 29, 2020
They may be stupid, but have a right to defend themselves. I hope they come to their senses and stop supporting a racist hate-America political party.
I saw the guy on TV last night. He said he supported Black Lies Matter. In other words, he was OK with them as long as they were terrorizing and destroying other neighborhoods, but he didn’t want them in his neighborhood. I have a feeling that if someone in another neighborhood had done the same thing, he would have condemned them as “racists”.
Not that that would matter
I disagree. Extreme vile die hard lefties would do no such thing. They will either manufacture some excuse for voting for Biden or not vote at all.
You lay down with the pigs, you’re going to get muddy. The interview the guy had with Live at 5, he was pandering to BLM, to beg for their forgiveness. What happens the next night with the broken gate and the liberal outrage over this and the now known address of this couple?
Like a lot of people they fell for the PROPOSITION
that Black Lives Matter (they most certainly do)
without examining the actual beliefs of the ORGANIZATION
Black Lives Matter (which are in themselves racist because
they value black life above those of any other race).
It’s a brilliant bit of branding by some very evil people.
Trigger and barrel control.
That lady didn’t actually shoot anyone while aiming at them with her finger on the trigger.
Shoot, or be prepared. This half-way pointing business seems like trouble to me.
"Stupid Leftist" is forever.
Which are they?
pointing her pistol at someone in the street, with her finger on the trigger...You're right, she should have a trigger lock on that gun until after she's been attacked.
Another brainwashed gun owner?
You don't know anything about what was going on there and now you're siding with the potential attackers, instead of the attacked.
I agree. I think we're at the point where there are people we should identify as Good Guys and people we identify as Bad Guys. We need to support the Good Guys even if we think some of their behavior might not be 100% perfect.
I can tell you that if I'm on a jury for anything like this, I won't even think about what transpired. I'll just decide who I want to win the case. Because we're not really in a legal situation now. We're in a hot civil war, and I want my side to win. So I will support my side 100%.
They’re broke the gate to their property trespassed on it and assembled illegally on a private street. When the homeowners inform them they were trespassing on private property the marxistS became enraged and threatened them with harm.
“They Were Supporters Of Black Lives Matter!”
I think that’s turned out to not be true.
RE: I think that’s turned out to not be true.
So, you’re saying this Townhall report is FALSE?
Can you point us to the correct news?
-Supports BLM
-Are Democrats
-Are representing a victim of police brutality.
Attorneys must always keep up a good front it’s good for business,if they were the above they wouldn’t have guns but they know the ones they defend.
Say what you will about this couple but watch the video and notice the protesters staying firmly on the sidewalk and not in their yard. By the way the protesters screamed that they were going to kill their dog and burn down their house.
< They’re broke the gate to their property trespassed on it <
Interesting. But which gate? Was it a gate to the private community, or a gate to their own house?
Because if it was their own gate, I become way more sympathetic to them, even with the woman’s horrible trigger discipline (she needs to take an NRA course).
But if it was the community’s gate that went down...I’ve got to think about that. I don’t know if that’s worth pointing a gun at someone - but holding a gun at the ready, you betcha.
“So it turns out the gun-toting couple:
-Supports BLM
-Are Democrats
-Are representing a victim of police brutality.”
According to Open Secrets (https://www.opensecrets.org/), husband, wife, and law firm have spread their money fairly equally between Rats and Republicans
Because the protesters had beaten down the gate to a private community in which the streets and sidewalks are owned and maintained by the HOA rather than the city, the protesters were tresspassing while on the sidewalk.
Not that I’d want to use that flimsy but accurate defense.
I’d stay behind my door with plenty of defense.
