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:

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
“My wife doesn’t know anything about guns, but she knows about being scared. And she grabbed a pistol and I had a rifle, and I was very, very careful I didn’t point the rifle at anybody. The only thing that stopped the crowd from approaching the house was when I had that rifle and I was holding there. The only thing that stemmed the tide. I can’t blame my wife for being terrified and for doing what she could to protect what she thought was her life, it was it was, you know, a horrible, horrible event.”
I don’t blame, I applaud the homeowners. Clearly they were scared, I would have been too.
Re # 4: “This was a planned staged event.”
Yes.
Our side is (understandably but mistakenly) supporting leftist propaganda, as usual.
But they live in such opulence. They must be cheating the workers. They are evil.
The more I read about this case, the more confused I get. I completely support the couple for standing in front of their home, with guns at the ready.
Buat I’m struggling with the woman’s behavior. She evidently pointed her gun at one one the protesters. From what I’ve read, the protester was not on her personal property, but on a private street. So maybe the couple co-owned the street. And the protester was evidently yelling threats at the woman.
Would a jury accept that the woman was in fear for her life? I guess it all boils down to how far apart the protester was from the woman, and if the protester was armed in any way. If I were on that jury, I’d vote ‘not guilty’ regardless. I just don’t like those filthy protesters.
Personally, I don’t think they should have been charged in the first place. But it looks like that the DA is a liberal type. So even if they get off, it’s going to cost them a few bucks.
The clean up is going to get very bloody.
If this goes to trial, the lady’s innocence May depend on where the trial is held
Should have asked them in for tea and crumpets....
Eating their own, I love it! I will love it even more when these pukes approach the non supporters with guns they have no problem using
The interview is pretty good and explains most everything, the mob was on their private property, having broken the gate,and were only yards from the house.
There are pics of one of the protestors pointing a gun at them. In addition, they told them you are next!
The homeowners did nothing wrong.
People I know who are BLM supporters lay all the blame on this couple and not on the protestors. I told them these protestors were trespassing and are the ones to blame as the homeowners have the right to defend themselves and their personal property.
SMH....
