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
Armed and Stupid
Get woke. Get choked.
Now we have video footage of rich white people brandishing scary-black-assault-rifles at peaceful protesters of color.
This was a planned staged event.
Lots of donations to Democrats as well.
Hmmm...I’m torn here. Want them to face the same thing they’ve advocated for others, but don’t want to have to kill someone trying to break into my home. What a conflict!
The protesters were of the color white. And they were trespassing. Interesting case.
Seemed???
Omygosh. The denial is strong in this one.
Trump picked up two more votes.
Rumor has it they are changing their last name to Nimby.
Ah. So, they’re NIMBYs.
Sure they were...
Useful idiots. Right?
See #13 above.
Need to be careful here ... the statement I read this morning stated that the couple supported the BLM concept not the politics. The statement also indicated that the couple’s political contributions were about 50-50.
And the mayor lives in a gated community.
What a hypocrite.
Not really. People like this do not often redeem themselves. They do have a strong survival instinct, will leave the dangerous, urban cesspools they created but take their vile politics with them when they go to Republican areas.
They thought they had already paid their extortion fees...
I came here to defend that couple, somewhat. But that picture of her evidently pointing her pistol at someone in the street, with her finger on the trigger...
Sorry, lady. You deserve a gentle legal slap to the side of the head.
