VIDEO: Hundreds Return to Protest Outside Armed Couple’s Home in St. Louis

Hundreds of protesters returned Friday to the home of the couple who confronted demonstrators with firearms on June 28 in St. Louis, Missouri.

“Protesters marched along the busy public boulevard called Kingshighway, which intersects with Portland Place, a private street that is the site of the Renaissance palazzo-style home of Mark McCloskey, 61, and his 63-year-old wife, Patricia,” according to Yahoo! News.

The article continued:

Chanting protesters on Friday stopped at the gate just outside the McCloskeys’ home for about 15 minutes. The gate that closes the private street to non-residents and extra metal barriers blocked the entrance to Portland Place, where the protesters had walked earlier in the week on their way to the mayor’s home nearby.

Inside the gate, more than a dozen men in plain clothes walked the grounds and peered out from a second-floor balcony of the couple’s home. One protester briefly straddled an iron gate as if he was going to jump over, but did not. No one threw anything and no one behind the gates showed aggression. One man on the McCloskeys’ balcony clapped along with the chanting protesters.

However, it was not immediately known if the McCloskey’s were at home when the march took place.

Friday night, photojournalism major Jennifer Sarti shared video footage of the protesters marching outside the Portland Place neighborhood:

“If we don’t get no justice, then they don’t get no peace,” the group chanted.

During a protest on June 28, the McCloskey’s used an AR-15 and pistol to defend their home when demonstrators allegedly broke through a gate near the house, according to Breitbart News.

“Hope the homeowners find out where those punks live and have a mob surround their houses.”

I’m sure the taxpaying homeowners are already providing the gubmint housing for most of the punks...

The enemedia has to prevent other normals from getting any ideas about defending themselves.

I don’t understand how the same media aligning itself with the ferals can really expect any outcome other than even more segregation. In the decades I’ve been in the workforce, I’ve watched countless positions staffed by blacks have Hispanics replace them, and countless non-blacks move even further away from any concentrations of them.

Most of the protesters are white, ghetto-thug wannabe losers.

These thugs have to have sponsors. There are so many of them, and they have no visible means of support. Soros is one, I’m sure, but I’m sure the Democrat Party, rich tech morons, and foundations that have been taken over by leftist leadership. Even if these jerks are true believers in their anti-American, anti-capitalist cause, they aren’t paying for this themselves.

I have modified Kipling's poem, for a parody which reflects the situation the progressives have placed us in:

Paying Progressive Dane-Geld

It is always a temptation to an entitled population
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We rioted last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation,  with Orwellian dictation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“You are oppressed. White men caused this mess.
We will pay you public cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation to a youthful population,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”

We have been paying Dane-Geld to progressive ideologists and cultural Marxists  for more than 50 years. The cost has been in the trillions. The damage done to our society, moral and Constitutional norms, is incalculable.  It must be stopped, before our nation is lost. We came very close to losing the nation.

“”””McCloskey has deep enough pockets to hire a Blackwater security team.””””

Probably cheaper to hire them than rebuild your house after the thugs loot and burn it.

The McCloskey home looks like a castle. If it were me, I'd secure all vulnerable points of the structure downstairs, install perimeter lighting / cameras, personnel obstacles, invite a few family members and or close friends...then set up on the 2nd floor/balcony's with optics.

Quite honestly, looking at the homes in that neighborhood even in the late 80’s I though, they’re going to have to build those walls (around the community) a lot higher. I followed the real estate listing there for years after. What in DC or NYC would go for 20 million easy - you could pick one up for under a million.
