Missouri attorney Mark McCloskey, who along with his wife Patricia brandished legally-owned firearms when confronted by Black Lives Matter protesters at their St. Louis home last month, told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Monday that "the rumor is that we are going to be indicted shortly" over the incident. Last week, authorities executed a search warrant at the McCloskeys' home in connection with the June 28 incident. Mark McCloskey told host Tucker Carlson that the officers were "almost apologetic" when they served the warrant. "They didn't want to have to be there. They were doing their job. Patty wanted to take a picture to document it and she asked if they wouldn't mind facing away from the camera so that people wouldn't get mad at them if their faces were shown on TV," he said. "They all did so. "They, unfortunately, are stuck between a circuit attorney [Kim Gardner] that wants to prosecute us, and their own belief that we did nothing wrong." In the June incident, the McCloskeys said they were startled shortly before dinnertime when “300 to 500 people” entered the gated community where they live. "I didn't shoot anybody," Mark McCloskey said. "I just held my ground, protecting my house, and I'm sitting here on television tonight instead of dead or putting out the smoldering embers of my home." "If you just retreated into your house, it probably would be burned to the ground, as you just said," Carlson told McCloskey. "But is that how society should function? I mean, shouldn't someone in authority in the State of Missouri be coming to your aid right about now?" Carlson has previously criticized of Missouri Republican Gov. Mike Parson for largely sitting on the sidelines while the McCloskeys have been investigated by authorities. McCloskey also criticized the media coverage.

They could certainly counter sue and maintain they were forced into that decision by the lack of action by police and government to protect them and their property. Something that is paid for by their taxes. I would love to see that go to court. It would in effect need to be decided before their case could be heard.
Anyone hear from the NRA on this?
He is a lawyer, according to a Fox interview, and owns a law firm. I’m sure he knows what he is doing
This Soros-bought crazy bitch Kim Gardner, the DA that is striving to indict, has met her match in this man. As a skilled lawyer and owner of a law firm, she is in for a world of hurt.
Bump
President Trump should per-person them AND supply a Federal Marshal security team to protect them .
Pre-Pardon.....
Wayne is busy getting measured for more suits.
This is just the kind of case needed to put the NRA right where they need to be, on the fence and needing the correct decision. I’m not holding my breath. The NRA from 1871 to present has allowed creeping incremental opposition and law making against the second amendment almost free reign.
Reminds me of the position of Right to life organizations. They have been put into the same box. Once life was deemed by the Congress to have exceptions they have been forced to compromise. So too with the Second Amendment. Shall not be infringed has been infringed numerous times.
The Republican Gov. is a spineless squish. PRIMARY HIM!
I saw that and the quote about “dead...smoldering embers” was perfect.
No well-chosen jury will convict them.
Punishment by process. The race baiters will get their “pound of flesh” by dragging the couples names through the mud and giving them the perp walk. It was obvious they faced an imminent threat to their property and personal safety as soon as their gate was breached and rioters entered their property and had every right to defend themselves. I would be shocked if the case ever went to trial. My guess is the prosecutors will get their photo-op then quietly drop the case before it goes to trial.
COP. “I am so sorry. I am just doing what I was ordered to do.” (as he pulls the trigger and puts a bullet into the back of your head)
The police are not our friends and were been turned into a corrupt SA a few decades ago.
Not true. There is nothing that will happen to her on a personal basis. If he wins his case in court, it will cost him time and money - It will cost her nothing. If he sues her and wins (very unlikely) the taxpayers will be on the hook for all of her expenses.
Is this MO governor a coward? I haven’t seen anything about him in this matter. They need another Josh Hawley as governor.
Where the eff is Barr? Playing bagpipes, I presume. Where is the civil right suit against the mayor, the gubner and the circuit attorney for violations of equal protection under the law.
It won't be the left that turns us into a Marxist state. It's the do nothing RINOs. Tell me this governor doesn't play bagpipes too?
Gov. Parsons must be a protege of Romney. What a loser.
