St. Louis’ top prosecutor told The Associated Press on Monday that she is charging a white husband and wife with felony unlawful use of a weapon for displaying guns during a racial injustice protest outside their mansion. Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner announced the charges against Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who are both personal injury attorneys in their 60s. They also face a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree assault.

Get out of jail cards for looters and arsonists, felony charges for people defending their home.

Do yer stuff, Governor!

The Governor should immediately pardon. I am very sure that would just about lock in for a reelection, if he is able to serve.

Outside?

I thought they broke a gate?

[CaptainK]

The Gov said he would pardon them if they were charged AND convicted.

So I guess they have to go through a trial?

Paging AG Barr.....please pick up the civil rights courtesy phone.

[thefactor]

Can you pardon an indictment or would he have to wait for conviction? This is going to be a very divisive issue.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yes, to get into the neighborhood.

[KC_Lion]

Of course.

Parsons, all eyes on you.

Has the US Attorney ARRESTED Her yet for Deprivation of Rights under the Color of Law?? WHY??

St. Louis’ top prosecutor told The Associated Press on Monday that she is charging a white husband and wife with felony unlawful use of a weapon for displaying guns during a racial injustice protest outside their mansion.

First sentence is inaccurate - protesters trespassed onto the couple's property, they were not simply outside the property.

Felony self-defense....

[Mouton]

I understand protest, as in against the government. IMO, stand on my property yelling at me is assault.

[GreyHoundSailor]

Charges certainly are at odds with the state Constitution. This will go nowhere, but will cost a bundle. The clueless DA should be disbarred for this.

Does this mean they will lose their second amendment rights too?

[gunsequalfreedom]

Did they point the guns at anyone?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

They should call the National Lawyers Guild for assistance in getting out of jail for this gross injustice.
