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.

Huh? That sentence there from a state prosecutor is inexcusable. What does being white and married have to do with anything?
I'd say she and the insane libtard Judge Sullivan would make a great match...of lunatics.
That is the plan.
I’ll contribute to their GoFundMe if they set it up.
Wow they are white and they are married!! The b@st@rds!!
It could be because they both play for the same side.
Just what did that couple do that was racially unjust?
Did you see their interview the other night? They had Trump books displayed behind them and what looked like an Ollie North book.
Deprivation of rights under color of law.
A law written to check corrupt democrats.
Go figure.
That would ramp this up quick.
I guess they wanted us to know white people will be prosecuted.
This is Bonfire of the Vanities all over again. Prosecutors tired of charging black punks jumps at the chance to charge a rich white guy.
“””As I understand it, the state has a strong Castle Doctrine, and no duty to retreat law. This is just harassment.”””
Here in Minnesota they could have been hit with a brandishing charge.
Is that who the white chick in the suit was? She was with the crowd and yelling at the couple in the longer video I saw, but in most videos I saw repeatedly on TV they cut her out.
I would IMMEDIATELY file a civil rights suit in federal court.
unlawful use of a weapon for displaying guns ?
WTF is that?
No I didn’t !
The first reports on them, that they were big time Mizou Rat supports\contributors.
Guess they weren’t! Unless they went on a big time book buying spree to spice up the scene for the interview
“...Is that who the white chick in the suit was? She was with the crowd and yelling at the couple in the longer video I saw, but in most videos I saw repeatedly on TV they cut her out...”
Nope. Rep. Rasheen Aldridge (D). He’s black and part of the mob that threatened to kill that couple.

Indeed they did, and it was, supposedly, an historic, handwrought art piece, to boot...
Plus, in most private communities, landowners own (and are taxed on) land all the way to the center of the street. (Once inside the broken (posted) gate, the "protesters" in the street were probably trespassing on the landowners' property.)

That sort of misbehavior is frowned upon by landowners (and sheriffs) here in Texas.
Trespassers in these parts are commonly confronted by visibly (and heavily_ armed landowners. If they refuse to leave after a third warning, they're advised to pick a spot of ground with no fire ants or grassburrs -- because they'll be proned out there until the sheriff's deputy arrives to take charge of them.
Once they're cuffed and in the LEO's vehicle, the deputy often takes a bit of time to chat and admire the landowner's armaments... '-)
Plus, it goes without saying that DAs like the one in question don't last long around here...
