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.

George Soros was not born in the United States so his citizenship can be revoked. I remember around the days of JFK that there was an organized crime guy who had his citizenship revoked for his criminal activities. I think his name was Traficante.

I would LOVE to see the President do it!

They ARE NOT hardcore Rat supporters. They ARE Trump supporters. Here is the FEC link to their contributions. You will be amazed...

self defense in the form of situational assault has always been a felony, subject to exemptions.

I.E.: if you shoot someone in self defense
````

No one shot anyone, and they were on their own property; the terrorists were in a private community on a private road making threats to the home owner. Self defense is now a defacto felony no matter what the circumstances. Old white slave-owing legalisms are racist and no longer in effect in some states. Welcome to the Revolution.

Why do people keep saying they are rat supporters. In Marks interview with Jesse Waters I saw trump paraphernalia on the shelf behind him.

I’m beginning to hear that the wife’s pistol was a non-functional “prop”. If so, it helps me stomach her poor gun handling and lack of trigger discipline. He was better, but...

Absolutely wrong. They are not deep blue.

See comment #124 for their political contribution history. Bright, Bright RED.

"Can you pardon an indictment or would he have to wait for conviction?"

Generally pardons are plenary powers, but individual state constitutions may vary. Typically, there is no need for a conviction (or even indictment) for a pardon to be issued. It's generally accepted that pardons can be issued any time after the commission (or alleged commission) of a crime, but can't be granted in advance.

Did they point the guns at anyone?

Everyone, including each other.

I saw what I thought was a tall thin woman wearing a navy blue pant suit. Something about her said “leader of the pack”.

It likely will be until the Republicans screw up. And don't put it past them.
