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.

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

Bingo.

If this doesn't wake up the masses, nothing will.

The...”protesters” yelled that they planned on burning down their home after ransacking it and killing them. At least that’s my understanding.

“Did they point the guns at anyone?”

He was careful not to but she was waving the pistol around with the finger in the guard.

She demonstrated no skills. Her finger was on the trigger, and she pointed to her husband's head several times. He did better.

The 2a means nothing to these people. It is time to start using the 2a to eliminate these people.

Think about that!

Better to win the case outright than to shortcut to pardon (leaving implication of guilt).

And winning the case allows profitable countersuit, useful in dissuading city from making similar abuses in the future.

What this means is that if you have to confront a group of thugs in that state, you need to just kill them. You’re dead anyway, so take as many of them with you as you can.

The author feels it is important to the narrative that the victims live in a MANSION WORTH MORE THAN $1,000,000 so this action can be viewed properly through the class struggle lens.

As I understand it, the state has a strong Castle Doctrine, and no duty to retreat law. This is just harassment.

..she is charging a white husband and wife..

I wonder if a black husband and wife would have faced similar charges?
