Citations for 9 people who demonstrated near McCloskey home

Nine protesters have been issued trespassing summonses for marching onto a private St. Louis street in June, a demonstration that prompted a couple to emerge from their home with guns to confront the demonstrators.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey were both charged in July with unlawful use of a weapon in a polarizing case that landed them a spot at the Republican National Convention last month. Police spokeswoman Evita Caldwell on Friday confirmed that nine protesters have been issued summonses but said the St. Louis City Counselor's office is still deciding whether to issue charges on the citations.

The Rev. Darryl Gray, who led the protest, called the citations an attempt to intimidate peaceful protesters.

“We’re not going to be threatened, and that’s what’s happening across this country,” said Gray, who was not issued a summons. “You’ve got local governments and states who are trying to charge protesters, financially charge them, wanting them to pay costs. You’ve got others who want to make it a law against exercising our First Amendment right.”

Trespassing is not part of a peaceful protest.

Rioters. The McCloskey’s gate didn’t break itself.

Well, one more of the devil's handmaidens playing the religious card ... This ‘revolving’ rev should be the first one arrested ... his ‘first amendment’ ends at the sound of his voice ... and he had NO constitutional protection for trespass onto private property. lock him up .. His thugs came after the McCloskey’s private property ... and they sure were not preaching the ‘Gospel’.

Didn’t the peaceful protestors tear down a gate or fence?

Threatening physical harm is peaceful protest?

Trespassing is not part of their First Amendment rights.

“Rev. Darryl Gray” worships the ‘god’ of this world - Satan.

To cast his lot with BLM, the satanic movement, tells me all I need to know about this charlatan.

Soon enough, some idiots will charge a person’s yard. The owner will be prepared and open fire.

A week? A month?

It’s coming.

My wife says that lawlessness has gotten so bad here in Western Washington State, that in Puyallup WA on HWY 167, a bunch of Utes decided to shut down the highway and run drag races.

When the rule of law is gone...

Trespassing is not part of a peaceful protest.

Public Street = Protest zone.

Private Fence = Kill Line.

Trespassing on private property is a First Amendment right? Threatening to kill homeowners on their own property is a right?

You learn something new every day.

The St. Louis City Counselor's office is a separate entity from the St. Louis County Prosecuting attorney, Kim Gardner.

What we have here is two different prosecutors. One is trying to keep order, the City Counselor's office.

The other is sowing and promoting disorder, the Circuit Attorney's Office, Kim Gardner.

So the Rev considers it his First Amendment right to damage private property, trespass on others property and to threaten the owners upon whose property he has trespassed.

This pretty much sums up the mentality of all these people. Your life, your property, everything about you, means nothing to these people. You have no rights as far as they’re concerned. Give them power and see what happens to you
