‘You’re next’: Armed St. Louis couple speaks out about what really happened and it doesn’t fit left’s narrative one bit

[BIZPACREVIEW] The armed St. Louis couple who protected their home from a Black Lives Matter invasion said the thugs threatened to kill them and their dog after trespassing on their private property by cutting through an iron gate. Mark McCloskey, 63, and his wife Patricia, 61, said they had no choice but to resort to their Second-Amendment right to self-defense because the police didn’t show up after they frantically called 911 begging for help.

The McCloskeys said they only retrieved their guns when they saw that the mob who had trespassed on their property were themselves armed and began threatening to hurt them.

"This is all private property. There are no public sidewalks or public streets," McCloskey told KMOV4. "We were told that we would be killed, our home burned and our dog killed. We were all alone facing an angry mob."

Mississippi Gov. Defends Armed Couple: ‘Totally Within Their Rights’

[BREITBART] Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves (R) spoke up for the armed couple who stood outside their home to keep protesters away by saying they were "totally within their rights."

Reeves used a Facebook post to say:

The media is swarming to attack a couple in Missouri for brandishing firearms while telling protestors to leave their property. It’s become a huge national story. Maybe this group had peaceful intent, but the country has seen a ton of violence. The group entered their gate and marched up to their front door. I think these homeowners were totally within their rights (although they might want to work on trigger discipline).

Reeves added, "Private property still exists in this country and the 2nd Amendment is not for hunting—it’s for self defense."

Breitbart News reported that Mark McCloskey and his wife grabbed guns and stood in front of their home as hundreds of protesters moved through their neighborhood.

#1 The McCloskeys have my salute. Them and their very proud chihuahua.

"Baby, can I shoot just once ?"

"No."

"Just one teensy weensy shot. That guy's stupid beanie."

"Mark, no."

#2 Civilised people will be very soon forming their own real police, while ignoring the PC blob their state falsely calls police, but has zero resemblance to Peel's Principles of Policing.

#3 The cops who have taken a load of crap from the black bloc and BLM crowd are going to be in no hurry to arrest people like the McCloskeys. And cops who are anxious to serve in that role will probably find resistance to that within the ranks. Citizens policing themselves? You bet. It's called a militia.

#6 Civilized people will be very soon forming their own real police,

Yep. All they have to do is call it BLM or Antifa "Justice" police and they can shoot whoever they want.

#7 The cops who have taken a load of crap from the black bloc and BLM crowd are going to be in no hurry to arrest people like the McCloskeys.

The Guard will; they must be made an example of.

Look, they have every right to defend themselves; especially when the gates have been stormed. Was it Call of SAaL Team, no, but they didn't hide in the motte and in fact sallied forth into overwhelming odds. Respect.

And I don't get the sneers from some nominally pro-defense logs.
