| Warrant Served On St. Louis Couple Who Defended Private Property, Rifle Confiscated, Report Says |
| 2020-07-11 |
| [DailyWire] Law enforcement officials in St. Louis have allegedly served a warrant on the St. Louis couple who recently defended their home when a large mob of angry demonstrators allegedly trespassed onto their private property. “5 On Your Side has learned St. Louis police officers executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the Central West end couple who confronted protesters with weapons in June,” KSDK News reported. “Sources tell 5 On Your Side police seized one of the weapons, the rifle, from the couple and they told police their attorney has the pistol seen in photos.” Attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon responded to the news by tweeting, “Missouri is a Castle Doctrine state, permitted among the broadest latitudes of any state in using even deadly force to protect yourself or your property. This couple used NO force, despite the imminent threat from a trespassing mob. The seizure of weapons is government overreach.” The left-wing demonstrators returned to the couple’s home last week and were met by private security that was guarding the home. “When about 300 protesters returned Friday — holdings signs reading ‘Black Lives Matter. Period’ and ‘No Justice, No Peace’ — a more subdued Mark McCloskey could be seen peering out from his balcony while his wife appeared to be shooting video of the marchers on her mobile phone,” the New York Post reported. “The photos also show private security guards setting up barricades and securing the gate prior to Friday’s new demonstration.” Mark McCloskey, who guarded his private property with an AR-15, told a local news station following the incident, “We were threatened with our lives, threatened with the house being burned down, my office building being burned down, even our dog’s life being threatened. It was about as bad as you can get. You know, I really thought it was the storming of Bastille, that we would be dead and the house would be burned and there was nothing we could do about it. It was a huge and frightening crowd and they broke in the gate and they were coming at us.” St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, a Democrat, claimed that the McCloskey’s defending their private property was a “violent assault” and that authorities “will use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable.” Albert Watkins, the McCloskeys’ attorney, told Fox News that “If Kimberly Gardner wants to press charges against two attorneys who are protecting their home and their family and themselves on their own property, I will tell you that it will be nothing short of the proverbial cluster f***.” Related: McCloskey: 2020-07-02 CNN’s Cuomo Accuses Mark McCloskey of Being the ‘Face of White Resistance’ to Black Lives Matter McCloskey: 2020-07-01 ‘You’re next’: Armed St. Louis couple speaks out about what really happened and it doesn’t fit left’s narrative one bit McCloskey: 2020-06-03 Brakes on a Plame Related: St. Louis: 2020-07-07 Violent Left VIDEO: Black Lives Matter Rioters Unleash Terror Rampage on Catholic Prayer Group in St. Louis St. Louis: 2020-07-02 CNN’s Cuomo Accuses Mark McCloskey of Being the ‘Face of White Resistance’ to Black Lives Matter St. Louis: 2020-07-01 ‘You’re next’: Armed St. Louis couple speaks out about what really happened and it doesn’t fit left’s narrative one bit |

| #2 A state that can not or will not defend your person, your family or your property is not legitimate. It's just another shake down racket behind cultural rituals. |
