Missouri Governor Says He Will Pardon the Gun-Waving Couple Who Stopped a BLM Mob If They Are Indicted

2020-07-20

[Red State] It was epic. A Black Lives Matter mob in St. Louis broke through a gate into a gated community, allegedly on their way to demonstrate at the home of the mayor, but trespassed on the property of Mark and Patricia McCloskey. Some of the mob was armed. A lot of it acted threatening. Rather than cower in their home and hope that the police eventually got around to caring, the McCloskeys took the bull by the horns and exercised their Second Amendment rights:

In a sane political climate, this would never have happened. But in a sane political climate if it had happened you wouldn’t have had the district attorney, George Soros owned Kimberley Gardner (over $190,000 in Soros super PAC money went to her in the last election) tripping over herself in an effort to fly top cover for a trespassing mob and to prosecute two homeowners who the police had ruled acted appropriately. On the day after the event, Gardner put the McCloskey’s on notice that she intended to drop the hammer on them for having the audacity to stand up to Gardner’s favorite mob:

#6 They should have immediately shot the person or persons who broke down the gate to their home.

#5 What I understand private property began at the gate, so is it still brandishing when the aggressor is trespassing and threatening? Don't know Missouri law.

However: prop, airsoft, whatever, in this situation they should be treated as the handling of real firearms. As should every aggressor carrying an item be up for possession of deadly weapon.

Lot of talk about the technical aspects of their wielding; I remember back in baseball nothing gave me Kermit Foot like a wild pitcher.

#3 I saw that they quickly rejected the shop’s offer of a replacement AR, Whiskey Mike. Whether they subsequently changed their minds, I don’t know.

#2 Some of the photos 'seem' to show her pointing the gun at hubby's head. If their lawyer can be believed, the gun was a prop, maybe a replica, maybe just unloaded, that the couple used in court to depict 'evil weapons of the debble'. Okay, I added those last five words. They make their living off of appearing anti-gun. I consider them perfect Democrats. Also, in other maybe 'news', a local gun shop offered to replace the AR. I don't know what happened after the purported offer, but if they end up Guv-pardoned, leg-transpondered, and armed with a couple of new AR's, well then God Bless America.

#1 Check out the wife. She actually positioned herself closer to the percieved threat. She randomly waves her gun (with her finger on the trigger no less) while verballythreatening passersbys. That is textbook brandishing.
