No one was hurt in the McCloskey protest? WRONG. Let’s hope and pray this gate is in a better place. #GateLivesMatter #GateGate

Additional layers of delicious irony:

First off, the gate wasn’t protecting anyone’s property. It was a passage to a so-called “private street,” and the protestors were going specifically to the Mayor’s house which was on that street.

Why?

There is even more of a backstory to this protest that you may not be aware of.

Just a couple days prior, the Mayor had read aloud the names and addresses of St. Louis-area police reform protestors at a press conference.

Names. And. Addresses.

You don’t have to be a BLM supporter to see how that was wrong. It was totally improper for the Mayor to do that and, arguably, intimidation.

So, a peaceful march on the very place the mayor herself lived was totally understandable, justifiable, and appropriate.

And as it turns out, they got incredible footage of a freaked out Karen/Ken couple along the way.

And as it also turns out, the sole casualty in this entire drama was a gate.

Boohoo

I nominate this as the single most successful and impactful BLM protest in history to date.

#GateGate indeed

So trespassing should not be a crime, nor should citizens have the right defend themselves if their property is broken into? What's your address?

And your hypocrisy is sickening. You say conservatives are making a big deal about a gate, but this started when you made a big deal about people lawfully defending their property. Otherwise no one would have heard about this.
