Read all about the McCloskeys’ sordid life history of bullying, suing, and yeah, actually waving guns at other folks who have dared to infringe on their precious proh-per-tay:

Save for successfully and summarily evicting some tenants at an outlying property who had fallen just a month or two behind in rent (including during the recent coronavirus pandemic), the McCloskeys have actually not been all that successful at getting their way, and I suspect they won’t be in facing these new felony charges, either.

Though the criminal justice system systematically resists punishing rich white folks for anything, so you never know.

Whatever happens in the criminal case, their neighborhood and St. Louis reputation is shot to pieces.

My advice: They should move out to St. Charles or the boonies where they truly belong.

This is what it looked like.

Nobody's home was burned. Nobody was killed or injured. Nothing was looted.

You have no idea what happened here. And neither did they.

You know, the McCloskeys were doing fine legally when bearing their weapons until this happened...

That is called presenting your gun in a threatening manner, which is illegal. Just as it is not your first amendment right to say, “I’m going to kill you.” It is also not your second amendment right to point your gun at a crowd of people and further goad them into violence.

Protecting your home from a mob that is committing a criminal act is why we have the right to bear arms. The mob identified as the same mob that burned and looted building just days before, and are on record saying they were going to burn down rich communities.
WHAT ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO DO!!!!??? LET THE MOB BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN AND BEAT YOU TO DEATH????!!!
These people are on record saying they're Marxist, wanting to abolish capitalism and take people's wealth and distribute it amongst themselves.

It turns out you can't buy class, and in the United States you can't steal it from ARMED CITIZENS EITHER!!!!

So, let me repeat what I said since you missed it.

You know, the McCloskeys were doing fine legally when bearing their weapons. They were doing fine. They did what they had to do to defend their home. Then they pointed their guns at a mob that was doing nothing but yelling at them...

Let me repeat what I said since you missed it, the angry mob was TRESPASSING, they were already committing a criminal act. Also they were threatened to burn down their house!

And their response to display their weapons was fair.

Pointing a gun at trespassers who are...

Unarmed.

Not on your property.

And trespassing in a gated community is not enough.

Had they open fired, it wouldn’t be self defense.

Not unless the protestors came onto their property and did more than verbally assault them.

Same with pointing a gun.

They are not in trouble for reasonably defending their home but escalating the situation.

The angry trespassing mob was armed, how do you think they broke through the gate.
They de-escalated the situation by being armed and a force to reckon with. Had they been another pair of limp do nothing liberals their house would be ashes right now!

The protesters were not on private property - perhaps your idiot box works too well?

Gated community = private property idiot
