U.S. Couple To Be Investigated After Protecting Their Home From BLM Protesters

Click to see full-size image

On July 20th, Democratic Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is investigating Mark and Patricia McCloskey, both in their 60s, for an incident on June 28th in St. Louis.

There is footage of the incident in question. The couple accused demonstrators of knocking down an iron gate marked with “No Trespassing” and “Private Street” signs, though a protest leader has said the gate was already open and no protesters damaged it.

The McCloskeys came outside with weapons — him with a long-barreled gun and her with a small handgun. The McCloskeys have repeatedly said they were defending themselves as tensions have flared during destructive and violent BLM riots across the country.

St. Louis authorities raided the McCloskey residence, confiscating the AR-15 used by Mark McCloskey. The couple said their attorney was in possession of the pistol Patricia McCloskey brandished during the confrontation.

Gardner has not disclosed whether she intends to file charges, but several leading Republicans, and this includes US President Donald Trump, Sen. Josh Hawley and Missouri Gov. Mike Parson, have criticized her for even deciding to investigate the couple.

Even if they are charged with anything, Parson said that a pardon was likely.

“I think that’s exactly what would happen,” Parson said. He later added that based on what he knows about the case, “I don’t think they’re going to spend any time in jail.”

 

This came just days after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the US should specifically focus on some human rights such as property rights and religion.

Meaning that what the McCloskeys were doing, defending their private property, should be a leading human right that the BLM protesters were allegedly going against.

“It’s important for every American, and for every American diplomat, to recognize how our founders understood unalienable rights,” Pompeo said. “Foremost among these rights are property rights and religious liberty.”

It appears that any attempts to resist the BLM and similar protest would be criminalized by the liberal elite that are attempting to push the agenda forward.

Lone Ranger

True. But on avg people who live on a $5million mansion arent poor.

Wayne Nicholson

In that case you’re just throwing good money after bad.

Harry Smith

You can’t say what is in their brains. I have seen enough idiotic decisions made by very rational and smart people.

If justice is based on ugliness and beauty it’s kinda rape of common sense.

They are uglier than ages, and should be declared an unprotected species.

Come on kyke, the Moshiach is so big and so girthy and you love him so much and you would do anything to please him. Tell me you do not want the Moshiach up in your business all the way to your tonsils. Tell me kyke.

8 out of 10 Americans are “dissatisfied” with the state of the U.S. and would prefer to move if they could , according to a new national undertaken by the Pew Research Center.

Rhodium 10

USA are under a coup of Neoliberals Globalist armed forces ( BLM&Antifa&LGTB&Feminism&Muslims)..

Harry Smith

It’s not a coup but logical development of a 100 years process, at my point. First major event of the process was FRS creation. Another major event: allowing non-European immigrants settle in the USA. Superstition of the white Europeans in the USA is a very long story, as I see it.

Wizzy

Non European immigrants? Everyone there besides the natives are immigrants

Jaime Galarza

If we are talking about aliens leaving, then, yes, blacks, Asians and whites should leave. After the way whites “won” the lands in America, how rich of them to decide who is gonna stay and who’s gonna leave.

Harry Smith

Yes. But the USA was built by Protestants with a strong Protestant morale. Those who are not Protestants can not be integral part of this society. For example Italians or Irish ghettos in the beginning of the 20 century. But as Protestants are further development of Catholicism and share many common basics, Italians and Irish naturalized quite well. But Arabs, Latinos, Blacks or Asians, even if they are Protestants, don’t share same foundations with European Protestants. They can’t integrate in the system unless they will change it.

FlorianGeyer

Western Europe’s traditional population is suffering from the incompatibility of different ‘tribes’ of people from faroff land’s.

Thousands of years of history have proved that differing beliefs, customs and skin colours do not mix well. Especially when there is a flood of alien’s

Whether its right or wrong is not the issue, in my opinion. It’s just human nature that will never change. That is not to say that different ethnic groups cannot interact in many ways, as they always have done so in ‘trade’ for example. Its just a fact that ALL humans have a bias, whether they admit it or not.

Phoron

Good fences make good neighbors…

For some reason, the current western paradigm is that the valuation of one’s nation as an organic entity- and not as a ‘propositional nation’- precludes appreciation of other nations or cultures.

Ethnic diversity within a polity is never a strength, it’s a liability that can become fatal.

FlorianGeyer

I agree, especially with immigrants from countries that have been very exploited by the country that they then travel to.

The vast majority anywhere do not choose to leave their homeland if the economic and political situations ‘at home’ can provide a decent life with security.

Those that do flee from the chaos to the country of those who caused it, othen by bombing and looting ( as the US Empire does) the citizens of the ‘Empire’ quite understandably dislike the oppressors. I would feel the same way.

Phoron

Even a ten year old child could see that the ‘invade the world, invite the world’ policy cannot be redeemed as a positive in any way.

‘Invading the world’ being an imperialist policy, and ‘inviting the world’ being a liberal one, combining the two in an unholy globohomo alliance means that virtually everyone involved loses.

Its almost as if those who drive those policies are expressly trying to destroy everything except their own little private islands…

FlorianGeyer

‘Private Islands’ in all their forms have always been the goal of sociopaths, whatever their stated goals are. The thousands of abandoned castles are a testament to this ancient ‘ holier than thou’ method of control.

Harry Smith

At my point, it’s because in USA and WE immigrated the ones who want better life. The fist sign of upcoming collapse in USA was peace movement in times of Vietnam war and hippies. Children of newcomers of 50s became matures in late 60s but they immigrated not to die for the USA but to live cozy and wealthy life. Same thing we can observe in WE. Those Arabs and blacks immigrated in EU not to work hard on low payment work but for “money for nothing and chicks for free”. It’s to about color or culture, but about the quality of newcomers and restricted forced naturalization. Maybe I am wrong.

FlorianGeyer

There is a saying in English that states :- ‘ Everything in moderation ‘. This applies to most aspects of life.

Harry Smith

Pardon me please but in this case moderation means regulation or modesty?

FlorianGeyer

Regulation devised with modest intentions is far more likely to unite disparate opinions , I think.

US justice system……if you are white and protect your property you face jail. if you destroy police vehicles, loot kill, rape its ok as long as you are black…..this is racist !!! ‘Western’ world is facing elimination, ‘western’ civilization is a joke!

guest

Gandhi said western civilization would be a good idea.

χρηστος

even a wise man can make mistakes…..although it worked just fine until the ‘political correct’ , ‘fascism ‘ for everything that we dont like, etc etc was invented.

IMHO

Didn’t he worship cows too.

BBHermes

What an ignorant comment. Much of the property destroyed has been that of black-owned businesses. Many in the mob threatening the McCloskey home were white. Many of the perpetrators of violence have been white (police stations, resturants, etc.). Antifa is a white organization. Etc.

The hypocrisy must be drawn along ideological lines, not racial. Otherwise one is just as wrong as what one is claiming to fight.

Brother Ma

Exa tly.

χρηστος

if you have statistics please send them. I totally agree that there are whites in the mobs that destroy property. My only concern is the procecution of 2 white individuals that did not shoot, did not threaten peacefull protesters etc. people were inside their property, all they did is to warn them. is that a crime?

BBHermes

“is that a crime”?

Of course not, but your comment made a blanket, racial statement about recent violence that is simply false. Just watch the news footage: Whites led the burning of a police precinct in Milwaukee, a White woman burned down that Wendys in Atlanta, and the violence in Seattle and Portland is mostly led by Whites. Black (and White and other) cops have been attacked by white mobs in places. BLM is not the same as Black!

Again, the two people protecting their property were well within their rights and should not be persecuted.

χρηστος

I dont disagree with the main idea of your statement. True the Antifa criminals are white , they have looted and destroyed , but the racist attacks (severe beatings leading to death for example) are made by black people that express pure racial hate. am i wrong? dont get me wrong i dont say that looting or destruction of property is ok because its done by antifa-white members but i dont value a car as equal to a human life. ALM my friend. For me a black cop is the same as a white one. A black criminal is the same as a white. im just socked by the hate expressed by black people against white. and by expressed i dont mean just words….words dont kill people.

Judaism needs to be outlawed in the US, and the synagogues and yeshivas permanently closed. The US has 10 times more Jews than any other nation besides Israel. They’ve done enormous damage to our society and need to be gotten rid of. http://esau.today/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/jews-6-media.jpg

Brother Ma

Nothing to do with it. These were smartarse connected types and nothing else.

Robert Browning

That is how the anarchist mob gets you, by provoking you in to an aggressive stance then recording you on video. Then off to cry to law enforcement.

FlorianGeyer

I would think that simple fear caused them to brandish the weapons, and understandably so in that situation. The weapons should have been concealed a last resort, and standing in front of their house was more Hollywood drama, than a non-fiction display of resistance in the face of an unruly mob.

Brother Ma

I saw the video and they ran out and engaged. It was not fear but a “born to rule” worldwiew. If it was fear then it is the fear cops get when they shoot deaf wheelchair-bound Vic ” because they were afraid for their lives”.

Lazy Gamer

Verbal threat vs actual threat. The woman shouldnt have pointed her handgun. They were being provoked. If this happened to non lawyers, they might have opened fire. I think that their place was deliberately targeted.

Phoron

The McCloskeys appear to be well connected socially… if they were regular Whites, and not hotshot barristers, I doubt the governor would care enough to step in.

Brother Ma

They are both barristers? In which case throw the book at them.

Phoron

Yeah, Mark McCloskey is a trial lawyer who has represented blacks against the police on account of alleged brutality.

It says a lot about the McCloskeys aside from them also being ‘urban revitalizers’, who love life in the Shitty of St Louis instead of moving into a less ‘vibrant’ zone.

Brother Ma

Well something is very wrong. They must have stupidly panicked or always secretly thought his black clients were ALL guilty, because I saw them “run” out in a very confrontational way.

AJ

The woman looks scary enough without a gun.

Wayne Nicholson

Which ones the woman? They both have jacked arms and both could use a bra.

Robot

Black Lives Matter kill the racists!

Lazy Gamer

Irony lol

Wizzy

On the surface this might seem like an overreaction from the justice system and it is. But this couple pulling out guns over literally nothing just goes to show you their sense of entitlement. They coulda just come out the house stand there and nobody would have done nothing to them. But naah, they felt the need to point their guns just like anyone who feels the need to call 911 on a black man sleeping in his car on a drive way. What happened to human to human communication? Why can’t you walk up wake this dude up and tell him he’s blocking traffic or whatever that you wanna say?

Brother Ma

Exactly. Self -entitled ,smug , born to rule ,barristers (as some else said here). So they should have known better. String them up now or failing that a good smacking over the head.

LibertyIsGreat

This is a prosecutor that was supported by radical left wing Soros to win her election. She is a BLM supporter. Any one can be prosecuted but without evidence or law to support prosecution, it will be thrown out.

“The protests that erupted Sunday in downtown Seattle ended with 12 police officers injured, two felony arrests and several building fronts that were vandalized, including the police department’s East Precinct. …

“The Trump Administration could use it as an excuse to do the same to Seattle,” said Councilwoman Lisa Herbold, chairperson of the council’s Public Safety Committee, which oversees police matters.

“So, I plead with the public to please continue your demonstrations,” she said. “We need your voices to propel necessary change in policing, but I plead with you to do so peacefully.”

“Raising opposition to government is a cherished American right,” said Kelsey Nyland, a spokesperson for the mayor. …

Under an ordinance that takes effect this week, neither Seattle police or any police agency operating within the city limits, including federal officers, will be permitted to use tear gas, rubber bullets and other non-lethal chemical and kinetic crowd control devices.”

These liberal dems talking out of both sides of their mouth are a US national security threat. They’re deliberately stoking anarchy and preventing the police from providing public safety in the middle of ongoing rioting, insurrection and sedition. https://youtu.be/67D8HZh4BOI

RichardD

““So, I plead with the public to please continue your demonstrations,””

– Councilwoman Lisa Herbold, chairperson of the council’s Public Safety Committee –

What this idiot councilwoman is calling for is criminal public disorder, blocking streets, impeding traffic, harassing motorists and pedestrians, trespassing, etc.. Half of the city council has marched in these protests violating public safety city ordinances and state laws. And that turn into rioting and felony violent crime on a regular basis.

RichardD

“We need your voices to propel necessary change in policing”

This moron sits on a city council that outlawed riot control. But the same council can’t legislate the change in policing that they seek without public demonstrations that the council is deliberately fueling that frequently descend into rioting? The same council that has done nothing to get all of the police killings in the city prosecuted.

Brother Ma

These protesters need to be chucked out.

Brother Ma

I believe most here miss the point. These idiots brandished guns and came out running when there was no need to. Noone says that the protesters were attacking houses or people. Noone says they were on these homeowners’ property .The protesters were just walking along the road. I’m sorry ,it appears a bunch of smart-arse connected Republicans have decided to act out their worldview of us against them. They are guilty as sin and need to be charged. Trump potentially pardoning them makes no difference. Charge them now!

Bob

Antifa are the Deep State’s useful idiot street mob – and the clear message here is Antifa are protected by the legal machinations of the Deep State (and have been since Obama administration’s justice department gave them a free pass).
