ARMED Couple Wielding Guns Outside Their Mansion During BLM Protest Are Lawyers Representing A Victim Of Police Brutality

The irony is the couple are hardcore Democrats – party of gun control. Even so, they had every right to protect and defend their home.But the Democrat AG in that state doesn’t agree.

St. Louis lawyers who waved guns at protesters under investigation

Epoch Times reports:

A couple in St. Louis stepped outside their mansion on Sunday and wielded firearms after a group of activists broke through a gate to enter the private neighborhood. Video footage shows the group, protesting against the city’s mayor, entering an area clearly marked “Private Street.”

As the group moved by their home, the couple, identified as Mark and Patricia McCloskey, appeared on their back porch and told the activists to move on.

Shortly thereafter, the couple moved onto an area near their front door and continued urging the group not to stop. Activists can be heard shouting “eat the rich” and “why are you threatening us?” Some threatened to enter the home.

After shouting at the couple for at least 10 minutes, the group continued on to Krewson’s house. Video footage did not show any of the activists attempting to move toward the couple’s home.

A St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman told The Epoch Times that police officers responded to a 911 call at the location around 7:20 p.m.

“The victims stated they were on their property when they heard a loud commotion coming from the street. When the victims went to investigate the commotion, they observed a large group of subjects forcefully break an iron gate marked with ‘No Trespassing’ and ‘Private Street’ signs,” a police incident summary said.

“Once through the gate, the victims advised the group that they were on a private street and trespassing and told them to leave. The group began yelling obscenities and threats of harm to both victims. When the victims observed multiple subjects who were armed, they then armed themselves and contacted police. The investigation is ongoing.”

An investigation into what happened is ongoing.

In a statement sent to news outlets, the McCloskeys said they “acted lawfully” by remaining on their property, which sits on what they described as a private gated lane in St. Louis.

“Their actions were borne solely of fear and apprehension, the genesis of which was not race related. In fact, the agitators responsible for the trepidation were white,” the statement said.

Armed St. Louis protesters broke iron gate, threatened couple before they drew their own guns, attorney says

‘We were told that we would be killed, our home burned and our dog killed,’ homeowner said

St. Louis couple seen pointing guns at protesters marching toward mayor’s home

A Missouri couple under fire for brandishing guns in the front yard of their home as protesters passed told police the group broke a gate to get onto the private street, and the pair say they only retrieved their firearms when they spotted “multiple” people who were already armed, department records show.

Al Watkins, an attorney for Mark McCloskey, 63, and his 61-year-old wife, Patricia, said the protest was largely peaceful and the pair did not bring their guns outside of the home until two men in particular, both of whom were white, started menacing them.

The McCloskeys, he said, were hesitant to come forward with the full story out of fear that they would “disparage the importance of Black Lives Matter.”

“At the time, their fear was, these people, two in particular, that were marching along with the Black Lives Matter protest participants – all peaceful. They were acting in a fashion inconsistent with the message being given,” Watkins said. “My clients were not arming themselves against peaceful protesters, they were arming themselves about people with a really bad motive, a motive that runs afoul of the fundamental tenets of our country.”

After the couple brought the guns outside, Watkins said, others began threatening them, unaware of the reason behind the couple’s interpreted need to arm themselves.

“My clients, though, had to deal with comments that were from two individuals that were perpetrating these acts of violence and, not charging, but coming toward them and doing so in a fashion that was threatening, menacing, and in a fashion inconsistent with the Black Lives Matter message.”

The pair called the St. Louis Police Department shortly before 7:30 p.m. Sunday. They told arriving officers that they had heard a “commotion” and, upon investigating further, “observed a large group of subjects forcefully break an iron gate marked with ‘No Trespassing’ and ‘Private Street’ signs,” according to an incident summary provided to Fox News by the department.

However, a video showed the protesters walking through the gate and it was unclear when it was damaged.

In that sense they are but maybe after dealing with the type of people they DEFEND for a living, they may rethink who they are defending in their police brutality cases.

Pics just do not look correct, not even close.
i go to a range about 3 times a week, paper targets and gongs, save when i can hit them.
NRA- RSO saftey board and so on. Old Army infantry dude, decades of training and safe shooting.
NO one holds a handgun like that, (of any cal) as she it, NO ONE if they have ever fired one that is.
The man with the Black POS, AR15? does not have a clue whats in his hands, methinks never
fired it as well, just does not work that way for a single fire gun (semi-auto – one shot per finger pull). Maybe with the correct traning from the Millarty you can hold it in a fire fight on FULL AUTO, to spray the jungle.
Lots of traning done at my range, this is not a real pic of folks who have ever fired a gun, imo.
Traning tons of first timers but damn, could have done better, if this was a staged photo op?
Peace

Normally … I would be a whoopin’ and a hollerin’ for saving their castle … and even so

… I applaud their brave defense of their home .. .

… and I applaud exercising their 2A rights

That said – if I seem VERY UNSYMPATHETIC …

I HAVE worked with attorneys like these ambulance chasers

… they are the norm in the profession

… safety, security, opportunity, jobs, money, privileges, and rewards … etc, etc. etc. ad nauseum

… for them

… but not for us.

… How dare you monsters dream of making a better widget or selling a cheaper taco

… or sending your kid to college …

I would bet my J.D. these ambulance chasers would sue a small business owner or a little old lady defending their property – on behalf of the perp threatening their lives – into oblivion … to squirrel the insurance company … and rights, and the community, and right and wrong … be dammed.

I believe them to be personal injury attorneys-at-law. At least that’s how they have been described.

THE epitome of Ambulance Chaser.

Oh, yes … exactly.

Suppose I should not be so judgmental … I aced torts and took advanced courses in it to boost my GPA and standing in the class (didn’t help really). So I understand how it works.

But those attorneys who lecture us on ‘white privilege’ and ‘unconscious’ systemic racism and ‘living in bubble’

… are almost always arrogant, conceited, highly privileged, narcissistic attorneys with a massive sense of personal entitlement

… and it’s not just MHO …

… although few in number statistically – I know quite a few attorneys who agree with me (not so surprising – remember I live in Texas – even many of my Gay(D) friends are CCWs and 2A supporters)

… you and yours have a wonderful week, Achmed.

I don’t understand why no one wants to address this imaginary white privilege most of us didn’t have unless you are Chelsea Clinton or Javanka Trump. These are the types that are guilty of it! The rest of us worked for it!

Tucker Carlson could have easily coasted through life on his family’s fortune but he didn’t. He came from a very wealthy family. He worked hard and made his own way in life. I respect that.

Yes, you’re right.

No one wants to get into ‘white privilege’ because it’s a useless argument for our leaders

Political expedience is the father of ‘white privilege’ and ‘hating whitey’ …

… the Demokkkrats had “everyone” hating black Americans up until ’64

… I can still remember that anyone who recognized a black American as a human being was an ignorant, knuckle-dragging, science denying, throw-back – add a bunch of insult terms I don’t dare post …

… but LBJ realized he had to pick a new bogeyman after they lost the 1964 Civil Rights Act … and he had to make sure they never lost the black vote again … so he invented a welfare program (Great Society) and went on a charm offensive to the blacks to buy their vote …

… to be fair … I think LBJ was just a self-serving, racist POS who wanted to rape the Golden Goose… not a commie anti-American POS, and he did not understand the party had already gone from being a socialist-criminal party to a party infected with hard-core Soviet-inspired communists dedicated to destroying the Goose.

… since then “Whitey” – a nebulous term with multiple meanings, but usually reserved for those white people Lefties hate – Southerners, rednecks, hillbillies, pick up truck drivers, people who work, Republicans, veterans, people whose math works … etc.

– Whitey has replaced black Americans as the Demokkkrats’ whipping boy.

There’s nothing else to it. The Left has to have a target group to hate – and “Whitey” is the group. Everything else is just shiny objects to distract the drones(D) while they hide the ball.

Actual whites with privilege are almost universally Lefties; so it’s irrelevant.

Just opining for the thread since your thought struck a cord in the Swiss cheese between my ears. …

*** you and yours have a wonderful week, Felix

it’s ‘democrat privilege’ and ‘democrat supremacy’ and most of the highest crime lead-poisoned blue cities are dem-run for 50-100 years aka they ARE the system blaming others who aren’t responsible and who did not make endless false promises for 50+ years.

Years ago, I worked in the insurance industry. Mill doctors and lawyers are terrible. Beyond signing them up to take their cut on the final pain and suffering soft tissue settlements they don’t bother to see them. They just run out the clock till they hit the number they want. There were plenty of them. As long as they don’t over due it in running up fake office visits, insurance companies settled without going to court. It’s wasn’t worth the time of their legal staff fight to it.

It didn’t matter if they had witnesses coming forward on these fraudsters. It was a cost of doing business nuisance . It keeps insurance rates high. Years ago the multiplier used to be 3.5 time the medical specials. I wouldn’t know what it is today. By the time the lawyer takes their cut of 50/50 or 60/40 of the settlement, they aren’t left with much. Mill doctors settle for the insurance reimbursement so their incentive was to run up the tab. It’s easy money for all of them.

I’ll never forget the situation where a bus was involved with a truck. The liability was with the truck. Before the police got there, people were practically fighting each other to get on the bus to be soft issue claimants.

Too many people will do anything thing for money no matter how meager the amount. It didn’t matter if they had a history of using the same doctors and lawyers or not. They’d happily do it again and again and maybe vary it with staged rear end accidents. Staged robberies and other fraud keeps insurance rates up too. There is a similar mindset for settlement there. Fake workman’s comp. claims were equally disgusting. Maybe with cameras all over the place they fight some of them now. It disgusted me so much I went back to college for another degree, changed fields and never looked back.

Absolutely … and it still goes on … including just flat out fraudulent cases.

… the ‘law’ still ‘exists’ in the books

… but in practice, it’s just garbage.

No one believes in it. No one defends it. No one cares about it.

And these days, modern attorney do not even understand why it’s important, and they have no sense of fiduciary duty to the community to engage in their profession with integrity.

Lawyers have always been a pseudo-profession of quacks and crooks …

… but Western civilization achieved a level of ‘professionalism’ among attorneys in which the civil order cultivated and protected a thriving and vibrant economy and relatively just society.

The Leftards have flushed that brief flash of decency down the toilet

… and modern attorneys are no better than communist political officers

… sent out to do as much damage to the community as possible.

*** you and yours have a wonderful week!

Unfortunately – yes – that’s what would normally happen.

… but as much as I am certain of their positions and views Before this incident

… I am less certain of their reaction this time.

Ten years ago, if a Demokkkrat attorney in the Dallas Bar pulled a gun to defend himself – and exposed himself as a complete hypocrite …

… all would be forgiven before the bars opened the next day

But today … with the Left on a temper tantrum … and in a feeding frenzy …

… I’m not so sure.

The prosecutor – backed by the Sore Asset Natzee – plans to scalp the McCloskeys

… this may be the FIRST TIME in their lives the McCloskeys get to feel what its like to be an American with ‘white privilege’ … literally channeling the Left’s own bull about getting to know what’s it’s like to be the victim …

… to be hounded, harassed, targeted, persecuted, and smeared …

… they WILL BE ostracized, shunned, excluded, expelled, and *cancelled* …

It may not change their fundamental beliefs – which like many Democrat attorneys amounts to nothing less than contempt of Americans and the aloof arrogance only allotted to those certain of their own superiority to the hoi polloi –

… but then again, if anything can change them, this will be it.

I might add – as someone who walked the road of changing all core beliefs – it will take awhile. If the McCloskeys do *see the light* and *take the Red Pill* … it will not be overnight.

The only reason why their home wasn’t vandalised and destroyed, and why their dog is still alive, is that they were armed and willing to defend their property.’

Antifa, BLM, and all the other essentially terror groups aren’t so brave when group force is met with armed defence. Since the couple were not restricted in use of firearms by a mayor or city council. the thugs realised that wearing a mask, a disguise, or carrying a bottle of urine won’t help them.

Pathetic couple: Gun-owning Democrats AND BLM supporters! Talk about confused identity! Don’t know whether to sympathize with them or say they deserve this altercation with the forces of evil their party helped create. Yeah – I go with the latter. But it’s clear that the older Dems have, in their decades-long liberal ideas and politics, now reached the age where THEY are the targets of the young anarchists: FINALLY we get some acknowledgement that even Democrats are filthy rich and well-off – things which piss off the ingrate-bastard rebels who march in the streets.

please cite reference sources URLs to help me repeat the claim: “the couple are hardcore Democrats – party of gun control.” i tried to find proof of such after the incident and found zip. in fact, it was another with same name who was the democrat doner.
