The McClosky story deserves a recapitulation.
On June 28th, When protesters marched along his private street in St. Louis on Sunday, Mark McCloskey and his wife emerged barefoot from their mansion to wave and point loaded weapons at the crowd. Video of the fiery scene instantly went viral, even being retweeted — and then deleted — by President Trump.
But in an interview with CNN’s Chris Como on Tuesday night, McCloskey said he and his wife, Patricia, were in fact the ones being threatened.
In July the police seized the rifile held by Mark McCloskey.
Mark and his wife, Patricia, were not charged. Joel Schwartz, the couple’s lawyer, said a search warrant was served Friday evening and that the gun Mark McCloskey was holding in the video was seized. Schwartz told The Associated Press that arrangements have been made to turn over to authorities on Saturday the gun that Patricia McCloskey had been holding, adding that her gun was inoperable at the time of the protest and still is.
The couple have been charged, and Schwartz said charges against them would be “absolutely, positively unmerited.”
Patricia McCloskey’s pistol was removed as well, but the DA decided to render it operable and capable of shooting by having forensics diddle with the pins. This was on order by Kim Gardner, the prosecuter.
The pro-Second Amendment McCloskey couple was seemingly framed for firearms abuses to push the Democrats’ anti-gun agenda, according to reports.
The gun brandished by Patricia McCloskey when leftist mobs descended on their home was inoperable when it was confiscated by authorities, St. Louis police crime lab documents show.
However, a member of Democratic Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner‘s staff ordered crime lab experts to disassemble the inoperable weapon and reassemble it to make it “lethal” before reporting that it was “readily capable of lethal use,” bombshell documents filed this week show.
Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says he is ready to grant a pardon if prosecutors bring criminal charges against a St. Louis couple who wielded firearms from their front yard as a group of protesters marched through their neighborhood.
The Republican governor on Friday told a St. Louis radio station he thinks a pardon is “exactly what would happen” if Mark and Patricia McCloskey are charged in the June 28 incident.
Senator Josh Hawley asked the Department of Justice Thursday to open a civil rights investigation on St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner and her office for violating the rights of local residents Mark and Patricia McCloskey.
This is where the McCloskey saga stands. They are free.
