Daily Wire: Advisers to President Trump say that Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who became famous after brandishing their firearms at protesters and activists who trespassed on their private street, will speak at the Republican National Convention to offer their support for President Trump, according to The Washington Post.
After the incident made national headlines, Mark McCloskey, who is an attorney (as is his wife), told KSDK News: “I went inside; I got a rifle … because as soon as I said ‘this is private property,’ those words enraged the crowd. Horde, an absolute horde came through the smashed-down gates, coming right at the house. … And then I stood out there, the only thing we said is, ‘This is private property, go back, private property, leave now.’ At that point, everybody got enraged, there were people wearing body armor.”
“One person pulled out [some] loaded pistol magazines and he clicked them together and he said, ‘You’re next,’” McCloskey said. “We were threatened with our lives, threatened with the house being burned down, my office building being burned down, even our dog’s life being threatened. It was about as bad as it can get. You know, I really thought it was the storming of Bastille, that we would be dead and the house would be burned and there was nothing we could do about it. It was a huge and frightening crowd, and they broke in the gate and they were coming at us.” more
Do you know what else would be a good idea? Parade on stage a bevy of shop owners that had their businesses destroyed, victims of assaults and just common people who live in these affected areas and have all of them recount the horrors and afflictions reigned down on them by Dem run cities who cede power to mob, let them speak from the heart about lives shattered and more to come if Biden has his way.
This won’t stop until they do the same thing to Pelosi’s or Gates’ family compounds.
Don’t the McCloskey’s realize that was a “mostly peaceful” protest, and that the only violence came from white supremacist Trump supporters? Sarc/
The McCloskeys are Dems. I hope that does not come back to bite the person who scheduled them to speak.
Texan is right, these assholes are going to be an albatross around our collective necks. None of what I read him say above is contemporary – its all now after the fact that he and his idiot wife showed poor gun-owning judgement (and handling). Get the shop owners who have been actually victimized to the RNC like Rich said. Also, show the historic thread from Zucotti Park to now about their lawlessness.
