He recommended that the Supreme Court suspend their licenses indefinitely and not allow them to apply for reinstatement for six months.Mark and Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges after they were pictured waving guns at protesters passing through their gated neighborhood. During the nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice last year ― sparked by the May 25, 2020, police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis ― the couple drew widespread outrage, yet also praise from then-President Donald Trump and conservative Republicans, after they were pictured pointing guns at demonstrators moving through their gated community to reach the mayor’s home nearby.
