Patricia and Mark McCloskey, a St. Louis couple who waved guns at George Floyd protesters last year, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and agreed to give up the weapons they used during the confrontation

last year pleaded guilty Thursday to misdemeanor charges and agreed to give up the weapons they used during the confrontation.

The McCloskeys, both of them lawyers in their 60s, wore blue blazers and spoke calmly in answering questions from Judge David Mason during Thursday’s hearing. Judge Mason asked Mr. McCloskey if he acknowledged that his actions put people at risk of personal injury. He replied, “I sure did, your honor.”

The McCloskeys’ defense lawyer, Joel Schwartz, said after the hearing the couple had hoped to raise money by donating Mr. McCloskey’s rifle to charity, but acknowledged that it was an unusual request. “But I think that their conduct was a little unreasonable in the end,” he said. “I don’t think people should view this case as some type of betrayal or assault on the Second Amendment. We still have the Second Amendment rights. It’s just that the Second Amendment does not permit unreasonable conduct.”

With a misdemeanor instead of a felony, they can buy newer and more dangerous weapons! A Black woman who fired a warning shot in the air is serving years in prison and will exit with a felony which will make it hard to defend herself from whoever she was defending herself from!

They seem nice

Mandalay’s engineers staged a protest with motorcycles and marched through the city despite inspections and roaming of junta troops in the city. WhatsHappeningInMyanmar June18Coup

Look at downtown Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis.

I didn’t think white people waving guns was against the law?

Слабаки , а с виду - приличные белые люди со стилизованной укро-шотланд фэмили 😱

*who armed themselves as rioters tore down their fence and threatened to murder them and burn down their house, There, fixed

Sounds about white. whiteprivilege

Definition of entitlement, privilege, and douchebag

How did they get off with misdemeanors ? Seems very wrong her finger was on trigger and his unlocked according to some saw photos/ that was more than just misdemeanor activity!?!

Move to FL

They would be dead had they not defended themselves

They 100% did this because they think it will give Mark street cred with conservatives for his election.

LMAO! What losers.

this is terrible news

FoxNews Really? They needed constitutional lawyers. What a load of crap. Now watch the OBiden bureaucrats give wink & nod for the Antifa domestic terror group to attack folks on their private property while telling the private citizens “you have no right to self defense” ....

You guys are one trash tweet away from being unfollowed, those were not protesters, they busted through a private gate and threatened home owners

Guns don’t kill. People kill with guns and those guns are not registered. People get a grip.

Really? This couple were protecting their HOME against a mob. Had they stole less than $900 from a store there would be no charges at all. This is really messed up.

I would fine hefty to both…they have to pay the victims of all occurrences shooting victims in St Louis from now on

I’m not voting for a Senator that would actively give up his guns...

...'that's a good one!'

WTF?!🤯...how about the rest of their weapon arsenal?!

You mean George Floyd rioters.
