Mark McCloskey, who has seized on the national attention to launch a bid for Senate, pleaded guilty to a Class C misdemeanor of 4th degree assault, while Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to a Class A misdemeanor of second-degree harassment. Neither will face jail-time, but will have to pay a collective fine of $2,750 and forfeit their guns to be destroyed.

Plead guilty to defending their property against a bunch of lawless thugs? They must have had a really bad lawyer.

Some of y’all forget an entire gated community gate was brought down by a mob of people prior to these two pulling guns out. If they guilty,then so are the Capitol police for stopping the mob entering the Capitol.

This is ludicrous.

Protestors who threatened these people have been hailed as heroes. What a time to be alive.

good luck
