Didn't those protestors break property and trespassed in a gated community?

The only thing I’m mad about is that their firearms were confiscated. I hope he buys a dozen more AR-15s to make up for it.

What broken fence? The couple looks like they are on a public street.

700$ fine is better than lawyer fees. Not really the win the anti gusts had been hoping for. That said I still wish they had fought it.

This is full of bologna,why don’t we have a right to protect our property.

Oh NO A GQP without a gun? What is this world coming to?

In general it would be better for the public if they were found guilty or not guilty at trial. This plea changes no one's opinion on the guilt or innocence of the accused.

CSGV Carefully examine this from a holistic approach to what's becoming acceptable and not acceptable. Many say these two are guilty, yet nothing about the criminals openly shooting at night in St Louis.

So these people who took it upon themselves to defend themselves and their property because the government was unable or unwilling to do so and you clowns think this is something to be celebrated these people were 100% in the right

Bullshit

This is atrocious. Since this is the way government is working and police won’t do anything people will just shoot to kill when others come onto their property and threaten. Only way this will ever stop people. They should not have plead guilty. What a disgrace

For defending their home. This is not America.

I think that’s BS. They should not have ever been charged in the first place of not for the leftist Democrats who allow people to riot and destroy neighborhoods. What ever happened to being safe in your own home.

All right now let’s take everybody else’s gunfreeamerica

Great respect for the couple! They are heroes! 👍👍🥇👋🇺🇸🇨🇿

And, they’re both lawyers.

A total lack of remorse, a vow that he'd do the exact same thing again, and now a criminal record (since a misdemeanor is still a crime). Hard to believe a Black couple would have gotten off with only a fine. But then it's Missouri, isn't it?

morgfair Good

Why isn't everyone so enraged when it's Chicago or inner city neighborhoods? These people only weed gun on their own property when the mob was breaking down their gate. Nobody got shot.

The liberal leaders of St. Louis will use any illegal means to kill the 2nd Amendment.

Good!

You’re my heroes Mark & Pat. You stood your ground. You saved your home. And thank goodness you are both lawyers, or “the system” would have bankrupted you.

Total BS

Social Justice 😂😂😂😂😂 they were looking for a particular person at their particular house. It was a mob.

What? Racism & stupidity have consequences? lmao!🤣😂🤣 WTFacts? It was most likely the one & only time they got to brandish their assault weapons!

SO WE CAN NOT PROTECT OUR LOVE ONES AND OUR HOME? BUT ANTIFA AND BLM CAN AND ARE ALLOWED TO DESTROY OUR BEAUTIFUL AMERICA!! WOWOWOW

At least the weapons were taken away from these airheads before they killed someone

Yea, and let’s go out and elect these people for office, NOT!

Big time losers. Never submit to this nonsense.

Thats wrong .... just targetting conservatives ....

Good.

🤣

Too many idiots don't know the basic difference between 'stand your ground' and 'pointing a gun, threatening to kill people who are posing zero threat to you and aren't on your property'. They'll adamantly argue otherwise in the face of this ruling, they know more than the judge.

No thug life or terrorism ?

rolandsmartin Not enough.

You coward Mark! You bowed to the godless system! Psalm 9:17 “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”

You can't leave these poor people alone can you.

I wouldn’t have plead guilty in a million years!! They were protecting their property!! If protesters were at my house, destroying gates, and shouting threats I would probably scatter them fast!! Not intentionally hurt anyone but would protect family/property

They got off lightly for threatening peaceful protesters, who they thought shouldn't be in their uppity neighborhood.

The system is broken

What the fuck man

This should be felony for using firearms during the act of menacing. Why is this not require mandatory jail time or is it because they are rich and white? DOJPH

Remind me who came and took their guns? 😂

He just needed to avoid the felony so he can run for senate.

What bullshit!

Justice! Finally real justice!

Where's the hate crime charge?

Wonderful news. Couldn’t have happened to a better couple

WTF!?

sooo... I bet their guns go into some sort of BLM Museum... location to be determined later.

They pled guilty for one of two reasons: 1) these are minor charges that have no impact on them given their means; or 2) they don't want to waste time and money on a trial when they know that the governor has promised to pardon them, which invalidates this deal's consequences.

Despicable.

AlreadyGonePod Did they forfeit all their weapons, or just the ones police saw? To my mind, these irresponsible psychos should never have a gun license again. Therefore, any in their subsequent possession should come with a charge. There was felonious indangerment to innocent citizens.

I'm surprised...a mans gun is kinda like his pickup truck...you can take my car, you can take my wife, you can take the kids, you can take the dog....BUT BY GOD YOU ARE NOT TAKIN' MY GUN! ha ha

The NRA’s silence regarding the blatant disregard of safety measures with these two (TriggerDiscipline Flagging) has done to damage the SelfRegulation argument over 2A, & driven more responsible gun owners to back common sense GunControl measures than 50 years of activism…

If they were black it would be prison for 30 years. Unless, of course, the cops got to them first.

Ah yes. The actions of innocent people.

Will run for public office in the GOP. Bets?

Slap on the wrist for white people

Unbelievable! These are lawyers and protesters went after them. They were defending themselves and their home.

Lol. Good, cause they obviously didn't even know how to use them. I cringe whenever I see how they are holding them

We now know that a citizen does not have the right to defend his property against the acts of vandalism.

As expected..

this guy is my hero

That how you know Trump was the problem.

I hope they will buy new firearms to replace the ones they gave up. They are facing Antifa, which is a terrorist organization and pure evil. They will need them. Antifa = NoLivesMatter

lmfao

And yet, he is running for the Senate.

social justice trespassers FIFY

Thank goodness

Reckless idiots shouldn’t have guns. So, basically 98% of the populace. They’ll be the death of their own 2A by abusing it.

That's a Start

Trip to the gun store after court.

Thoughts and prayers.

LMFAO

'Mark McCloskey announced in May that he was running for a U.S. Senate seat in Missouri.'

Big fckn deal!!!

'They claimed the protesters were trespassing.' Once they refused to leave, they were in fact trespassing.

Yesss!!! 💪

Fined a total of $2,750…. Good thing they weren’t facing charges for a more serious crime.... Like selling loose cigarettes. Or sleeping…. Or failing to signal a lane-change…. Or jogging… Or playing in a park… Or trying to raise money to go to Disneyland……..

Bahahahaha they had to forfeit their weapons!!!! That has to hurt dumbasses like them more than the fine.

BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE US FORFEIT DAY-DRINKING
