Under the agreement, Mark McCloskey pleaded guilty to assault in the fourth degree and Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to harassment in the second degree, according to aThe couple must pay fines of $750 and $2,000 and hand over their weapons to state officials so they can be destroyed. As part of Callahan's decision to offer the lesser charges, the special prosecutor considered the couple's ages, their lack of criminal record, the fact that they called police before walking out armed to confront the crowd, and the fact no one was hurt and no shots were fired.

Mark McCloskey's Senate campaign has been mostly centered on the incident, using the slogan"I will never back down." On his campaign website, the attorney also claims that he"stood up to the mob."In his statement, which was distributed by his Senate campaign, McCloskey characterized Thursday's criminal conviction as a victory and also mischaracterized the circumstances around the case.

California misdemeanor: theft of $950 worth of property. Missouri misdemeanor: defending one’s property.

Misdemeanor charge White privilege at its best as anyone of colour would have been a felony charge and jail time. But at least they have to surrender the guns,

The protestors were simply walking by their home, if they had stayed in their home none of this would have happened but they chose to act like a couple of psychos and went outside waving guns around. They should never be allowed to own guns again and should get psychiatric help.

That’s awesome 👏

The couple will be destroyed.

Justice!
