Can you say, absurd?
The couple in St. Louis targeted by a huge BLM mob last week, has just been harassed by the police and had their riffle confiscated. You know the couple that was eating their dinner, looked up and saw a large crowd of threatening thugs approaching their home, even threatening to kill their dog?
Here is a video right after the event, before the police raid today, taking the riffle you will see in the video.
From Fox News
Today. the authorities in St. Louis executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who made headlines last month when they took up arms to defend their homes from protesters.
During the search, police seized the rifle that Mark McCloskey was shown holding during the June 28 incident, KSDK-TV of St. Louis reported, citing information from a source.
The pistol that Patricia McCloskey held during the June confrontation was already in the possession of the couple’s attorney, the station reported.
There was no immediate indication that the McCloskeys were arrested or charged with a crime.
On Monday, the McCloskeys appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” and disclosed that protesters returned to their neighborhood last Friday – but they were alerted in advance and hired a private security company to protect their residence.

The previous night, “we started hiding valuables and securing the house,” Mark McCloskey told host Sean Hannity.
In the June incident, Patricia McCloskey said, the couple was startled just before dinnertime when “300 to 500 people” entered the gated community where they live.
“[They said] that they were going to kill us,” Patricia McCloskey told Hannity on Monday night. “They were going to come in there. They were going to burn down the house. They were going to be living in our house after I was dead, and they were pointing to different rooms and said, ‘That’s going to be my bedroom and that’s going to be the living room and I’m going to be taking a shower in that room’.”
The protesters claimed they were passing the McCloskeys’ home while heading toward the home of Mayor Lyda Krewson, to demonstrate there.
Soon after the June incident, Kimberly Gardner, circuit attorney in St. Louis, announced that her office and the St. Louis Police Department would be conducting an investigation into the McCloskeys’ use of firearms.
The couple’s attorney, Albert Watkins, said in a statement that the couple did not arm themselves until after they began feeling threatened.
“My clients didn’t sit on their front stoop with guns. … No firearms were on them at the time that they, were, as property owners standing in front of their home,” he said. “It was not until they basically were in a position of seeing and observing violence, recklessness, lawbreaking, and knowing that the police were not going to be doing anything.”
This is not how America works unless you hate the second amendment and want to punish those who use their weapons when they feel at risk? This is another rogue elected DA, trying to make a name for themself. When the police are crooked, the justice system comes to a screeching halt.

there is a video that clearly shows they was threatened and they was just protecting their lives and their property-NO shots were fired and nobody was hurt -so there is no case to even be dealt with -IF prosecutor tries to charge them with anything-he needs removed from his position ASAP-and it also was wrong to seize their guns -he needs to sue the city

Kimberly Gardner needs to have her law license taking away from her. I hope they sue her for everything she has.
