Which kinda damages any notion of hammering home they remained invitees.
Only because you have embraced one of the dozens of possible series of events and refuse to even examine any of the others.

Let's say that a sympathetic resident unlocked the gate and that 20 protesters entered the neighborhood before ten of their buddies destroyed the gate.

Arguably, the destructive fellows either lose invitee status or even never acquired it. The first twenty, however, do not lose their status due to the actions of OTHER persons. This is 1-L stuff.

Of course, the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments here would have been epic, if law enforcement HAD taken possession of the weapon at the scene.


You mean people would have been upset if the mccloskey’s constitutional rights were violated earlier than they already were? Yea, that’s probably a safe bet.

Good Lord.

Taking possession of evidence in a criminal investigation does not violate anyone's Constitutional rights.

Why do we need to consider alternative, fanciful series of events? We have you to do that for us.

Should this have been a criminal case?

They were on THEIR property, a private street where the mob had broken in, and had told them to leave.

No shots fired. The pistol the wife had wasn’t even operable.

If the lawyers had gone out looking for a confrontation, it would be a case. The mob trespassed and brought it to them.

Persecuting US citizens by illegally confiscating their guns and arresting them because of a bogus charge that is debunked by very clear, publicly available evidence is most certainly a violation of their constitutional rights.

that’s exactly what they did. No one was coming for the McCloskeys. They were going to the mayor’s house

The McCloskeys were eating dinner outside when the rioters broke into their property. They were threatened by the rioters, including a threat to kill their dog.

And the mayor doesn't live on their private street.

But keep being wrong.

And as a taxpayer in the city of St Louis, it's only going to end up costing me, either in higher taxes or reduced city services due to the settlements that will be owed to the McCloskey's.

This forum has spent PAGES scoffing at the notion that the protesters might be invitees, but SOMEONE unlocked that gate for them. 


You keep saying this as if it's a proven fact, when it's not. Nobody - including protesters themselves - is claiming that the gate was ever unlocked for them. Nobody but you.

It's just as likely that the first "set" of protesters bashed through the old gate like a battering ram and it swung open, appearing undamaged. After the last person in the first "round" of protesters passes through, the gate swings back closed and re-engages the locking mechanism, locking itself.

Then the second round of protesters tries to enter the locked gate by using force, and THAT finally destroys it the way you see later in the videos.

That makes more logical sense than protesters feeling the need to destroy an already-open gate anyway.

As an attorney, I would hope you could point out the logical flaws in what you espouse fairly easily. But here you are still arguing something that only you are shouting, as if you're smarter and more connected to this case than people actually present. It's laughable.


*Edited to change wording after seeing pics of the gate for the first time in a while. I thought I remembered it being a different style, but it doesn't change the argument at all.

That gate was probably never locked in the first place

Then why was it broken in half?

Your options are “it was locked” or “rioters did it for the lulz”.

Neither helps your argument.

Whether the gate was broken or not is irrelevant. Still on private property.
