McCloskeys Plead Guilty to Misdemeanor Charges, Forfeit Firearms Used in the Confrontation

Looks like they bent over.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who sought to protect their property and lives from the rabid BLM mob marching down their private street pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and agreed to forfeit the firearms they used in the showdown last year.
Mark McCloskey spoke to reporters from the courthouse steps on Thursday and said he’d “do it again” to protect his family.
“I’d do it again,” McCloskey said from the courthouse steps. “Any time the mob approaches me, I’ll do what I can to put them in imminent threat of physical injury because that’s what kept them from destroying my house and my family.”
Associated Press reported:
A St. Louis couple who gained notoriety for pointing guns at social justice demonstrators last year pleaded guilty Thursday to misdemeanor charges and agreed to give up the weapons they used during the confrontation.
Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment and was fined $2,000. Her husband, Mark McCloskey, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor fourth-degree assault and was fined $750.
The McCloskeys, both of them lawyers in their 60s, wore blue blazers and spoke calmly in answering questions from Judge David Mason during Thursday’s hearing. Mason asked Mark McCloskey if he acknowledged that his actions put people at risk of personal injury. He replied, “I sure did your honor.”
A livestream of the militant mob clearly showed they entered through a gate into a private community.
Mr. McCloskey explained during his on-camera interview last year that he announced to the Marxist mob that they were on private property and that’s when they became enraged.
“Somebody forced the gate, and I stood up and announced that this is private property. Go back. I can’t remember in detail anymore. I went inside, I got a rifle. And when they … because as soon as I said this is private property, those words enraged the crowd,” he said.
McClosky said one of the militants pulled out a loaded pistol magazine and clicked them together and said ‘you’re next.’
“We were threatened with our lives, threatened with a house being burned down, my office building being burned down, even our dog’s life being threatened. It was, it was about as bad as it can get,” McCloskey said.
McCloskey believes that the only thing that stopped the crowd from approaching his home was his rifle.

Good Lawd. This is a smart move. They will save money, not face other penalties, and just go buy replacement weapons.
All of you lamenting this just don’t understand the system and it’s costs.

The fees and cost to fight was probably way more than the value of those guns.

The only people who should be charged are the trespassing BLM/Antifa mob threatening home owners on their private street.

All of us lamenting this are concerned about a much greater thing than the cost the McCloskeys are paying.

Selective, weaponized enforcement of the law. Expect to see more of it.

This is the kind of spine the GOPe always selects for leadership positions, especially in the Senate.

Doesn’t matter.
They just surrendered their principles.
He’s not trustworthy.

No, just no.
You don't believe that either.

I thought they were pardoned? this is nuts they were defending their home and were rightful in most States even without a no trespassing sign up.

If this changed, then I can see making this deal...otherwise, this is just acquiescence.

Never trusted him. He's a personal injury attorney and former Democrat. His 15 minutes are up. You either fight or move along.

They are guilty of harassment and assault.
Meanwhile the ones who trespassed on and destroyed private property are not even charged.
This is America today.
The motivation for leaving grows stronger all the time.

I have no doubt that funding their fight would not have been a problem with outside help.
But remember, they were dem fund raisers and perhaps they need another red pill to wake up.

I don’t think he is clipping coupons and hurting for money.

All these keyboard warriors saying they bent over must have no idea what it's like to go through the kind of harassment that these people did. The man is running for office. Sounds like he got the message loud and clear: You are not safe and must enter the fray if you ever hope to be.
He was defiant to the end and accepted the charges to move on to more effective actions. Grow the frick up.

Prosecuted for defending yourself and your home.

People who are not hurting for money got that way by caring about not wasting money.

They both bent over is what they did.
