Attorney Who Pressed Charges Against St Louis Couple Funded By George Soros
By Ken Webster jr
Jul 21, 2020
No shocker here: the circuit attorney from St Louis who pressed felony charges against a peaceful couple who defended their own home against an angry mob had her campaign funded by billionaire George Soros.

I don’t know about Soros but Democratic money is absolutely pouring into local DA races across the country. The result are DAs like this Gardner lady.

In 2016 Gardner's campaign accepted $190,750.73 from 'Super PACs' funded by billionaire George Soros.

The couple should sue the shite out of their local government for letting them to have to resort to guns to protect themselves from a damn mob. It’s some serious bullshite when private citizens are held to task for defending themselves from something their own government allowed to happen and offered no protection in, and the same government is not held to task for their inaction, and IMO assistance in lawlessness due to their inaction.


If the gov't fails in its basic duty of protecting its people, why continue to pay taxes?

The charges are going to get dismissed.

The state AG has already taken over the case and is filing to dismiss all charges.

Why do people keep saying this as if it makes the entire situation ok? The fact that it even got to this point is completely absurd.

Dismissing the charges isn’t good enough. Kim Gardner needs to be disbarred and face charges for violating constitutional rights. She took an oath swearing to uphold the constitution when she took office, correct?

I imagine that as the defendants are lawyers themselves they will be suing the local DA for a lot of money and most likely a complaint with the state bar.

Charged with what? Dressing like an NPC from Vice City is a crime for Joan Rivers to prosecute, not a DA in an actual court of law.


They may have violated the law in Missouri. I read and heard about the Brandishing law, but I don’t know about exceptions or anything like that. So they may be brought up on charges. Probably the highest charge would be something like assault with a deadly weapon, but that’s using the civil definition of assault. It will really depend on the way the laws are written in Missouri.

The biggest problem is that they may get sued in a class action by the protestors for said assault. Not sure how well it would stand up in court though.

Incorrect. Missouri is a castle doctrine state and you can do as you wish with your firearms on your property, especially if you feel threatened in any way.

And they most definitely should seeing as they are the aggrieved party.

But that’s still not good enough. Why isn’t the state AG taking legal action against Gardner deliberately violating constitutional rights? This isn’t some mistaken case based on faulty evidence, she is deliberately violating multiple state and federal laws.

At which point I would counter sue the everliving shite out of each and every one of them.

Just because you're a partisan idiot doesn't mean it's not true.

St. Louis prosecutor ordered crime lab to reassemble Patricia McCloskey's gun

quote:

. ST LOUIS — The gun Patricia McCloskey waved at protesters was inoperable when it arrived at the St. Louis police crime lab, but a member of Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner's staff ordered crime lab experts to disassemble and reassemble it and wrote that it was “readily capable of lethal use” in charging documents filed Monday, 5 On Your Side has learned.
