It beggars belief, that the Democrats ( an oxymoron if ever there was one) and their supporters, really think that almost 90 days of violence, arson, looting, intimidation and murder, will result in middle Americans voting for them in droves, is beyond parody. All they have is hatred and divisiveness. Unify the nation, pull the other one.! Anyone else heard the screams of MSN, and Democrat outrage over the murder of Cannon Hinnant, a 5 year old boy shot in the head from point blank range. No, neither have I, doesn't fit the narrative. It beggars belief that Trump thinks violence and rioting in America under his administration is something he can blame on the Democrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, time will tell how the charges play out. No need to speculate. No crime has been committed by the McCloskeys. A crime was committed by the violent mob who broke and vandalised a beautiful gate and trespassed on private property in order to intimidate mayor Lyda Krewson in her private home. They also vandalised the private road by scrawling graffiti in front of Lyda Krewson's house. Many of the mob were armed and some had threatened the McCloskeys' lives. Some said "We are coming back to revisit,". Very threatening and aggressive behaviour, not just "trespassing". So you are comparing one of the actual crimes, not all of them, with a mere accusation that was made for political reasons and has not been determined to be a crime so far. Obviously if the governor of the state says he will pardon the McCloskeys if they are convicted it is very unlikely they will do "jail time" for defending themselves and their property. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So actions that you don’t think should be crimes are not yet crimes, while actions you think should be crimes are to be accepted as such. A prosecutor is acting for ‘political’ reasons but a governor (who is elected) is acting out of an apolitical public spirit. And of course protestors are ‘a violent mob’. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logosone Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) St. Louis prosecutor used McCloskey case in campaign literature and should be dismissed, according to new motion St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner referenced case involving couple who pointed guns at protesters in campaign literature before charges were issued, motion says. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner used the McCloskey case in solicitations for campaign donations before she charged the couple for pointing guns at protesters, and should, therefore, be disqualified from the case, according to a motion filed by the couple’s attorney Wednesday. “The July 17th email drew a direct line from the incident, which had not yet resulted in criminal charges, to Ms. Gardner’s political antagonists and from there to a call for donations to further her re-election efforts,” he wrote. “It implied that the defendant was among those ‘perpetuating a system of systemic racism and police brutality.’” https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/local/mccloskeys-attorney-files-motion-to-disqualify-circuit-attorney-gardner-from-case/63-8fedfaf7-2dab-4d2e-8521-f80064c17f61 So there we have it. Clear evidence that Kim Gardner prosecuted this couple for her own gain, to solicit donations to further her re-election efforts. There is nothing more sacred to some people than their career.

In any case pointing loaded weapons at people passing by does, to me, even if they were verballing threats, appear to be an act of total stupidity as they had no idea if armed persons within the crowd would open fire. Highly probably if fire had been exchanged, they would have been killed, as well as unarmed people in the protester group. Disingenuous? far right people in the US have so far murdered more than those from the extreme left of US politics. I have yet to read a report from the FBI affirming Anitfa and BLM members being the primary movers for property destruction,. BTW which US cities have undergone "mass destruction" in the riots of the past months? Does the msm cover a possible motive as to why the left claims "these two nuts" on June 28, felt threaten and scared,no! One would only have to look at the events that transpired in the weeks prior to the incident all over the country and especially St. Louis,MO. June 2,A retired St. Louis ex police officer acting as security, defending a business was murdered on site,during rioting! Another 4 officers shot! June, Mayor of St.louis, imposes a curfew on what was reported in this video by a CBS affiliate as "violent protests". In searching for pics to substantiate people trespassing on a private gated community, I didn't expect much from the protesters taking pictures!(side note, I'm using this picture only to show where these intruders are and nothing else).

Here's why mike, because Kim Gardner is using the incident to further her political ambitions. Even BEFORE the couple were charged Kim Gardner used the incident in a Black Lives Matter style solicitation for her political funds. Kim Gardner is black, and her constituency is largely black, so she is trying to secure votes and funds by going after the old white couple who pointed guns at the BLM heroes. That is why they were charged with a crime. Not because they committed a crime, but because Kim Gardner is using the incident for her own political purposes. https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/local/mccloskeys-attorney-files-motion-to-disqualify-circuit-attorney-gardner-from-case/63-8fedfaf7-2dab-4d2e-8521-f80064c17f61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think facing with weapons, a group passing by, was a good idea? Isn't that surprising they were verbally threatened is it, in fact, IMO, an act of gross stupidity by the couple. I'll make the observation from the photo you provided there were a few protesters facing the crowd, one assumes in an endeavour to deescalate tension - have to wait the outcome of the Court proceeding on felony weapons charges for facts to emerge; people were videoing the incident.
