White St Louis couple who pointed guns at protesters to face charges

So basically you're okay with the fact that these people could very well be telling the truth, but unless they have some sort of audio and video footage of it...they are boned?

How should they go about proving they felt threatened, in your opinion?

As for proving it, i would suggest they get a good lawyer and if what Silent said at the top of the page- (edit- top of last page)

"I see, so you're just going to ignore the report from the police and the couple themselves that there were people in the crowd making threats and at least one of them was armed."silent

-is true, then they will probably be in the clear.

I just fear that in today's climate that report won't matter.

The innocent couple who did absolutely nothing wrong (and that's a fact) needs to come and say they voted for Hillary in 2016 and hate President Trump with all of their heart then the loonies on the left will finally admit that the couple did nothing wrong.

That would actually work. But fact checkers would probably find that they made GOP/Trump donations or attended a GOP/Trump campaign rally.

Unless they are squeaky clean or non-participatory in politics prior to this incident, it would be a tough argument. Super wish they'd come out and say this, though.

"Why are fellow Democrats turning against us? Even Biden said he would defend himself with a gun when the talked about shotguns. Is this what our party has become? Infighting so much that we turn on each other? We should be aiming our frustration at Trump, not each other."

I don't get it.

But that sounds like dudebro or douchenugget attire. I don't see the connection between Raptor22 and that stereotype.

Help me out here: I'm too stupid to get your joke.

I described items of clothing the guy from the couple had on.

The players into kings line was from Sons of Anarchy

Oh.

and

Oh.

Lol, I just called the husband a douchenugget/dudebro. 🙂

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.

Mark McCloskey, who announced in May that he was running for a U.S. Senate seat in Missouri, was unapologetic after the hearing. "I'd do it again," he said from the courthouse steps in downtown St. Louis.

So their LARPing as saviors cost them $2,750.00. Dunno, I can think of much better things to do with almost three grand.

Doesn't bode well for Larper Kyle... Good!

They shouldn't have been fined and I hope he wins his Senate seat.

They plead guilty, you fool. If they have no problem accepting their punishment, then neither should you.

Pleading guilty to a charge doesn't mean you have no problem accepting the punishment.

People plead guilty for all kinds of reasons.

Sure, idiots should be able to stand around pointing their guns at people. Sure. The thing about right wingers is Everything is a fight with them. Even the obvious stuff. That's where they lose credibility. Don't fight the obvious things like pointing guns at people being illegal, and your arguments might carry more weight in a nuanced discussion.

No!😡 klaw, right! You’re all wrong, and if not he’ll use his tackling fuel.

No, they do not. Before a court accepts a guilty plea, the defendant has to affirm to the judge that they are, in fact, guilty. And that they are not pleading guilty for any other reason other than that they are guilty.

This is the biggest travesty of justice I have seen in a while, other than the SC throwing out all the cases of voter fraud of 2020 election without even bothering to consider the evidence.

It is outrageous that a couple can get in trouble for simply exercising their 2nd amendment rights to protect their own lives and property. It is disgusting how the justice system has become so politicized at the national, state, and local level.

Then again, if they pled guilty then they are basically admitting that what they did was wrong so I guess I don't really have any sympathy for them anymore. Their attorney probably convinced them to enter a plea deal to get the bullshit charges reduced and that if it went to court that they couldn't win.

Though why they wouldn't be able to easily win is beyond me, since it is beyond obvious that they did nothing wrong. Perhaps they were just afraid of getting a jury tainted with leftist blm activists. Thing is, if they had lost then they could've appealed it all rhe way up to SC if they had to where I am almost certain they'd have won.

Maybe they thought attorney fees or whatever would be too much to go to all that trouble, but having your guns taken away is a much heavier price to pay, imo. Now they are totally defenseless the next time a thuggish blm mob comes slong.

The racist, blm supporting DA is the one who should be put on trial and locked away for a long time for charging the couple in the first place.
