Gun-waving couple speaks out
The rich couple who were charged after waving deadly weapons at protesters have spoken out, warning America’s families aren’t safe.

In one of the convention’s weirder moments so far, we just heard from Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the wealthy St Louis couple who were famously pictured waving guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside their palatial mansion.
You might remember them.
Anyway, apparently these people are considered heroes, even though they were charged with unlawful use of a weapon in the wake of the incident.
“Just weeks ago, you may have seen us defending our home as a mob of protesters descended on our neighbourhood,” Mark said.
“America is such a great country that not only do you have the right to own a gun and use it to defend yourself, but thousands of Americans will offer you free advice on how to use it,” added Patricia.
“What you saw happen to use could just as easily happen to any of you who are watching from quiet neighbourhoods around our country.”
The McCloskeys, both of whom are personal injury lawyers, went on to share some political opinions.
“It seems as though the Democrats no longer view the government’s job as protecting honest citizens from criminals, but rather protecting criminals from honest citizens,” said Mark.
“Not a single person in the out-of-control mob you saw at our house was charged with a crime. But you know who was? We were. They’ve actually charged us with felonies for daring to defend our home.”
Actually, as I mentioned earlier, they were charged with felonies for waving deadly weapons around like they were friggin Super Soakers.
“On top of that, consider this. The Marxist liberal activists leading the mob to our neighbourhood stood outside our home with a bullhorn screaming, ‘You can’t stop the revolution.’ Just weeks later, that same Marxist activist won the Democrat nomination to hold a seat in the US House of Representatives.
“That Marxist revolutionary is now going to be the congresswoman from the first district of Missouri.
“These radicals are not content with marching in the streets. They want to walk the halls of Congress. They want to take over. They want power. This is Joe Biden’s party. These are the people who will be in charge of your future and the future of your children.”
“They’re not satisfied with spreading the chaos and violence into our communities,” added Patricia.
“They want to abolish the suburbs altogether by ending single family home zoning. This forced rezoning would bring crime, lawlessness and low quality apartments in now-thriving suburban neighbourhoods.
“Your family will not be safe in the radical Democrats’ America.”
Low quality apartments! Heaven forbid.
