Judge Clears Convictions of Gun-Wielding St. Louis Couple; Couple Demands Guns Back
In a recent legal development, a judge has expunged the misdemeanor convictions of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who famously brandished firearms at Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters in 2020. The incident, which occurred during nationwide demonstrations following the police killing of George Floyd, became a symbol of America’s cultural and political divide.
The McCloskeys, both attorneys, were pardoned by Missouri Governor Mike Parson in July 2021, shortly after pleading guilty to misdemeanor assault charges. Despite the pardon, the couple’s efforts to reclaim the guns surrendered as part of their plea deal have been unsuccessful in both circuit and appellate courts.
Mark McCloskey has now threatened to file a lawsuit against the city if their firearms are not returned. In a statement to the media, he emphasized, “It’s time for the city to cough up my guns.” The couple argues that they felt threatened by the protesters who were passing by their home and that the group was trespassing on a private street.
The expungement of their convictions is a significant development in the ongoing saga, which has seen the McCloskeys become both champions and villains in the eyes of different segments of the American public. Their case highlights the complex intersection of personal rights, public safety, and the role of firearms in American society.
Meanwhile, on the political front, hundreds of Trump supporters have been lining up at sunrise to attend a rally by former President Donald Trump in Las Vegas. The event is expected to draw a crowd of over 40,000 people, potentially making it one of the largest Trump rallies ever. The rally comes as Trump continues to maintain a strong influence within the Republican Party, despite his ongoing legal battles.
