St. Louis Homeowner Speaks Out 'The Only Thing That Stopped the Mob Was my Rifle'
TGP ^ | June 29, 2020

Mr. McCloskey explained during his on-camera interview on Monday that he announced to the Marxist mob that they were on private property and that’s when they became enraged.

“Somebody forced the gate, and I stood up and announced that this is private property. Go back. I can’t remember in detail anymore. I went inside, I got a rifle. And when they … because as soon as I said this is private property, those words enraged the crowd,” he said.

McClosky said one of the militants pulled out a loaded pistol magazine and clicked them together and said ‘you’re next.’

“We were threatened with our lives, threatened with a house being burned down, my office building being burned down, even our dog’s life being threatened. It was, it was about as bad as it can get,” McCloskey said.

McCloskey believes that the only thing that stopped the crowd from approaching his home was his rifle.

That may increase the risk for them if they are seen to be connected to Trump. This will just get worse, across the country. If the local and state authorities will not protect people... We might get to the point in which Trump will have to do something.

tactically yes, but in this case he’s making it clear to EVERYONE that he means business and is making it very clear he’s prepared to defend his property and family from the mob and ready to meet his maker if need be.

Thanks for your responses. Americans, esp. Freepers have more knowledge about home defence than most Canadians. You're probably all right about the early show of force. That makes a lot of sense.

I was mainly concerned about the woman — she just doesn't look proficient with her weapon & considering some of the protesters are armed, I thought she was taking a big risk. It must have been very unnerving for both of them.

Agreed.

Those criminals are looking for easy prey. The vast majority not willing to die for their "cause" no doubt.

Where were the police? Nobody called when they broke in? The people in that neighborhood should hire full time armed security at the gate

Tired of City Life? Not down with the struggle, consider 35 acres in beautiful TN, 2 miles from Dollar General ( a small walmart) 11 miles from Walmart, 100 miles from BNA and MEM, Safety first. No state income tax. City water!

I will sell it to you and teach you how to shoot.

The video of the guy defending himself at the statue in California as he his attacked by the skateboard guy and two others.

The video of the guy in the car at Seattle CHOP as he shoots a guy punching him.

After the shots go off everyone is running away and screaming like little girls.

Make whatever critiques you like about their trigger discipline, but also recognize that the rioters have burned hundreds of buildings — but not that one.”

Excellent point. Some of the self-defense “experts” here can be annoying.

Shouldn’t matter who they voted for. They are entitled to equal protection under the law and not having their home burnt down by a deranged far left mob.


Yes absolutely. But given that Act Blue is fundraising for BLM I kind of find it ironic.

I’m fairly certain that’s a different Mark McCloskey. That one works for Mercy Health and donated peanuts to ActBlue. Another works for McCloskey PC and donated big bucks to Trump.
