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.

I feel bad for them and others that did the right thing by arming themselves but they should’ve went a step further and realized how surrounded they would be in that real estate. They should’ve got out a long time ago.

Local reporting says the mob was on its way to the mayor’s house.

The mayor lives in a gated community...?

Apparently, Ann, the mob was on its way to the mayor’s house.

The mayor of St. Louis lives in a gated community.

Imagine that.

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

Yes.
We are living in strange times indeed. Never seen anything like it in my life.
If heaven forbid Trump loses in November, God help us.

They have said they will come to the suburbs.

I do believe they will before the year is out.

...a statement was read by the two that said that they were afraid for their lives, it’s not about race, the people in the crowd scaring them the most were white, they support BLM, and they hope that this incident doesn’t take away from the groups very important message.

Translation: We're with you so please don't come back and burn down our house (but we're voting for Trump in November).

Say what you will about this guy, he’s clearly about to shoot his wife’s tits off with his poor muzzle discipline.

“ Dunno about that. Hannity covered the story tonight at the conclusion a statement was read by the two that said that they were afraid for their lives, it’s not about race, the people in the crowd scaring them the most were white, they support BLM, and they hope that this incident doesn’t take away from the groups very important message.”

Lawyers that live in a huge mansion like that aren’t stupid. They have to say the right things to not be professionally and personally destroyed over protecting their lives and property.

But IMHO their behavior in the voting booth may change.

If the march/protest was a sanctioned event, then 911 will not dispatch the cops as evidenced in the 911 call a few days earlier.

“We would suggest you call up city hall to let them know about your frustrations,” the dispatcher said.

It looks to me like a 30-round magazine.

20, I think. 30 is a curved "banana" mag.

Went back for another look; it does appear curved.

NOT a future Trump voter. Democrats are incapable of learning if they could learn they wouldn’t be Democrats

I definitely hope so. I look forward to hearing from them if indeed they are going to be interviewed. Above everything, I hope that this act starts to wake Americans up and encourages them to take a stand against this so-called movement. The populous has been abandoned by both the left and right on this. A message needs to be sent that the American way of life is worth fighting for.
