The home is a restored gem, renovated lovingly by the McCloskey’s.

It’s a Golden Age pallazzo, made in the image of Italian Renaissance palaces.

It is full of priceless antiques and paintings.

See St. Louis Magazine.com—2018. It comes up on Google.

With all their money, they should invest in a better security system.

This incident reminded me of a scene out of Dr. Zhivago.

“...dude doesnt have enough ammo, fatal situation”


It looks to me like a 30-round magazine. After 10 fall, do you think there’ll be an 11th?

"Wife is untrainable in my opinion. I’d take her firearm away."

Yeah...she was pretty bad with that handgun. I don't know if it was due to the angle of the photo, but at one point, it looked like she had the weapon pointed to the back of her husband's head.

If it is true that the miney dinated to BLM goes to the Demonrat Party, that needs to be trumpeted by—well,TRUMP—and also by Fox and EVERY Trump supporter.

"or they are “saying all the right things” to avoid retribution."

They are both lawyers, so would definitely know what to say to keep the heat off of them.

“they are “saying all the right things” to avoid retribution.”

Are they (former) Dems?

Nice emphasis on the "former"

I’m likely different from you. If I saw 10 of my comrades fall in front of me, I’d be looking for another place to be. Remember, in spite of their bluster, these are not trained and disciplined troops, but rather guys and gals who have never been told ‘no’ in their lives.

it doesnt need to be hardasses

they could be well back and not even see it happen

but if they guy is out of ammo or trying to reload and the mob rushes him at that point, hes not trained either and those house doors and windows arent going to hold anyone out

so all it takes is people in the back to decide to go in after others have taken the brunt

they aren’t heroes or trained they just waited til the guy ran out of ammo

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.
President Trump needs to mention them at his rallies.

Maybe he just does not want the mob to come back, which they may, in greater numbers if he criticizes them. Lousy situation he is now in.

I suspect their statement about BLM was at least partly CYA...trying to prevent future problems and not to look like a bigot.

The guy taking the video was a white Bernie supporter and he tried to use it to stir up more $hit.
