VIDEO: Hundreds Return to Protest Outside Armed Couple’s Home in St. Louis
Breitbart ^ | 5 Jul 2020 | AMY FURR

Hundreds of protesters returned Friday to the home of the couple who confronted demonstrators with firearms on June 28 in St. Louis, Missouri.

“Protesters marched along the busy public boulevard called Kingshighway, which intersects with Portland Place, a private street that is the site of the Renaissance palazzo-style home of Mark McCloskey, 61, and his 63-year-old wife, Patricia,” according to Yahoo! News.

The article continued:

Chanting protesters on Friday stopped at the gate just outside the McCloskeys’ home for about 15 minutes. The gate that closes the private street to non-residents and extra metal barriers blocked the entrance to Portland Place, where the protesters had walked earlier in the week on their way to the mayor’s home nearby.

Inside the gate, more than a dozen men in plain clothes walked the grounds and peered out from a second-floor balcony of the couple’s home. One protester briefly straddled an iron gate as if he was going to jump over, but did not. No one threw anything and no one behind the gates showed aggression. One man on the McCloskeys’ balcony clapped along with the chanting protesters.

However, it was not immediately known if the McCloskey’s were at home when the march took place.

Friday night, photojournalism major Jennifer Sarti shared video footage of the protesters marching outside the Portland Place neighborhood:

“If we don’t get no justice, then they don’t get no peace,” the group chanted.

During a protest on June 28, the McCloskey’s used an AR-15 and pistol to defend their home when demonstrators allegedly broke through a gate near the house, according to Breitbart News.

I’m thinking that they are seriously ‘re-thinking’ their philosophy

I can see how you would get that from my post, but no.
I’d probably do exactly as McCloskey.

I meant that, when somebody finally looses it and goes postal on ANTIFA/BLM it’s going to get ugly all over.

He probably won’t get much trouble.

He ran “threw” ?

The mob in front of his house again are effectively proving his actions were right to begin with....Looks like they’re not trespassing this time,...Wonder what changed?....the guns must have made an impression the first time around.

Might as well build a moat round the castle and fill it with good ole giant, mean, hungry Nile crocodiles.

The dozen or so armed security men helped. Plus the home owner’s appearance on Tucker. They know their faces will be plastered all over Tucker Carlson Tonight if they attacked the property. Not to mention probably getting shot by the licensed security men.

Well, that gated community had best make sure that their windows are soundproof.

Maybe the mayor and DA forgot that No Peace chants don't confine themselves to one side of the street.

The company carrying their homeowners insurance is likely paying a large chunk of the cost for the temporary security measures.

I’d hate to be holding the bag on a home worth a couple million at least...with an angry circling mob threatening to burn it down.

I know the area very well....close to Barnes Hosp, I walked to classes behind Barnes for a few years....very nice area, all right across from the huge city park.

The area will turn into what the nice parts of Cairo Illinois have, from mansions with happy families to boarded up hulks that the city can’t palm off on someone if they will just agree to pay the property taxes.

The mobs self-distancing from the couples property line proves how effective 2nd Amendment can be.

What social or societal change are they hoping to get from the McCloskeys? ....If someone intimidates you threatens you, you have the right to defend yourself and your property.... So they’re protesting the right to storm people’s homes and private property? .... What are they protesting exactly?

I believe, if they keep up the violence and intimidation, that’s an inevitable outcome. Law Enforcement certainly isn’t doing much to diffuse the situation.

We have been more than patient, so perhaps it should get uglier. It would be difficult to match what they accomplish in Chicago on any given weekend.

I like this part. They did not break down the gate this time. Hahahaha

This is the physical form of gaslighting, a mass of people that come on to your property in a threatening manner shouting and screaming and when you have the gall to get defensive they they come back ...point the finger at you and say you are the crazy out of line one..... Unbelievable these people!

They won’t do it of course but these intimidating/ threatening mob scenes would end quickly if just one or two got shut down Fast by whatever force was necessary.

Perhaps they're infiltrators, maybe even patriots incognito.

Also, its fortunate that this couple is wealthy enough to hire a twelve-man security team.

They oughtta get their money back on this guy: "One man on the McCloskeys’ balcony clapped along with the chanting protesters."
