St. Louis Couples Who defended their Private Property From Rioters with Guns, Got search warrant and Weapons seized

[DMK]

@JayJay

Well the only source that was named, Joel Schwartz, confirmed the search warrant was issued, but would not confirm what was taken.

Only unnamed sources mentioned the rifle, and we are not supposed to trust unnamed sources…amirite?

Why would people within their legal rights to defend their property have a search warrant issued in the first place?

@JayJay

I hate to tell you this, but the current occupant of the White House has several times come out in favor of civil asset forfeiture.

So this will continue unabated under Trump as well.

That is not an answer to the question I asked.

That post wasn’t in response to you…or, it was supposed to be in response to the OP.

Weird how it wasn’t.

I’ll answer yours in a minute.

American couple that expressed their constitutional rights to defend their home from rioters who stormed into their property had their guns sized by city officials. America is losing its constitutional rights.

If You vote for Biden This will just keep on happening across the country.

@ksdknews

that St. Louis Police executed a search warrant tonight at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey. Sources say they seized the rifle he held during a confrontation with protesters in June at their Central West End home.

Meanwhile rioters who entered their home and area got no search warrants nor arrests.

I hate to tell you this, but the current occupant of the White House has several times come out in favor of civil asset forfeiture.

So this will continue unabated under Trump as well.

I didn’t defend the search warrant.

I don’t know what the cops in St. Louis are thinking, nor what laws exist there that would allow them to investigate this as a criminal activity.

The McCloskeys never left their property, so in my mind they did nothing wrong.

However in response to the OPer trying to make this a “Biden” thing, I’m reminding him that under the current President seizures like this will continue…and he favors them continuing.

I agree with you. It is a shame that people like this are being treated like criminals.

I don’t think the President, no matter who, can circumvent State law.

Civil asset forfeiture is a Constitutional issue.

They can’t which is why making this a Biden/Trump thing was ridiculous.

However, if this is what the OPer is going to talk about, I will disabuse him of the notion that Trump shares his beliefs on civil asset forfeiture.

This makes me so angry! At Joe Biden!

@biggestal99

Unlawful use of a weapon.

Missouri will let them go.

If that happen in jersey however.

They would be sitting in jail awaiting trial.

That’s why I live in jersey.

Peaceful protesters should not be threatened with weapons by private citizens.

What was unlawful about it?

[TommyLucchese]

Hey, they got the notoriety they wanted rather than being sensible. Good for them.

[bigtwnvin]

Please, this action was local not federal. The St. Louis DA is a “progressive” enabler of lawless anarchists. The murder numbers in St. Louis are increasing yet this DA finds usurping citizens rights more important. Vote her out St. Louie Will St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner get four more years to upend the criminal justice system?

[TommyLucchese]

Hey this is crazy, but maybe somebody should find out what the ■■■■■■■ warrant was for? It’s public record you know.

[hindsight]

Like I said, these two morons got hooked, and now they lost their precious guns. It ain’t the wild west out there anymore.

Yes. The liberal dream- taking everyone’s firearms.

Nice try, the Prez’ stance on “civil asset forfeiture” is in cases of organized crime and drug kingpins.
Law abiding citizens protecting their property against a lawless mob? Hope the ACLU sides with the homeowners, this could be entertaining in a federal lawsuit filed on their behalf.

Warrant served on St. Louis couple who protected property from mob, police...

In fact, police later confirmed an investigation into the protesters — not the McCloskeys — for fourth-degree assault by intimidation, as well as trespassing.

Still, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, a Democrat, has claimed the McCloskeys committed a “violent assault,” and she vowed to “use the full power of Missouri law to hold [the McCloskeys] accountable.”

I don’t care enough though. You guys clearly do. Or is it easier to rant if you don’t know? Hmmm.

@hindsight

I hate to tell you this but it’s 2020, not the days of the wild west.

If I am understanding this correctly, that is the front entrance to their gated community? Threatening the use of lethal force over a damaged gate is hard to justify in todays world. If it was a damaged front door to their house, I understand. Protesters bait people into overreacting… and these two morons took the bait.

You’ve decided.
