If an inexperienced person is going to point a loaded firearm at another human being with their finger on the trigger you'd better have a good excuse. People banging a drum on your sidewalk isn't good enough. They should have stayed inside the protesters would have walked right by.

No, I didn't make that up.

I've read both, also that the protesters called the police on them.

The McCloskeys said they were “in fear for our lives” and that’s why they pulled the guns out.

“It was like the storming of the Bastille, the gate came down and a large crowd of angry, aggressive people poured through,” Mark McCloskey said. “I was terrified that we’d be murdered within seconds. Our house would be burned down, our pets would be killed.”

Mark said they called 911 and grabbed their guns as they heard the crowd approaching their private, gated community on Portland Place. However, police told News for they received no 911 calls from that street during the time of the incident.

Now watch the video, it doesn't match the timeline and look at the gate.



You know it's really lucky Mark McCloskey is a 63-year-old White man with a real AR-15, as opposed to a 12-year-old Black child playing with a toy gun in a park, otherwise the police may have shot him dead.

Wait until Kevin sees the personal insults. He hates those.

Edit - I forgot you are a Moderator - another hypocrite.
what insults? an opposing view is an insult?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Maybe they called police directly, not 911

It's about time people stand up for what is right and defend against those who threaten others.

Those 2 are not being charged but give the liberals enough time and they will think up some reason down the road. I don't understand how anyone can defend a mob like that.

Are you referring to the one in the mob loading a magazine in his Glock and racking the slide?

The homeowners were getting out front on the trouble to be pre-emptive of any violence against them, they were alone with no help. I say that is good enough given the circumstances. Yes their choice to go outside may not have been the best, but it was also not wrong.

The only mention of their whiteness I've read came from their attorney who called them "My clients, as melanin-deficient human beings."

No, I didn't make that up.
"If an inexperienced person is going to point a loaded firearm at another human being with their finger on the trigger you'd better have a good excuse'

Agreed. Trespassers threatening to kill him and his dog and threatening to burn his house, in the immediate wake of what took place there, would qualify, wouldn't it?. A police captain was murdered not long before.

The couple say that's what happened. Even Chris Cuomo, that right wing nut, conceded when interviewing the husband, that the mob broke into where they don't belong.

Let's let the process play out before we make them out to be horrible people. Tell me why that's wrong.

"The only mention of their whiteness "

You're a liar. I saw multiple reports on CNN and MSNBC that made a big deal of their skin color.

Yes you did. Here are links to stories that make an issue of their whiteness. You are so beyond full-of-sh*t when your side is in the wrong, aren't you? Do you actually urinate down your leg when your side is wrong, and you know it, because you know you can't admit it, Spence?

Pete says there were no race riots before Trump started tweeting, Paul tattling again, and you denying that the liberal media is making an issue of their skin color.

When you post a good % are about how liberals are sheep yet you seem like you need your guns bc you are afraid. 4 posts in a row - you're all riled up.

You don't think calling someone a Puke isn't an insult? Looks like you are the one with the comprehension problem. Post the rules again you hypocrite.

It is a little hard to hold this family to too high a standard in a city where they experienced what they did when Ferguson happened. Many people in that city are still scarred from the chaos that devolved during that event. After I heard the guy recall that event, I kind gained some empathy for what they may have been feeling when that group started marching by their house...

This one is complicated.

That being said, he and his wife looked like idiots standing outside with guns pointed at people... just hold the guns but stay inside...

But I'm not going to let them looking like fools take away from the legitimacy of how they probably felt... Tough one...

Weren't you the one who lied about burning fishing spots? How sleazy is that.

I wonder if my wife will pay for the gas for the boat?

Sounds like a responsible CCW. Peaceful protest confronted by two people screaming at you branding weapons. One slip of the finger by Karen and he could have gone full on mad minute (well maybe 10 seconds) with that AR.

Actually they were escalating tensions and it could have ended tragically. I'm not saying I can't understand why they were concerned, but in all the videos I've seen the group (not a mob) was just chanting, drumming and walking forward aside from those filming. Nobody was advancing on their property.

And to the reason why they were there in the first place. The idiot mayor lives a block away in the same gated community.

at least not after their show of defense but add some context to it all and you may be able to have some understanding.

I saw a man in the video trying to herd others away from that home, so it looked to me that not all those trespassers were there to do harm or at least had some common sense to realize they should not egg these people on and should leave the area.

Those home owners had every right to be armed to protect their property..

But thats not what they were doing .. they were brandishing their weapons pointing them directly at protesters..in a threatening manner .. they are luckly no one else was armed they would have been justified pointing their gun back


Seeing them as acting in selfdefense are is BS its making excuses pepple do the same for police miss conduct..


Next time a Mormon or a girl scout knocks on your door... try doing what those 2 did .. and see what happens

I haven't tattled. I think the hypocrisy from a few moderators here is stunning. I don't understand why they let you get away with your vile insults. Your talking about people's moms, dads, wives, kids is just stunning.

I noticed you didn't answer the question. So what do you think of the type of person who would say someone else is a liar when they know it is not true? Aren't they a scumbag, incapable of being a good father, a good husband and basically a good person.

I don't wear skinny pants. I just don't wear pleated pants because I'm not a fat slob. Do you wear pleated pants still with your body type?
