© Laurie Skrivan/St. Louis Post-Dispatch via APArmed homeowners Mark and Patricia McCloskey confront protesters marching to St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson's house in the Central West End of St. Louis. The figure on the right is holding a microphone.
5 On Your Side has learned St. Louis police officers executed a search warrant Friday evening at the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the Central West end couple who confronted protesters with weapons in June.
Sources told 5 On Your Side that police seized one of the weapons, the rifle, from the couple and they told police their attorney has the pistol seen in photos.
5 On Your Side is not aware of any charges against the McCloskeys at this time, and the warrant served Friday evening was just for the guns.
Late Friday evening 5 On Your Side confirmed attorney Al Watkins was no longer representing the McCloskeys, and that attorney Joel Schwartz had taken over. Schwartz confirmed a search warrant was issued at 8 p.m. Friday night, but would not say what was taken from the home. Schwartz also said he does not know where the handgun is.
Schwartz told 5 On Your Side he does not believe charges are warranted against the McCloskeys and that he hopes to meet with St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner's office next week, but that there is no official appointment at this time.
Generally, pointing a gun at someone is automatically a felony assault as it should be. Those who carry firearms must be aware of this and NEVER POINT YOUR FIREARM AT ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING AND ABLE TO DESTROY INSTANTLY. (The 'willing' means that they have become an imminent threat - see, e.g., the 'poor, innocent' {sic!: } Georgia - "I be jest a runnin in my Timberlands"- (and fresh from a burglary), Jogger's case.(Infra.) It shows the violation of the stupidity statute by trying to grab a gun that is pointed at you, because at that point, they are a deadly threat to the person who is holding the gun, which makes pulling the trigger legal. (The issue already being 'do you have the 'right' to steal a weapon from one who is attacking you? Depends upon if they are acting rightfully or wrongfully, et al., ad nauseam.)
RC's (so far) "Infallible" Forecast(Re McCloskeys:
A-The H will NOT be charged. Why? If he pointed his rifle at anyone, there would have been a thousand pictures; there are none. BUT,
B- Because the W did appear to point her pistol (looked like a .32 auto - anyone know?) in the 'general direction' of the protesters, and because, in general, one doesn't have the right to shoot mere trespassers - which is how this AA/EE Prosecutor Bitch will frame that mob - (after all, despite being armed, no one disarmed them & there was no proof that I've seen of them being armed - THEN she (bitch) can pretend that: 1) They weren't armed; and 2) et fucking al. ...She can force a trial, and will.
Sadly, thus, The poor dumb wife will plead out to a lesser charge. Why? Because there will be 'enough to go to trial, in St. Lousi MO, and "she's a non-PC white bitch." Nuff said.
Someone please remind me of this when 'resolved.'

*I say 'resolved' because, e.g., Bill Cosby had every right under law to believe that any all ancient cases against him were resolved, but they did the "let's rewrite a law so as to allow bitches to sue him for something that happened long ago, even before the expiration of the longer civil statute of limitations; & THEN they changed the Criminal SOL to mimic same so as to allow incarceration.*
**I'd bet >60% that Cosby, early on, received an ultimately incorrect legal opinion by a lawyer who believed that the law said what it meant and vice versa but who was unaware of the PC Controlled irrationality which has taken over REALITY!
