The home of St. Louis couple, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who protected their property from violent rioters and looters last month, was raided by the police. A video showing the couple out in front of their home holding weapons and intimidating the mob who have broken through the gate of their community and are trespassing became viral. The couple claimed that the mob threatened them, which was very likely because the protestors are just a group of looters who are waiting for an excuse to cause destruction.

The couple came out with the husband brandishing a rifle while the wife was armed with a pistol. Their action caused controversy with leftists saying that they should not have threatened the protestors. St. Louis Prosecutor Kimberly Gardner went so far as to defend the mob and put the blame on the couple. “I am alarmed at the events that occurred over the weekend, where peaceful protestors were met by guns,” Gardner said. The couple came under investigation by the police, the same police who did not protect them from the mob that broke through their neighborhood.

The police were able to obtain a search warrant and raided their home. The rifle that the husband in the video has been seized. Gardner seems bent on persecuting the couple for doing what they can to protect the property. She claims that the protesters were peaceful and forgot to mention how they broke through the gate of the community and were threatening the couple. Gardner vowed to protect the rioters at all costs and that anyone who tries to resist them will be prosecuted by her office.

The actions of the authorities in St. Louis are sending out a strong racist message. Officials are going after the rights of White people in the city. They are also going after the ordinary law-abiding citizens while protecting those who are breaking the law.
