McCloskeys plead guilty to harassment and 4th degree assault

[SteyrAUG]

"He dropped all the felony charges, all the gun charges, and charged me with a crime that said I purposely placed other people in apprehension of imminent fear of physical injury — and, by God, I did it," McCloskey told Newsmax's "Greg Kelly Reports."

"That's what the guns were for. The guns were there to scare people off and make sure they didn't approach us. And that's what the guns did.

Mission accomplished.

Jeeze, just when I thought he couldn't be a bigger dumbass.

Guns are for when people stop listening to you telling them to get off your lawn.

I'm not so inclined to criticize homeowners defending themselves and property from the mob, particularly with the backdrop of mob violence and arson at the time. Average folks aren't trained operators dealing with mobs, but nor can they count on law enforcement like the calvary to come riding over the hill to save the day.

I believe he's now testing the waters for US Senate so the pic and remarks are likely aimed at making a bit of noise to attract possible donations.

I agree that the avg joe/josephine homeowner doesn't have a clue how to deal with a mob like these people saw. Add in what had been all over TV all of last year with the exact same "mostly peaceful protestors" then burning everything down. Plus if these "protestors" had burned down police stations and laid seige to federal buildings, not a stretch to believe they would have no issue doing the same to a private home that was much more vulnerable than the aforementioned targets.

Guess it teaches one to stay inside, keep it dark so you're not readily visible and do what you have to do if someone tries to light your place on fire? Going out for a show of force SHOULD be okay to keep things from escalating but the woke mob now knows for sure that they have the application of any law entirely on their side even if situation doesn't get violent. All in all, sure doesn't strike me as very comforting for Mr and Mrs homeowner across the nation.

Just sit in your rocker with the 12 gauge propped against the wall next to you and smile and wave.

Am I the only one that thinks felones should have their gun ownership “rights” restored?

Nope! Im in the camp of if you have fully paid your debt to society then your rights should be instantly unsuppressed. You can't restore a RIGHT because you can't take a RIGHT away. You can suppress it through use of force like Government does when you're incarcerated. As to the "then gang bangers would have guns again when they got out" well that's a self correcting problem because they would be right back in jail with their rights suppressed.

And they are pardoned by Gov. Mike Parson. The artical states because the charges were misdemeanors, the McCloskeys did not face the possibility of losing their law licenses or their rights to own firearms. I wonder if they will ever see their guns again. Too bad the Wisconsin governor is a useless liberal turd or he'd pardon Kyle Rittenhouse.
