Mark McCloskey said that he and his wife — who are the subject of a viral video that shows them barefoot and brandishing loaded weapons at a crowd of anti-racism protesters outside of their St. Louis mansion on Sunday — were victims of “social intimidation” and “terrorism.”
…McCloskey maintained that he was “literally afraid that within seconds they would surmount the wall come into the house, kill us, burn the house down and everything that I’ve worked for and struggled for for the last 32 years.”
He also expressed his well-grounded fears that the mob would rip the heads off his dogs and cats and eat their still-warm entrails.

In defending Bastille West, McCloskey haplessly revealed that he’s married to the Worst. Marie Antoinette Impersonator. Ever.
Mark McCloskey is, of course, whining (poor victim) and lying about being threatened by the protesters, saying they were armed**. He and his wife probably committed a crime by pointing loaded weapons at the protesters, so they have to lie to protect themselves. I’m sure he and his wife were scared – but that was entirely their own doing: the gated-community mindset of whining Repugs.
He could, you know, have joined the protesters.
** “When the victims observed multiple subjects who were armed, they then armed themselves and contacted police. The investigation is ongoing.”
