St. Louis Man Who Pointed Gun At Protesters Says He Was Victim Of ‘Terrorism’

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.”

They must have been drinking. Patricia McCloskey especially looks like a Sunday day-drinker. And the way Mark holds that gun…

Fuck them both in the ass with a rusty pipe.

…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.

I am flummoxed as to why the media is so intent on giving these assholes a platform.

In defending Bastille West, McCloskey haplessly revealed that he’s married to the Worst. Marie Antoinette Impersonator. Ever.

The real “safe firearms” fail belongs to Patricia, however. Even RWNJ gun crazies have admitted to being appalled.

Brainwashed by Fox News to believe that Antifa terrorists are running rampant and out to get them. Delusional and pathetic.

McCloskey, grabbed at an opportunity on Carlson’s show to challenge claims that he or his wife are racists saying, “my black clients love us.”

Former clients, Mr. McCloskey. Former clients.

I’m sure that on a per capita basis America has the most fucked up individuals in the the universe. That covers a lot of territory.

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.”

If they were afraid why not just lock the doors to the castle and stay inside?

I wonder how the “reasonable person” standard accounts for panicky overactive imaginations.

He wasn’t killed, he wasn’t robbed, he wasn’t raped… he saw ugly people marching through his neighborhood… the trauma… he will probably develop PTSD…
