Missouri AG calls out St. Louis prosecutor in McCloskey's self-defense case

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt called out the St. Louis prosecutor Kim Gardner, who is handling the case of Mark and Patricia McCloskey. They are the couple who legally defended their property from an encroaching, threatening, and partially armed mob.

Gardner is a Soros-funded leftist and Schmitt is exposing this little tidbit about her.

On Friday, law enforcement executed a warrant against the McCloskeys and confiscated their registered, legal firearms, violating their Second Amendment rights.

Schmitt alleged to Fox News that  Gardner has a history of making politically motivated decisions.

The gate the rioters destroyed

"Under Missouri law, under the Castle Doctrine, an individual has really expansive authority to protect their own lives, their home, and their property. I think the story here to watch here is the local prosecutor, Kim Gardner," Schmitt said.

"Kim Gardner has an abysmal record in prosecuting violent crime, has recently released and been complicit in the release of dozens and dozens of inmates who have been charged with violent crimes, and has a record of making politically motivated decisions not based on the law," he explained. "So, this is certainly something to watch."

After the incident with the McCloskeys generated national attention, Gardner, always on the side of the perps, released a statement claiming the McCloskeys had committed a "violent assault," and vowed to hold them accountable.

Schmitt explained that the McCloskeys did not act unlawfully. First of all, it was a private, gated street, not a public thoroughfare. The rioters and protesters were on their way to the mayor's house, which had been vandalized several previous times.

The McCloskeys thought they were in danger and believed they were going to be attacked by the anarchists, mainly because the anarchists told them they were going to murder them and enter their home.

"This was on a private street, and if you listen to the McCloskeys, they felt threatened, that they were going to be attacked, and that it was made known to them. They made known to the protesters and the people who came by that this was a private street, and they said they were going to murder them and come into their house, and so, as I said, the Castle Doctrine in Missouri is pretty expansive; it allows you to defend your life, obviously your family's life, your home, but also your property, and this was on private property.

"It's hard to get into the mind of Kim Gardner. As I said, she has a sketchy track record of making politically-based decisions," Schmitt went on to say about the leftist prosecutor.

Despite the warrant, criminal charges have not yet been filed against the McCloskeys, nor was the basis of the warrant made clear. The word was supposedly out that charges were going to be filed, so it's now just a waiting game.

I cannot imagine the McCloskeys would be found guilty of anything other than doing exactly what they needed to do to protect themselves from the rioters who have become a cancer to our society.
