McCloskey's punished again...

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal from a St. Louis couple who could face indefinite suspension of their law licenses after they waved guns at a racial justice protest outside their home in 2020.

Mark McCloskey, a personal injury attorney and Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Missouri, and his wife, Patricia McCloskey, drew national attention for walking onto their front yard with guns during a protest of the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

Mark McCloskey pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment. Missouri Gov. Michael Parson pardoned the McCloskeys in 2021, but the state office responsible for investigating allegations of misconduct by lawyers sought to suspend their law licenses.


The Supreme Court of Missouri in February agreed to suspend the licenses indefinitely but stayed the suspensions and placed the two lawyers on probation for a year. Conditions of the probation included that the McCloskeys provide quarterly reports to a probation monitor – including whether they are charged with additional crimes – and 100 hours of free legal services.

In their appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, the McCloskeys argued that the state court's ruling violated their Second Amendment rights and their rights to due process because they were "exercising lawful rights to bear arms in defense of their person, family, and home."

And there you have it. Better make a big splash when you jump in because it will be the only jump you get.

They should have never took the plea deal.

I agree

This, if you're right don't take a plea.

You cant go around waving guns and threatening unarmed peaceful protesters.
They watched too many John Wayne movies.

Exactly. Because John Wayne regularly threatened peaceful protesters

Them two are regular Bonnie and Clyde's, robbing poor protesters as they pass by.

I don't think you're a moron... so you must be intentionally making galactically stupid comments for the purpose of stimulating conversation. This one should be fun to watch.

If they had plead not guilty they would have gone to trial and could have gone to prison whether they were right or wrong. Criminal cases are unpredictable and sometimes innocent people are found guilty, especially when you're a target of political pressure to get a conviction. They plead guilty to eliminate any possibility of prison time.

But now, the stakes are lower, suspension of a law license for one year. And, that has already been imposed. If they lose, they're right where they are now so there's no reason not to fight it.

Yeap

X 3

Never underestimate the moronic views of some people!!

Peaceful protestors, who broke down a gate into a gated community. The idiocracy never slows down.

Congrat's Boco The count now is 9824 to 1

OK einsteins-tell me why they were charged and made a plea deal and found guilty if they are allowed to do that then?

He should have been convicted for not telling his wife to go inside when she held her gun like an idiot.

Oh yeah, McCloskey is another opportunist "republican." Lifelong democrat running as a republican.

I hope you were joking about unarmed peaceful protests. You sound like the liberal media calling the 2020 riots mostly peaceful while buildings were burning all around them. Sheesh!

Because we are a nation of "lawyers" -- actual laws and common sense have left us.

We no longer have 3 branches of government. The judicial branch was the last to collapse. There is neither evidence nor jury presented that is not tainted with politics. This eliminates any possibility for a fair trial.

Well, the Kenosha kid was acquitted and he did not punk out and cop a plea....how dat happen? 'They' wanted to convict him badly....had orgasms dreamin about his conviction.

Self defence against armed assailant is not illegal,a bit different than threatening peaceful protesters.

As was mentioned already the protesters broke down a gate to enter that area...that is not a peaceful action. The freedom truckers were peaceful but you were for them being trampled by horses because they supposedly caused your daughter to miss a day of work...

So?
You cant go around threatening people with guns for breaking a fence and kicking over a few garbage cans-what are you chickens---?

you have zero credibility, boco.

I don’t know standing on your own property warning people to not come closer isn’t necessarily threatening innocent protesters in my opinion. The wife definitely needs some gun handling instructions, but when you feel threatened you point guns at people, cops do it all the time.

You cannot explain why they were convicted if they were in the right therefore you have no credibility.

Well, they were never convicted.


Well, they were never convicted. So, there is that....

Boco, come far enough south ; I'd love to show you the difference between a "peaceful protest" and an assault . Don't be shy.

Spin it how you like,they pled guilty and were convicted.
I feel sorry for you if those clowns are your heroes,lol.

Lots of puffers on the internet.
So you think those two were assaulted? who was charged with assaulting them-they were the ones charged with assault.
Maybe you need to know the difference.

Same goes.

Just stating the facts.

pleading guilty is not a conviction, words matter....zero credibility for you...

you supported peaceful protesters being run down by horses when it suited you...

No, you're not. You're just inserting yourself into something that is several steps removed from anything you have any clue about. You're pretty insulated in a safe zone.

I am a member on this board like everyone else-tough bananas if you dont like the facts.

Do 1st Nations people have any gun rights caucasians don't enjoy up there, Robert?

Bull,they made their point but were too stupid to know it.People have freedom here-the freedom to go to work and earn a living without having their freedoms infringed.Just like the protesters had the freedom to protest-but not trample other peoples freedoms.

So zero credibility for you.

They had support from me and a lot of others when they went thru all the towns on their protest.But then foreign instigators got involved and turned it into a shite show and their support evaporated.

So zero credibility for you.

And answer me this einstein-what were they pardoned for if they werent convicted of anything.?

Goodnite girls,its been a blast.

The only thing that evaporated for the freedom truckers was their rights....that was supported buy you.

The couple plead guilty and were sentenced but they were never convicted by a jury.

i have a business associate who lives on the same street as the Mccloskeys and speak with him daily. he was home when the event took place and watched it all transpire. It was not a peaceful protest and only a retard would belive otherwise.

ol dad

Had there not been overwhelming video evidence, that kid would be on death row right now.

Making more friends in here I see Bozo. Hahahaaaaaaa

OK. So, maybe I was wrong.

I will never understand the Canadian/Britain anti-right to self-defense. Very bizarre thinking. I guess that is why we kicked their butt in the Revolutionary War. The Colonist didn’t understand or like it either.

But they did. typical for a couple of lawers that were weasleing out for the easy ending. They didn't think it thru at all.

Man oh man, did any of you watch this happen live? I did. The gate was not broken they walked right in.
Peaceful protest is legal but that was far from not intimidating and peaceful.

Both sides were wrong on that whole display of "rights" in our country.

I believe that was private property in a gated community, you can't protest on private property. When told to leave they should have left or been arrested for trespassing. I would never had plead guilty to anything.

Exactly!
