For starters, sounds like this DA needs to go. Her track record is horrible.

And while I was the first to point out the stupidity of these folks, I don't believe they were criminal, and certainly not felonious.

Missouri Gov.: I Will Pardon McCloskeys ‘Without a Doubt’

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) vowed to pardon Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who he argued didn’t break the law and are victims of a “political” prosecution.

Host Sean Hannity asked, “Will you pardon them?”

Parson responded, “Without a doubt, Sean. I’ll do everything within the Constitution of the State of Missouri to protect law-abiding citizens, and those people are exactly that. They’re law-abiding citizen[s], and they’re being attacked, frankly, by a political process, and it’s really unfortunate. It’s a sad day for us here in Missouri. They had every right to protect their property, their home, just like any of us would. And if you had a mob coming towards [you], whether they tore down a gate or not, when they come on your property, they don’t have a right to do that in an aggressive manner. And people have a right to protect their selves, their families, and their property, that’s the Castle Doctrine in the state of Missouri.”

Parson further criticized the prosecutor in the case, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner (D). He stated, “We’ve had 135 homicides in St. Louis since the first of the year. Of that, she has filed 30 cases out of 135, around 20%. And says she doesn’t have the time, she doesn’t have the resources. And yet, she’ll go out here and charge innocent citizens, private citizens that are law-abiding citizens, haven’t violated the law.”

Missouri AG Wants To Dismiss Charges Against St. Louis Couple Who Brandished Guns On Property During Protests

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt pledged Monday to seek a dismissal of charges against St. Louis couple Mark and Patricia McCloskey.

The couple faced down a group of demonstrators in late June with an AR-15 and a handgun. St. Louis circuit attorney Kim Gardner charged the pair with felony weapons charges Monday.

“Citizens shouldn’t be targeted for exercising their #2A right to self-defense,” Schmitt tweeted Monday. “STL prosecutor Kim Gardner is engaged in political prosecution … As AG I’m entering the case seeking dismissal & [to] defend all Missourians’ right to protect their lives/property.”

The professional in me just can't get past the Keystone Kops way they went about it. Any fool can pull a trigger. Firearm ownership begins with understanding one's responsibilities, and understanding the proper use of one's firearms. Waving guns around and/or aiming at people is dumb and definitely exacerbates an already tense situation.

Assume one or more of the people in the mob are armed and this lady is aiming her pistol at someone. Hey. I'll shoot her ass while she's aiming at Bob and call it self-defense. Now tell me that's too dumb to happen in this country.
