Missouri GOP Gov. Mike Parson said Tuesday he has granted pardons to Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis couple who drew international attention for brandishing guns at racial justice protesters last year.
In addition to the McCloskeys, who are personal injury lawyers, Parson also pardoned 10 other people Friday, a document from his office showed.
Mark McCloskey, 64, pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor fourth-degree assault June 17. His wife pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment, also a misdemeanor, online court records showed.
The charges should have been dropped a long time ago! This was clearly a show prosecution to garner favor from BLM and the Liberal Media. BLM better not break into my gated community, I will be doing the same thing as they did!
Should never had been charged, period.
Their never should have been even charges on this couple trying to keep their property and themselves safe from Rioters, looters, and uncontrolled trespass.
