July 3, 2020 | Frieda Powers
The St. Louis couple who defended their home from Black Lives Matter protesters is now facing the condemnation of neighbors.
More than two dozen of Mark and Patricia McCloskey’s neighbors wanted to be clear they did not support the weapons-carrying couple who gained attention in a widely-seen video defending their home from protesters who broke through a gate to enter the private neighborhood on Sunday.
A letter was released from residents of Westmoreland Place on Wednesday condemning the “horrific event†and the actions of the Central West End couple, according to KMOV.
“Westmoreland Place and its adjoining street Portland Place are a historic neighborhood within the City of St. Louis, Missouri,†the letter signed by 38 neighbors read.
“From many walks of life, people choose to make this neighborhood home for many reasons, including the sincerity, empathy and neighborliness exhibited by the vast majority of those who live here,†the letter continued.
