Mark McCloskey told Breitbart News that he and his wife, Patricia McCloskey, are being charged by a local Democrat prosecutor who refuses to pursue violent rioters, offering his comments in a Wednesday interview with Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow.
In June, McCloskey — while holding an AR-15 rifle — and his wife held rioters at bay outside their home in St. Louis, MO. He said, at the time, “The only thing that stopped the crowd was my rifle.†The Missouri couple are now being charged by Kimberly Gardner, St. Louis’s circuit attorney, with a felony count of unlawful use of a firearm.
The McCloskey’s AR-15 was seized by authorities in July by police executing a search warrant of their home at the direction of Gardner.
If convicted, the McCloskeys — who are both licensed attorneys — will be prohibited from voting, owning firearms, and practicing law.
“The governor has promised to pardon us if we get convicted, but he’s up for election,†said McCloskey on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily. “There’s no guarantee that he’s going to get reelected. So we’ve got years of fighting this. The prosecuting attorney — the circuit attorney — has made us a priority while letting 250 rioters out of jail. She’s fast tracking our case.â€
