O'FALLON, Mo. -- Nine protesters have been issued trespassing summonses for marching onto a private St. Louis street in June, a demonstration that prompted a couple to emerge from their home with guns to confront the demonstrators.
Mark and Patricia McCloskey were both charged in July with unlawful use of a weapon in a polarizing case that landed them a spot at the Republican National Convention last month. Police spokeswoman Evita Caldwell on Friday confirmed that nine protesters have been issued summonses but said the St. Louis City Counselor's office is still deciding whether to issue charges on the citations.
The Rev. Darryl Gray, who led the protest, called the citations an attempt to intimidate peaceful protesters.
“We’re not going to be threatened, and that’s what’s happening across this country,†said Gray, who was not issued a summons. “You’ve got local governments and states who are trying to charge protesters, financially charge them, wanting them to pay costs. You’ve got others who want to make it a law against exercising our First Amendment right.â€

Someone ought to tell the Revrun Gray that breaking down a metal gate is hardly the appropriate overture to peaceful acts. It is, instead a hostile invasion of private property and should be dealt with like the invasion it is.

Yep, that is criminal behavior and should be dealt with accordingly.
Let Gray be at the forefront of a protest like that around my neighborhood and he may not be around long enough to make it to to jail.

Bet money right now, based on hundreds of examples across the nation, no one will be charged with anything. They all walk free with the power of Soros/DNC/MSM backing them all the way.
No one will have to pay for the destruction of the gate (except the residences).
No one will be charged with threatening, intentional harassment, intentional disturbing the peace, and the intentional fear they brought to a calm quiet neighborhood on a beautiful day because they felt it was their "right" to do that.
In the end the citizens who were harassed and threatened will face more charges than the thugs doing the harassing and threatening. This is what Pelosi/AOC and all the other Rats call "Liberal Values".
Republicans do not represent 'our values' is what Democrats say constantly. And they are absolutely right about that.

Good luck finding someone to take that bet.
