" 'Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said Saturday that over 100 murders had gone uncharged while St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner charged Mark and Patricia McCloskey.
"Parson defended the McCloskeys, who were charged with felonies after they openly displayed firearms as they confronted protesters on their property, during a discussion with David Asman on “Cavuto: Live.”
"Noting that Parson had said that he would pardon the McCloskeys if it came to that, Asman asked, “Why is it that you have a prosecutor in your state letting the law breakers go and charging the victims with a felony?”

"Parson began by hinting that he would prefer to remove Gardner from her position if that were an option, saying, “Well, it’s unfortunate that somebody, when you get elected officials, you know, under our constitution, they are fairly well protected to that job.”
"He went on to say that Gardner’s actions placed her outside what she had sworn to do when she took her oath of office, however, adding, “We’ve had 138 homicides in St. Louis, 138 already this year. Thirty cases have been filed. So that means there’s over 100 cases of people out there, victims, family members of homicides, that are waiting for some sort of justice, and yet we’re charging law-abiding citizens.' ” . . .
