Missouri Governor Says He Will Pardon the Gun-Waving Couple Who Stopped a BLM Mob If They Are Indicted "It was epic. A Black Lives Matter mob in St. Louis broke through a gate into a gated community, allegedly on their way to demonstrate at the home of the mayor, but trespassed on the property of Mark and Patricia McCloskey. Some of the mob was armed. A lot of it acted threatening. Rather than cower in their home and hope that the police eventually got around to caring, the McCloskey’s took he bull by the horns and exercised their Second Amendment rights: . . ."
"In a sane political climate, this would never have happened. " . . .
. . . "Though Parson’s announcement is totally correct, it points toward a scary trend of executive power being the only brake on politically contrived prosecutions. We’ve seen it with the Russia Hoax investigation where Mike Flynn is on the cusp of walking free only because the Attorney General knocked down the barriers the FBI and Department of Justice had thrown up to prevent Flynn from receiving a fair hearing. It took executive action by President Trump to keep Roger Stone from going to prison for the same offense that got Eric Holder made partner at a Blue Chip law firm. The left has weaponized criminal investigations to take vengeance on political enemies. They are weaponizing street violence as a way of aggrandizing power. They are now weaponizing the use of the legal system to protect their pet street hooligans from any repercussions from their actions. As a society, we cannot survive if this becomes business as usual." . . .

Missouri Governor Says He Will Pardon St. Louis Couple if They're Charged . . . "Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) submitted a request to the U.S. Justice Department for a civil rights investigation into Gardner, arguing that she is targeting the McCloskeys out of political motives. Writing to Attorney General William Barr, Hawley argued, “There is no question under Missouri law that the McCloskeys had the right to own and use their firearms to protect themselves from threatened violence, and that any criminal prosecution for these actions is legally unsound.”
"The senator made clear that Gardner’s true agenda is not justice or public safety, but politics: “The only possible motivation for the investigation, then, is a politically motivated attempt to punish this family for exercising their Second Amendment rights.”
