“Every single human being that was in front of my house was a criminal trespasser. They broke down our gate. They trespassed on our property. Not a single one of those people is now charged with anything. We’re charged with felonies that could cost us four years of our lives and our law licenses," he said.

I thought it was the DA's office that tampered with the evidence by reconfiguring the pistol so it could shoot.

 

[Deplorable Me]

With the system clearly broken things will only go from bad to worse.

The system only works when most people trust it.

But, go on, keep poking the bear.

And when they're acquitted the mob will riot and loot and.burn down their home.

Tick tok, tick tok.

Justice? Where is the "justice" in the justice system here?

Justice? Where is the "justice" in the justice system here?

You must mean the "Just Us" system.

We aren't part of the "us."

 

[Dr. Evil]

So, what time do the law abiding hard working people riot and loot over this?

Ummmm......never.

 

[livingston]

welcome to Biden's America folks

 

[Acer-m14]

a grand jury can make charges on a ham sammy ..

 

[Grimscale]

So, what time do the law abiding hard working people riot and loot over this?

What the law-abiding need to do, instead of rioting like certain groups do, is march downtown and perform a citizen's arrest on the D.A. and anyone else involved.
Peacefully. (I mean the real definition of "peaceful", not Antifa's version).

The system is going to create a number of Paul Kerseys.

So now only people with plentiful assets and a good attorney will be able to defend themselves and their property. For the rest of us, it will take all we have earned over a life time to stay out of prison, and even then it is a coin toss. That is the message being sent here.

A well regulated Bar Association, being necessary to the security of a fascist State, the right of the people to keep and bear Attorneys, shall not be infringed.

If people start to believe that, then they will stop calling the police and start taking their chances just making the problem go away.


Ultimately people call the police after a defensive incident because they think their chances in court are better than their chances of disposing of the body.

If the perception of that ever changes, things will suddenly be very different.

 

[Robin]

Maybe some, a small minority, the vast majority will knuckle under.

This is SO wrong. I’m disgusted by this. We are under direct attack.

 

[pjzwtl]

Their hope is to make examples of folks who dare defend themselves, using the legal system to beat down dissenters. Total statist bullshit

 

[Robin]

Yep, even if you win, the process wipes you out. And, they are well aware of it.
Robin

 

[GOPerfect]

Am I the only one here who thinks this is awesome??

 

[Nevar]

The out come of this will greatly effect The Joe/Jane average citizen trying to defend there families lives [ unless they are hero PD members]
Prediction ++++++++++ if this goes bad for them The rioters and looters will feel more entitled to do what ever they wish

 

[Defilade]

I will just police my brass.

 

[GOYABEAN]

would we expect anything different especially when we've allowed the communist party full control over our country

Am I the only one here who thinks this is awesome??

Not as long as it turns out as I hope

Governor promises pardon for Mark and Patricia McCloskey

Mike Parson, Missouri governor, promises pardon for Mark and Patricia McCloskey

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said Wednesday he “most certainly would” pardon a St. Louis couple if they are convicted of gun charges after waving guns at protesters walking in front of their home this summer.

LIBERTY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said Wednesday he “most certainly would” pardon a St. Louis couple if they are convicted of gun charges after waving guns at protesters walking in front of their home this summer.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey were indicted Tuesday on charges of unlawful use of a weapon and tampering with evidence arising from their confrontation with the demonstrators in their private neighborhood.

Parson had said earlier that he would pardon the couple and he repeated that pledge during a news conference Wednesday.

“We’ll let it play out and see how this all comes out in the courts, but I stand by what I said,” he said.

 

[Criticalt]

Not only should the governor pardon them if found guilty but the Missouri attorney general should prosecute the DA for her involvement in the shady handling of evidence. I heard the AG say he might in an interview.
Bitch has balls, the AG, the governor and most citizens of Missouri think she broke the law and want her stopped.

 

[Acer-m14]

I have read that the Governor is up for reelection soon and if he looses .. no pardon ...

 

[Onegunnotenough]

Unless there are circumstances not known to us the M"s will be exonerated. The law is the law AnD all this was done for publicity and to scare gun owners . Period. Mickey Mouse as the lawyer could win.As long as he shows criminal intent,gate broken into, they had weapons too im told. Sign states private property etc. I don't think they ever pointed the firearms directly either. Would be very surprised if they got convicted. Only another idiot liberal trying to make a name for themselves.

You misunderstand the plan.

They will be acquitted of course. But the process *is* the punishment.

How would you like to win a court case like theirs ?

Could you even afford to ?
