The Mob Comes For The McCloskeys

While the St. Louis Circuit Attorney is investigating the case and seems to be pushing for a way to charge the McCloskeys for pointing their guns at protesters, no protester actually contacted police over the incident. Presumably, they didn t want to be cited for trespassing. Instead, it was the McCloskeys who filed a police report. I ve written before about the problems that the circuit attorney is going to have if she moves forward with charges, and I suspect if she does charge the McCloskeys it will be a case of political expediency versus a true attempt at seeking justice.

Even as the prosecutor weighs her options, the court of public opinion is quickly coming down in two camps. The first says that, although the McCloskeys need to get much more comfortable holding their firearms, they didn t commit a crime. The second camp says that the McCloskeys clearly should be prosecuted for something for pointing a gun at protesters, and in the meantime, the pair should be cancelled.
