St. Louis Lawyer Who Pointed Gun at Black Lives Matter Protesters Endorses Missouri Senate Bill 666,

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Dubbed the ‘Make Murder Legal Act’

Mark McCloskey, an attorney and pardonee-turned-Senate candidate, is leveraging his gun-hero status to support a Missouri bill nicknamed the “Make Murder Legal Act” by its opponents. The legislation, which happens to be numbered S.B. 666, is a Republican-driven effort to upend one of the most standard procedures in criminal law and to expand Missouri’s “Castle Doctrine.”

You’ll likely remember McCloskey as the lawyer who, along with his attorney wife Patricia McCloskey, brandished weapons as Black Lives Matter protesters marched through their gated community in June 2020 following George Floyd’s death. The couple pleaded guilty to firearm charges but, but Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) pardoned each of the McCloskeys after their initial twin guilty pleas.

Parson’s widely-criticized decision to pardon the McCloskeys was ostensibly based on Missouri’s “Castle Doctrine,” which authorizes individuals to show force against intruders and trespassers. Now, McCloskey has endorsed a revamped self-defense law that would make it harder for the government to prosecute offenders and even some violent criminals in Missouri.

The McCloskeys attended a Missouri Senate hearing on Wednesday as S.B. 666 was debated.

4. An a&&hole, who pointed (and his wife) their guns at my fellow neighbors who were simply

walking by their house in the Central West End in STLMO. Idiots and thugs, both of them. I hope that neighbors, and everybody
else ignores them, avoid them, etc., which from what I've heard, they are. They do not have what it takes to be a resident of STLMO. Personally, I wish they would leave the city.
