McCloskey reacts after court says he can't complete community service with right wing group

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Missouri Supreme Court this week rejected Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mark McCloskey and his wife’s request to give free legal services to the right-wing organization Project Veritas as a condition of their probation.

The court, in an order filed Wednesday, found that the conservative group, which produces undercover videos of Democratic candidates and progressive organizations, did not fit the requirements of an organization that helps Missourians in need.

McCloskey told The Star Thursday he would continue submitting to the court political organizations that promote conservative ideas.

The court earlier this year placed the law licenses of McCloskey and his wife, Patricia McCloskey, also an attorney, under probation after they pleaded guilty to misdemeanor crimes in a highly publicized gun-waving incident during a police brutality protest in June 2020.

3. Conservatives have been a minority for a while. Make majority-rule matter!

4. Most people who have to do community service don't get a goddamned choice ...

... of what entity with which they do their service.

Make these motherfuckers pick up trash next to the freeway!

6. He is running for US Senate.

I’m guessing most people sentenced to community service for threatening law abiding citizens don’t run for Senator either.

They’re so gross.

10. Remember when something like that would shame people from public life forever?

These motherfuckers act as if it's a badge of honor.

How far we've fallen.

7. Well said.

5. Let them pick up trash on the highway,

or give out food at a food pantry or homeless shelter. Those are activities that serve a public good, but they do involve some work.

8. How discouraging is this.....

you expect the 'justice system' to be effective - apply a proper 'sentence/punishment' to someone who has been found guilty of breaking a law!

And then you find that those guilty are 'ne-fuckin'-gotiating' with authorities as to how they should serve their time!

Seriously? Doesn't ANYBODY have any b*lls anymore?
Have we gone SO far over the edge that we cannot count on our "Criminal Justice System" to be there any more?

We may have lost more than we thought in 2016........

9. Imagine that asshole in the senate.
