Maybe justice will prevail after all. Now will George Soros keep giving Kim Gardner his financial support or shift it to some other Leftist?
A circuit judge has just disqualified the prosecuting DA from the McCloskey case ... and her entire office.
He doesn’t pull punches about her politicizing and fundraising around the case. So that means this goes to a different prosecutor, but that’s what McCloskey wanted, and I’m sure will renew righteous efforts to have those absurd charges dropped.

There's no shortage of DAs prosecuting obviously flawed cases in order to raise their visibility with the voters. Just because you shouldn't, doesn't mean you won't.
I don't think it's legal to shoot people for stepping on your lawn, (trespass) if they aren't directly threatening your life. (I read mixed stories as to whether or not the protesters/rioters were actually carrying firearms, so I'm not sure what's true at that point.)
So, brandishing firearms on your lawn as a mob passes by on the street, even if they're unruly or armed isn't legal.
I don't really want them to be prosecuted. I would like them to get some training though, especially the wife.
Brandishing in and of itself is not a crime. They were clearly reacting to something (their gate being ripped down) as opposed to someone casually walking by and they start waving their firearms around at them in a threatening manner.
Regardless of armed/not-armed status, the crowd is on video saying they're going to burn the house down, kill, etc. It's not like there's any question of whether or not that was life-threatening behavior.
My understanding (which may be flawed) is that the mob broke down the gate to transit through the neighborhood on their way to protest at the St. Louis' mayor's house.

I have one key question about the timing:
Did the crowd/mob make those threats because the McCloskeys were brandishing, or did the McCloskey's arm up and brandish because the mob started making those threats?
The order in which these things occurred, matters. My understanding (which may be flawed) is that the mob broke down the gate to transit through the neighborhood on their way to protest at the St. Louis' mayor's house. I didn't think that they specifically targeted that neighborhood for destruction.

Mr Mccloskey is thinking of running for the Sen seat held by Blunt.
Does say which party but don't think he will be for gun control
