St. Louis Gun Couple to Speak at RNC

The McCloskeys drew national attention in late June after they were seen in a viral video brandishing guns outside their mansion at protesters walking on a private street en route to demonstrate outside the St. Louis mayor's residence. The Missouri couple was charged in July with unlawful use of a weapon, a class E felony.

The White House has defended the couple on multiple occasions, with White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany telling reporters at the time that President Donald Trump "said it is absolutely absurd, what is happening to the McCloskeys."

Maybe they'll explain why everyone has a right to aim a firearm at black people.

The Covington kid will be there too, maybe to explain how a kid making a stupid face on video shouldn't go viral because it could hurt his feelings.

This will be one helluva circus.

I'm as pro gun as it gets and can still acknowledge what they did was wrong. You can't point a firearm at people simply out of fear. With that said, if we're being fair here, those that were trespassing on private property need to be charged as well.

Agreed.

To bad all of the pillagers didn’t get arrested for trespassing, huh? You agree with that, right? Therefore, had the pillagers not broken the law, then the the guy would have never came out to protect his property with a firearm, right?

Per your rationale from another thread, it is clearly the pillagers fault and yet you don’t blame them here. Double standard once again.
