This is how the St. Louis American described the situation:
Two pathetic St. Louis scenes of white people for the 4th of July, 2020
Earlier that evening, attorney Albert Watkins was photographed sipping a beer on the second-floor veranda of the home of his clients Mark and Patricia McCloskey in the Central West End, near Krewson’s home. Notoriously, protestors marched past the McCloskeys’ home on June 28 as part of an action that included a protest of Krewson at her home. The McCloskeys confronted the peaceful protestors wielding firearms and screaming at them for trespassing on a street clearly marked as private. The McCloskeys called the police, who listed them as victims in the incident report, but St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner is investigating them for possibly committing unlawful use of deadly weapons. The McCloskeys claim innocence.
On July 3, the McCloskeys were well protected, though not by themselves and their own evidently untrained use of firearms. Watkins was on their veranda sipping a beer and chatting with the sort of burly men who exude armed security trying to look vigilant and menacing.
Counselor Watkins, drop the McCloskeys as clients and come back down to the street where you belong.
Yes, because people who were threatened by the mob should allow themselves to be further intimidated by the mob. Moreover, the people threatened by the mob should not be allowed to retain counsel.
Remember my post from Sunday where I wrote about John Adams’ defense of the British soldiers at the Boston Massacre? The principle of legal representation and the duty of counsel to defend a client is being tossed out just as much as the principles of innocence until proven guilty. The mob will destroy defendants’ rights as soon as everything else.
The McCloskeys are private people. There is no reason for this except naked intimidation.
Not just against the McCloskeys but against anyone who thinks they can dare stand up to the mob. The mob will never forget and will torment you forever. That is the message.
I remember reading that this couple are apparently registered Democrats and BLM supporters. I should I say “were”.
If you keep chumming the water, the sharks will eventually show up. Karma is a bitch.
I was thinking the same… kinda dark to consider but there is plenty of evidence that you can only push people so far before they go postal.
Mobs may hold grudges, but so do people who have been cornered by mobs and with nothing to lose. Things could get real ugly real quick.
I can’t tell, but it seems that the mob is being very very careful to stay on the public side of the wall this time.
So even if Ken and Karen did have to hire private security (good ones that are intimidating), it seems that their willingness to protect their property from the mob via use of arms is still paying off.
I do feel for them and I do hope they now understand cancel culture and might be a bit more willing to vote for something other than D.
I think it’s not the “mob” that’s holding a grudge, it’s the “mob bosses”, the communist/anarchist activists running the show that don’t want their show to be stopped by some mere home owners with guns.
At some point, the odds are the leaders are gonna issue a “dare you shoot me” challenge and charge the place.

Possible, and I’d be willing to be a months salary that those bosses would be waaaaay in the back, cowardly hiding while goading their minions forward.
At which point, given disparity of force, stated intent to injure, and impending implementation (intent, opportunity, and means), it will likely devolve into a game of “Tag! You’re it!”, With the first +/- 30 contestants, “winning”, bigly.
