How the Insane Say, "Hey, You Kids, Get off of My Lawn."


Unreal
In response to a protest marching down the street in front of their house, "Ken and Karen", aka Mark and Patricia McCloskey, came out and pointed guns at the protesters.

I'm not sure why they haven't been charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

Oh, I forgot. They are white and rich, so the law does not apply to them:
Two years ago, Mark and Patricia McCloskey made local headlines when they raised the curtain on the decades-long renovation of their palatial and historic St. Louis home.

On Sunday, the home was the backdrop of different attention-grabbing scene: Mark brandishing a semiautomatic rifle as protesters en route to the mayor’s home approached nearby. Patricia, a few feet away, was seen pointing a pistol at the crowd, her finger directly on the trigger.

Reaction to photos and videos of the incident was swift: One video had been viewed more than 16 million times and counting as of Monday evening and captured the attention of President Trump, civil rights advocates and the St. Louis Circuit Attorney, who is now investigating the incident.
BTW, while we are talking about insane people, the protest was calling for the mayor to resign, because she read the names and addresses of people calling for police reforms in a press conference, (Doxxing) which was a clear attempt to intimidate people who would be inclined to criticize the police.
The protesters passed the McCloskey’s home on their way to St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson’s house a block over. The Democratic mayor had drawn the ire of local activists and civil rights groups days earlier when she publicized the names and addresses of several fellow activists.
FWIW, I'm with the ACLU on this. The mayor's behavior was contemptible:

Yes, the mayor should resign.
