St. Louis couple who waved guns at BLM protesters will participate in GOP convention
Source: Washington Post
The St. Louis couple who became famous after wielding guns at protesters on their private street will be part of the largely digital Republican National Convention next week, Trump advisers said this week.
The couple Patricia and Mark McCloskey will appear on behalf of the president during the virtual weeklong event and express their support for him, the officials said.
A spokesman for the convention declined to comment on the appearance.
Other speakers are expected to include former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley, and Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Joni Ernst (R-Iowa). The president is expected to speak from the White House, while Vice President Pence will speak from Fort McHenry in Maryland.

(19,204 posts)I don't think the Secret Service would take kindly to that, but how are you going to tell a gun toting republican they can't have their guns? Most of them would never go out of their houses without a gun in their hands. And they're the big, tough, rugged individualists, right?

"Can we shoot them yet"?

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch: In 2013, he [McCloskey] destroyed bee hives placed just outside of the mansions northern wall by the neighboring Jewish Central Reform Congregation and left a note saying he did it, and if the mess wasnt cleaned up quickly he would seek a restraining order and attorneys fees. The congregation had planned to harvest the honey and pick apples from trees on its property for Rosh Hashanah.
Attention! This is private property
Mark McCloskey left this note after he destroyed bee hives placed just outside of the mansions northern wall by the neighboring Jewish Central Reform Congregation.
The children were crying in school, Rabbi Susan Talve said. It was part of our curriculum.
