Judge sends case back to grand jury.

Don’t know if I have seen this before.

It wasn’t clear ahead of Friday's hearing when Circuit Judge David Mason would issue a decision.

And what a great message- "abolish the suburbs" what the heck is that about???

The left does not like suburbs with their individual homes, privacy, automobiles, independence from others, lack of mass transit, etc. And they too often vote Republican. Too hard to control people living there.

She prosecutes less than 25% of the cases brought to her by the police, and she released the looters and burners that were initially arrested back when the riots started. She described the McCloskey's actions as "a violent assault."

The St. Louis Police Officers Association, the union that represents the St. Louis city police, has labeled her policies a “criminal empowerment agenda.” Cripes, how does someone like that become a Circuit Attorney???

The most obvious answer to how she became a circuit attorney is organized crime. Organized crime gets one of their own in a key office, to cut their people loose after the police arrest them and lock up their adversaries. Organized crime's adversaries include both rival criminals and law abiding citizens protecting their property.

Last week the McCloskeys former attorney Al Watkins said he turned over the pistol that Patricia McCloskey pointed at the mob because she worried about her personal safety. Watkins noted that the handgun he gave to the police wasn’t really kept for self-protection. It wasn’t a working gun. It was only used as an exhibit in the McCloskeys’ own law practice for a lawsuit against the handgun manufacturer.

During the incident with the mob, Mark McCloskey had the safety of the semi-automatic rifle engaged and did not finger the trigger. Per KSDK, A source familiar with the investigation told them that police did not find any ammunition at the McCloskey’s home, and the rifle was not loaded when they seized it. So neither firearm was capable of lethal force.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Monday moved to dismiss charges brought by St. Louis’ top prosecutor against a couple who pointed guns at a crowd marching to the mayor’s home last month, He released the following statement:

Following earlier charges issued, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a brief in the case of Mark and Patricia McCloskey supporting the Castle Doctrine law and seeking the dismissal of those charges recently filed by the Circuit Attorney’s Office.
“The right to keep and bear arms is given the highest level of protection in our constitution and our laws, including the Castle Doctrine. This provides broad rights to Missourians who are protecting their property and lives from those who wish to do them harm,” said Attorney General Schmitt. “Despite this, Circuit Attorney Gardner filed charges against the McCloskeys, who, according to published reports, were defending their property and safety. As Missouri’s Chief law enforcement officer, I won’t stand by while Missouri law is being ignored – that’s why I entered this case to seek its dismissal, to protect the rights of Missourians to defend their property under Missouri’s Castle Doctrine.”
The brief supporting dismissal reads, “The right to use firearms to defend one’s person, family, home, and property has deep roots in Missouri law. Self-defense is the central component of the right to keep and bear arms, which receives the highest level of protection from the Missouri Constitution. Missouri’s statutes specifically authorize Missouri citizens to use firearms to deter assailants and protect themselves, their families, and homes from threatening or violent intruders. A highly publicized criminal prosecution of Missouri citizens for exercising these fundamental freedoms threatens to intimidate and deter law-abiding Missouri citizens from exercising their constitutional right of self-defense.”

Apparently they like to sue, don’t like Bees and Gays.
