St. Louis police have issued summonses to nine protesters for trespassing onto a private street in June during a now-viral incident during which a married couple brandished firearms while standing outside their home.

Police spokesperson Evita Caldwell told The Associated Press on Friday that the protesters were issued the summonses, but the St. Louis City Counselor's office was still deciding whether to add formal charges.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey drew national attention earlier this year after footage of them pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters outside of their home went viral.

The couple has since been charged with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon. Mark McCloskey stood outside the home with an AR-15 rifle, while Patricia McCloskey held a handgun.

Way over.

But right wing nutjobs and members of the Clueless Cult are always looking to elevate some idiot to celebrity status for their rightwing victimhood experience.

Ignore them. If anything, encourage African Americans to sit on their their porches with shotguns. Which is the correct response in a branding war. Except this is real life and escalation means real deaths. I understand this, Trump doesn’t care. Which makes him dangerous acting as a tool of Vladimir Putin against Americans. He has no restraint, patriotic Americans do.

So ignore these two assholes from St. Louis, don’t let them make themselves stars of their own reality show.
