    Well, his current opponent is Governor Rape Dungeon, sorry ex-Governor Rape Dungeon, so I guess it could be worse.

    White trash, just like Trump. Not even money can take the stink away.

    They plead to misdemeanors and were assessed fines. The weapons were destroyed.

    "On Thursday, Mark McCloskey pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree misdemeanor of assault and was ordered to pay a $750 fine, while Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty to a second-degree misdemeanor of harassment and mandated to pay $2,000. Neither will face jail time, though the pair's firearms will be destroyed by state authorities."

    Bet you Missouri’s Governor still pardons them as a publicity stunt.

    That could be a good show, she could interview guests while pointing a gun at them, while he stands in the background clutching his AR 15. It might even beat Tucker in the ratings if they get racist enough.

    Thank goodness they won’t do any time for this but disappointed they had to guilty plea it down to a misdemeanor to make it happen. A miscarriage of justice that the DA wasted so much time on this.

    Week to week, nobody knows whether the guns are loaded. That would be really compelling TV.

    Why? The woman in particular definitely committed a crime. Knocking it down to a misdemeanor is about right considering it was probably done out of ignorance as much as anything (obv zero firearms training). Do you think adjudicating all crime is a “waste of time”, or just the ones that get turned into right wing heroes?

    You have a right to protect your property and your family from intruders according to the law.

    Why don’t you point a deadly weapon at someone walking past your house on a sidewalk and see how that works out for you.

    Sure. But that’s not what happened

    This woman was pointing a gun at people who didn’t intrude on her property.

    I guess if you want to test out the legality of what she did, you can stand on your front lawn and wave a gun at people as they go by, warning them to stay off your lawn. Either the police will come do a “wellness check” on you, or you too can be a right wing hero. Good luck!

    In Florida, you will be arrested for a felony.
