It was scary enough having local governments and a national media establishment that sided with mobs of thugs as they rioted hundreds of times throughout the country, looting at will, destroying whatever they pleased, setting fire to police stations and courthouses. Imagine how frightening it would be to live in a country where these very thugs directly run the government.

Mark and Patricia McCloskey don’t have to imagine. After Black Lives Matter rioters broke through a gate to enter their private community, the McCloskeys prevented their home from being torched by standing on their own property with the firearms that it is their constitutional right to bear. For this, they were prosecuted by St Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, a leftist installed in power by George Soros.

Marxists have not finished consolidating power; Missouri still has an American governor. Mike Parson pardoned the McCloskeys, as any sane governor would have done.

Among the mob that menaced the McCloskeys was BLM activist Cori Bush. Appallingly, she is now a sitting member of the House of Representatives (D-MO). Enraged that her victims appear to have escaped further persecution, she issues public threats:

Our Democrat rulers include some of the same lowlifes who caused over $2 billion in damage rioting in the name of a career criminal last year. This explains Democrat spending policy, which bears a striking resemblance to a Black Lives Matter mob stripping the shelves bare at Target.

The USA will become a Third World dictatorship in the foreseeable future if we do not reverse course dramatically. Mark McCloskey’s election to the Senate would be a step in the right direction.
