This is what the restoration of American civilization looks like:

During the Black Lives Matter riots, a roving mob broke through a gate to menace the home of Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who defended their property by standing armed in their own yard. The liberal establishment came down on the innocent couple full force, including absurd felony charges brought by Soros-installed St Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner that required a pardon from the governor.

To the delight of CNN, one of the leftist thugs involved went on to become a member of Congress:

Now Cori Bush and Kim Gardner are out of office — and we read this:

“It only took 3 lawsuits, 2 trips to the Court of Appeals and 1,847 days, but I got my AR15 back!” Mark McCloskey posted to his X account on Friday, along with several photos of him carrying the gun.

Here’s why he went to such trouble:

“That gun may have only been worth $1,500 or something, and it cost me a lot of time and a lot of effort to get it back, but you have to do that,” Mark McCloskey told Fox News Digital, adding he owns other weapons. “You have to let them know that you will never back down, you’ll never give up.”

This goes beyond personal safety:

“Each and every one of us owns a personal responsibility for our freedom and our democratic republic,” Mark McCloskey said.

Patricia McCloskey is expected to get her pistol back next week.

“If you’ve been wronged, if you’ve been overreached by the leftist government — you can’t give up,” Mark McCloskey told Fox News Digital. “You can’t let them get an inch.”

Amen.
