    Mark and Patricia McCloskey, married personal injury lawyers, garnered national attention Monday when a disturbing video showing them standing outside of their St. Louis mansion aiming guns at Black Lives Matter protesters started trending online.

    Mark McCloskey, barefoot in an open-collar pink golf shirt, was seen carrying what appeared to be a semiautomatic rifle with an extended magazine. His wife held a small handgun.

    St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner tweeted on Monday that her office is investigating whether the couple broke any laws.

    "My office is currently working with the public and police to investigate these events," she wrote. "Make no mistake: we will not tolerate the use of force against those exercising their First Amendment rights, and will use the full power of Missouri law to hold people accountable."

    Good for the McCloskey's. The display of firearms and on ones own property in this case may have acted as a deterrent to any sort of criminal actions by the protesters. Having seen how these "protests" usually end up, I would have done the same thing.

    I'd guess if they pointed them that's worse than simply holding them.

    I think they should both be Permanently DISBARRED and be charged with Attempted Murder.

    They both at some point aim their weapons directly in the direction of the crowd.

    I imagine at some point, one of them will end up shooting the other one, so they will create their own personal injury case....

    This was a gated area and the BLM broke a gate. They don't tell you that. on top of that, these people have a right to defend their life and the property. In case you don't realize, Missouri is a Castle Doctrine state

    There is nothing in the videos indicating they broke a gate or even forced their entry into the community ??

    Well they are personal injury lawyers.... it is hard to imagine a species of human lower than that.

    BLM "Peaceful Protesters" or Personal Injury Lawyers...... my gawd it's like choosing between Stalin and Hitler.

    They would have to actually fire the guns towards their general vicinity for that.

    Seriously AJ - can't you at least make it a challenge every once in awhile? I mean - geez. Debunking your posts is like Paris Hilton - too easy.

    The pink shirt alone should have kept them away.

    I have a locked, 6 ft wooden fence and clearly posted no trespassing, if they show up at my door, it's already game on.

    I do not believe that the two attorneys committed any crime but it does not appear that the protesters were burning, raping, looting, breaking windows. There is some reports that the protesters smashed the front gate.
