The Morning Rant
Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner announced last week she was investigating the couple, saying she was “alarmed at the events that occurred.”But the mob was not marching along on a public street. This was in a gated community, which is *private property*. So the marchers were actually trespassing and therefore not "peaceful." Ms. Gardner is either being dishonest or is just dumb. She is, in effect, supporting the right of the BLM mob to break the law with impunity. If LE's first concern is to see that a lawless mob gets what it wants, there's something seriously wrong. But apparently she's not done. In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Mark McCloskey said:
“We must protect the right to peacefully protest, and any attempt to chill it through intimidation or threat of deadly force will not be tolerated,” Gardner said.
“My attorney advised me not to be on the show tonight because the rumor is that we are going to be indicted shortly,” McCloskey said. “Having said that, this is the same circuit attorney that released 35 of the protesters that torched and looted in downtown St. Louis but now she wants to indict me. I didn’t shoot anybody. I just held my ground, protecting my house, and I’m sitting here on television tonight instead of dead or putting out the smoldering embers of my home.”If Gardner were honest, she'd say that the reason she's going after the McCloskeys is because they didn't kneel to BLM sufficiently enough. If the McCloskeys are indicted, it will be for a purely political crime. Having said all of this, however, I am finding it very difficult to work up any sympathy for them. I guess I *should*, because, instead of limousine liberals, they very well could've been, say, a conservative Republican family with a bunch of kids. But the truth is, when all is said and done, the McCloskeys are getting what they voted for. They just didn't recognize it when it actually showed up at their door. So the question for them is, now that you've seen the results of who you've been voting for all of these years, what are you going to do? My guess is either (a) nothing, no change at all, or (b) they'll eventually move to a red state where they'll continue to vote for the same ass clowns that brought a mob to their house in St. Louis. It's sort of like moron commenter Tom Servo's relatives in Portland he has mentioned from time to time. They're old hippies in their 70s who think that the psychotic antifa thugs setting Portland on fire night after night are just a bunch of high-spirited kids having a good time. Because they live far enough away from where all of the rioting is going on, it doesn't directly affect them. They are secure in their little bubble. What's ultimately disappointing about the McCloskeys is that here is the perfect opportunity for a red-pilling, but it probably won't happen.

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com.
For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after five weeks or so unless we receive an update. Please remember the Prayer of St. Francis:
Prayer Requests: 6/3 - Clyde asks for prayers for his younger brother, who is a Chicago police officer on the south side of Chicago. Please pray for him, as well as all police officers, during this time of chaos to help them help keep the people of their cities safe as well as remain safe themselves. 6/4 - PH requests for prayers for his mother and father. His mother went into a nursing home just before the Covid lockdown started, and the isolation she has endured has taken a terrible toll. They saw her last weekend through a “window visit” and she is just a shell of what she was. Now his dad is facing learning what a new normal for him will be without her. 6/24 - Elipse (… ) asks for prayers for his wife (and the rest of the family) after her 35 year old son committed suicide. 6/30 - Annie’s Stew requests prayers for our country - that God’s will would be done, and that evil would be overcome. 7/8 - Prayers are requested for Kim and her family, as her husband passed away from MS. He was only in his 50s. Prayers for their daughters, as well.
For Healing: 6/4 - PC requests prayers for a friend named Joanie who just had surgery for a serious rare ailment. 6/24 - Asheville Robert needs prayers for healing; he has been diagnosed with a tumor in his colon. 6/24 - NaughtyPine requests prayers for her sister-in-law, who had a stroke.

Monday's Who Dis: Not only was hottie Tina Louise a hottie, but she has acting, singing, and artistic (painting) skills as well. Her bio on imdb.com is quite impressive. She's done a lot of work in movies, TV, and on stage. Also this:
A unique opportunity pursued Tina in 2005 with IGT (International Game Technology) in conjunction with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, when she inked a six-figure deal in exchange for 80 lines of voice-over work for a highly publicized gaming machine, a MegaJackpots product with the chance to win $1 million. The slot machines appeared in casinos from coast-to-coast as well as internationally.Heh. Nice work if you can get it. She starred in God's Little Acre, her first movie, along with film noir heavy Robert Ryan. They were also together in Day of the Outlaw.

Anyway, many people believe that antifa is just a loose term given to many antifascist groups who are protecting civilization from another Hitler. They are however the driving force behind BLM which is a wing of the DNC.
So I ask, where is Barr? There haven't even been hints lately, so does he thing this is over or is he launching a three year investigation?

The largest line item the committee approved in its virtual meeting Tuesday is a $62 million fund to help Black individuals and businesses hurt by the pandemic, an idea Gov. Kate Brown pitched publicly at the end of June in recognition that Oregon has a racist anti-Black history and coronavirus has disproportionately impacted people of color. Black individuals and families who can show their livelihoods were interrupted by COVID-19 will be eligible for $500 to $3,000, and Black-owned businesses and nonprofits focused on serving the Black community will be eligible for grants of $2,000 to $100,000.
Is Oregon going to set up a South Africa-style racial classification board to determine who is eligible for these bennies?
Oregon is 1.9% black.

Today, the warmth in the room at Davos has all but gone.
The "Killer Xi" coronavirus pandemic has transformed the world and now some of those leaders who were so impressed by Xi's vision for China are complaining of Beijing's state secrecy, misinformation and the muzzling of whistleblowers during the initial stages of the "Killer Xi" coronavirus outbreak, allegations the Chinese government firmly denies.
Beijing is used to such diplomatic skirmishes, but something has shifted: Countries that once condemned China softly have become louder and their actions bolder. They are clearly coordinating their China responses, looking for strength in numbers.

She claims that she declined to be in any of the movies because the series ruined her career, but the movie guys said she asked for way too much money to do the movies and they declined to hire her.

So the question for them is, now that you've seen the results of who you've been voting for all of these years, what are you going to do? My guess is either (a) nothing, no change at all, or (b) they'll eventually move to a red state where they'll continue to vote for the same ass clowns that brought a mob to their house in St. Louis.
Having read further into your rant, I can't believe you got so much of this wrong. They are NOT liberals!

Yes, this. There was something that went viral that said they were democratic donors - it was very poorly researched and based on the same name in a different state.

What's ultimately disappointing about the McCloskeys is that here is the perfect opportunity for a red-pilling, but it probably won't happen."
Two things. First, Missouri is about as red a state as there is right now. Not St. Louis city, of course, that's a festering shithole, but the state itself offers plenty of opportunities to live free.
All they have to do is move to the county, which has its own insanity, but it also has pockets of tranquility, not more than a few miles from where they live now.
Second, these people are of the same ilk as the lady writer at the NYT who talked about how bad the left is. Yeah lady, now what? Where do you go? Do you go to some less radical rag than the NYT and continue to spew pablum, or do you actually, you know, see that the problem is the problem, and part of that includes you?

Donating to politicians does not sanctify one as being good. Often it just means you gotta pay for whatever it is you want.
Personally, I don't care. These people are pawns in a larger fight, and so my bigger concern here is the fact that they brandished weapons, thus opening themselves up to being prosecuted.
Whether they're convicted or not probably doesn't matter much either. The game now is winning hearts and minds, and these two gave the leftists an opening to do that. What they did looks bad, and right now that matters more than anything else.

Yes, this. There was something that went viral that said they were democratic donors - it was very poorly researched and based on the same name in a different state.
These guys donated to Trump in 2016, so they're not late to the bandwagon - and had quite a few other GOP donations. It's all at open secrets dot org if you care to look.

With regards to DAs.
Soros and his NGO's realized some time ago that spending money to get the right people elected to change laws was unproductive. There are always opponents and the intrinsinc balace of power that stymied those events.
It was much easier to spend money on the DA level where those DA could simply go around the rule of law by picking which laws to enforce and choosing which laws to ignore. Or... which people get laws applied to them and which ones dont.
I think, however, IMHO.... that qualifies and both "conspiracy" AND "sedition".

Personally, I don't care. These people are pawns in a larger fight, and so my bigger concern here is the fact that they brandished weapons, thus opening themselves up to being prosecuted.
Whether they're convicted or not probably doesn't matter much either. The game now is winning hearts and minds, and these two gave the leftists an opening to do that. What they did looks bad, and right now that matters more than anything else.

Death stats are a trailing indicator, with about three weeks typically elapsing between infection and outcome (recovery or death).

I disagree vehemently. They had every right to defend their property and should be praised for it. IMO, our side is way to obsessed with optics and it is pissing the public off.

STL-area atty here.
I dunno where to BEGIN!
1) The McCloskeys already LIVE in one of the reddest states imaginable-- Missouri! They've CHOSEN to live in a deep blue enclave in a deep red state-- long after most others who are affluent, as they clearly are, got the hell out of the City of St. Louis while the getting was good. Most middle class AAs have also left.
2) As for elected Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner:
Muse? Lindy made it to Paris! You didn't hear?
Gardner is a Soros prosecutor! You didn't hear that either? Gardner is BOTH stupid AND radical AND knows less about criminal law than my dog Brisket. The turnover in her office is 90% per year! She, & her "staff" of newbies who don't know where the bathrooms are yet, LOSE appx 75% of the criminal cases that go to jury trial. Remember the bang-up job she did on former MO Governor Eric Greitens? How'd THAT work out for her?
Since prosecutors decide who gets indicted, most of them (us) WIN 90% of the criminal cases that go to jury trial. Hell, we PICK the cases. You'd EXPECT us to win.
A final thought: Gardner has a DEM primary opponent named Mary Pat Karl-- a White, veteran prosecutor. Karl is universally considered competent & fair-minded. I expect Gardner to beat Karl by about 70%-30%, because... behold the City of St. Louis, baby!

As such they do provide a cautionary tale for a lot of newby folks to the world of gun laws and self defense.
That they're being persecuted by someone they most likely contributed to if only indirectly and who is surely backed by people they helped put in office is a different matter.
For that they deserve all the contempt and smirks for their sudden awareness of the consequences of their liberal opinions. And let's face it, like us they have had to take the good with the bad. Lawyers tend to be Democrats because of the Dems position on certain laws or the lack of them where they're probably not happy about their lack of fiscal restraint.
Object lessons abound with this case. Some of the negative sort.

That's not correct either. Pointing a gun at someone when they are threatening you or invading your property can cause them to reconsider their aggression. You should always be prepared to shoot when you have to point a gun but shooting should not be your immediate course if the threat will deter someone.

can not be trusted. Rhomboid pointed out that one way to look at things,
is just total deaths this year versus past years. Covid deaths peaked
in April, so including April should exaggerate any Covid mortality. So
here we are looking at deaths in the first four months of the indicated
years. And yet, total deaths are basically in line with the past years.
Year/Total deaths in first four months of indicated years.
2015-2016/878,457
2016-2017/919,548
2017-2018/946,067
2018-2019/919,693

Just looking at pneumonia deaths, deaths may be a little bit below the growth path this year by the end of the year. Pneumonia deaths spiked way up but recently have fallen well below average. Since this disease has hit elderly and vulnerable populations hardest, it likely has moved some deaths ahead in time by a few months but may not impact the total deaths for the year.

Well said.
Another unintended consequence of the McCloskey affair, I predict, will be to accelerate White flight from the constantly dwindling number who still remain in the City of St. Louis.
As the City of STL (which is NOT in St. Louis County) drifts further toward becoming Minneapolis, Portland or Seattle, how LONG are people who have a lot of their life savings, or just net worth, tied up in their big homes (like the McCloskeys, probably) going to gamble that they can find a buyer for their homes, at a price near what they paid for them?

And ineffective. Don't give up the initiative. They shouldn't know your (sic) armed until the shock and surprise wear off.
========================
Brandishing is a catch all term used people that don't know what they're talking about, and in this case you don't know what you're talking about.
Never mind the fact Limousine Lawyer and Miss Pew Pew did, basically, everything wrong from a tactical perspective. And never mind the fact that she probably has fired five rounds in her whole life and he stepped out the door with just enough ammo to get himself lynched by the survivors if the thing had gone sideways...
Where they really blew it was, even in the case where open carry is allowed on private property, as it is in Missouri, their lack of muzzle discipline (displayed by random unconscious pointing in the general direction of the individuals in the mob) and generally angry demeanor was enough for an investigation into assault with a deadly weapon to be initiated by their fellow Democrats downtown.
Without the pointing, they would have been acting in a lawful manner. They were on private property. Full Stop.
As to this notion you can't deploy your weapon unless you've already committed to use it and therefore choose to lie in wait and then blaze away at your surprised assailant with impunity, this is a widely held and dangerous misconception.
Any legitimate advanced concealed carry education course will cover in detail aspects relating to taking (as in detaining) an assailant under the point of the gun.
The reason for this is IT IS EFFECTIVE AND PREFERABLE TO TAKING A LIFE. And, in fact, it is well documented that in the vast majority of instances where a citizen deploys a weapon while acting in self-defense the incident is rapidly concluded with no shots being fired. (This is one reason I am a proponent of open carry. It is a strong deterrent.)
The bottom line is this: If you deploy your weapon in self defense, whether you fire it or not, and you will have technically committed a crime, ranging from misdemeanor, to assault, to manslaughter, to murder. If your actions are not deemed reasonable by the state you will be charged with a crime and you will be prosecuted.
The case law is replete with examples.
