June 28, 2020 Protest
On June 28, 2020, partners Mark McCloskey and Patricia McCloskey drew national attention when they pointed firearms at protestors outside the residence of St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Whether the McCloskeys' actions were illegal has been a subsequent matter of dispute. [8][9] In subsequent interviews, Mark McCloskey defended his actions, claiming he and his wife 'feared for [their] lives' at the arrival of an angry 'horde' of protestors.[10][11]
