It’s pretty silly that political ideology has become so crucial socially. You can’t just say “Hi, I’m Mr McClosky.” That has to be followed with his political views. They’re darn close to irrelevant. Is it interesting info? Of course. Does it make what they did any more or less right or wrong? Of course not. We may laugh at them for being hypocrites, (if they were in fact libs owning and using guns), but it’s still their right.
Remember that the McCloskey's are both personal injury attorneys that have sued their own families. They live in one of the nicest houses in the region and they sued someone to get that. Truth is just a concept to them. So, whatever they say at any given time is whatever they deem appropriate. Still, I'm glad what happened, happened an I'm glad they are the ones the DA is going after. I can't think of another couple better suited to be challenged in court. Warming up the popcorn.
In general ... personal injury attorneys like to tell “woe is me” narratives so they know how to play the game. They also don’t have huge dealings in criminal law so they will be looking for another attorney to represent them who’ll be looking a dollar signs along with headlines. You’re right ... pull up a seat and grab the popcorn ... as long as the city attorney is dumb enough to press the matter hard enough.Remember the McCloskey's are both personal injury attorneys that have sued their own families.

The governor should have her physically, forcibly, and permanently removed from office. He likely knows which strings to pull and can get the muscle to carry it out.
It didn't work out so good for what's her name running for president.
Let's face facts, criminals are for the most part poor and stupid. The DA's office isn't used to dealing with people knowledgable about procedures or the law, this includes a lot of defense attorneys, they do not know how to switch gears to prosecute a high profile case like this.The pistol Patricia McCloskey waved at protesters who broke down a gate to trespass on their private street was a non-operable ‘prop’ used during a lawsuit they were involved in, so a member of Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner’s staff ordered the crime lab to disassemble and reassemble the gun so they could write that it was “readily capable of lethal use” in charging documents filed Monday, according to KSDK5.
Tell me they're not really that stupid. I so want this to go to trial.
A LEO forum member here was suggesting using inexpensive weapons for self defense. The first thing .gov does is to engrave the weapon with the case #. Even if it was used in self defense, you're aquitted/found not guilty you'll end up paying a lot more money to a lawyer to get your damaged weapon back. Its cheaper to just walk away from a $500 Glock.

I was discussing knives with a retired deputy sheriff at a LGS, and he mentioned that if they really want to get someone, they will make sure that an otherwise legal knife will be somehow become able to be opened with a flick of the wrist by the time it goes to court.
