This week, Mark and Patricia McCloskey went viral when they were caught on video pointing their guns at protestors who entered their property.
When Cuomo argued that terrorism was a strong word considering the protestors didn’t attack him or his property, McCloskey’s response was that he received “death threats” from protestors saying they were going to “burn my house and kill my dog.”

Throughout his press run, McCloskey emphasized that the incident wasn’t about race by saying he represents Black clients.
According to The St. Louis America, McCloskey and his wife are currently under investigation for the Sunday incident with St. Louis Prosecutor Kimberly Gardner saying she was “alarmed at the events that occurred over the weekend, where peaceful protesters were met by guns and a violent assault.”
However, this incident report from the police contradicts eyewitness video, which shows protestors moving through the gate to encounter an already armed Mark McCloskey.
