Records expunged for St. Louis couple who waved guns at protesters | AP News

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A judge has expunged the misdemeanor convictions of a St. Louis couple who waved guns at racial injustice protesters outside their mansion in 2020. Now they want their guns back.

Attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey filed a request in January to have the convictions wiped away. Judge Joseph P. Whyte wrote in an order Wednesday that the purpose of an expungement is to give people who have rehabilitated themselves a second chance, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. City prosecutors and police opposed the expungements.

    That couple… It must be so awful to constantly live in fear and hate. Always triple locking the doors looking at the camera footage suspicious of anyone it public that doesn’t pass the color check

    Fuck these crackers

      Makes me wonder where these people get the energy to be so goddamn mad and hateful all the time. Like, surely it should just be exhausting living like that?

        It’s fox news. It’s terror brainwashing for domestic control and of course it if bleeds it ledes as they say, I think they are victims of the information war

        But still, fuck these crackers

          Oh for sure, I meant more in a personal sense rather than what makes them angry. When I get mad I get exhausted the rest of the day, no idea how these people manage to stay mad and jump at invisible enemies all the time, it just sounds like an exhausting way to live. Like, it crosses a line where not being a constant shithead would just be easier for them. Yet they continue to be the worst version of themselves they could be.
