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.

    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.
