This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Unfortunately,
tonight the unequal system of
justice is on full display
mark Patricia Mccloskey the
couple seen on the now viral
video defending their St Louis
home from a mob of angry
demonstrators in June.
If they were the ones indicted
today,
according to their attorney Al
Watkins, they are now facing the
charges of unlawful use of a
weapon and tampering with
evidence
with their reaction mark and
Patricia Mccloskey.
First im, sorry that youre
going through this
youre, both lawyers and my
understanding, is that these
protesters didnt they break
through an iron gate, ignoring
no trespassing sign and didnt.
You tell me in a previous
interview that you were both
threatened verbally and
otherwise,
not just one. Trespassing
sign three, no trespassing
signs
an iron gate that has been there
since one thousand eight hundred and eighty eight and threatened us
with murder, with rape with
arson, with burning our hearts.
My cows down killing our dog s
every possible, where
theyre going to put that pistol
when they take it away from her.
It was a horrifying scene.
Just an attempt by this
Soros funded prosecutor to
intimidate people to warn people
out there that, if you stand up
for yourself, exercise your
second amendment rights, we are
going to punish you
not the mob, not the criminals,
but we are going to punish you
law abiding citizens for trying
to defend yourselves
and your weapons were
legal and they were on your
property. Is that correct?
This is true
if a private neighborhood,
when they folded down that gate
and broke into our neighborhood,
every inch of our neighborhood
is private property.
They walked right past, a sign
three of them private property
residents. Only no trespassing
broke the gate down and came
storming and purity Sean
did you see weapons of the of
any of the people that were in
front of your house or on your
property?
I saw the one guy pointed to
come of pointed magazines that
may close enough that I could
see that they had shelves in
them clicks them at me said
you are next,
the guy next to him. Also wearing
body armor had a sidearm on him
and was kept inching closer and
its in closer.
They were armed, they were
dangerous and they were
intentionally threatening
again these weapons
that you have were illegal and
they were on your own property.
Can you explain the tampering of
evidence charge
im having a hard time with that
one?
We have not seen the charging
documents and ive been advised
by my attorney, not to make any
comments, since we dont know
what weve allegedly tampered
with, and therefore we cant
respond in any way
we were in court this morning,
Sean and at that point we were
told there were no charges, and
then this is how wonderful the
world works these days,
the powers that be the left
leaks the information they want
before you actually see it.
My daughter called me up from
out of town to say: I understand
you got indicted today
got leaked to the press.
My understanding is
that there were nine protesters
originally charged with
misdemeanor trespassing, but
those charges were all dropped.
Only the home owner
law, abiding legal gun owner
gets charged here
is that how America works?
Thats? How America works?
I mean the bottom line. Is that
if you have the gall, if you
have the audacity to try to
protect yourself to exercise
your second amendment rights,
thats an unforgivable crime to
the left, because youre
supposed to have just mindless
obedience and youre not
supposed to challenge them?
Didnt, they tell you
which rooms in your house. They
were going to take over
pointing up at the windows
thats, where im going to be
sleeping thats, where im going
to be taking my shower thats,
where im going to be having my
breakfast after we kill you and
take your house,
I think id call that
a threat.
I think you have a good case.
