The linked story is only, perhaps, the latest stroke in a seemingly endless tale of moronity that refuses to drag itself away to die in some dark corner.
The whole thing began with the McCloskeys, proper morons in their own right. Stalwart BLM supporters in normal times (i.e., when the mob is in someone else's gated community), the McCloskeys came unhinged when protesters appeared on the private street in front of their own residence.
Heedless of how many of the crowd were or might be armed with firearms of their own, the McCloskeys went outside and stood in front of their mansion, with no cover, pointing their firearms at members of the crowd. (It later developed that the popgun so energetically flourished by the plump, little lady in stripes was actually inoperable). The fact that these two, "Progressive" fuzzlenutzes are even still above ground is cogent proof that Heaven affords special providence to fools, drunks and (apparently) the McCloskeys. I'm going to say if they copped to the charges for some bullshit,"public service" fine, they would still be way ahead of where they probably should be. Morons.
Then, Kim Gardner. Obviously no secret that we're not talking the sharpest tool in the shed there. She feels duty-bound to protect the "first amendment rights" of the protesters against the predations of the gun-waving McCloskeys. Apparently nobody told her that "first amendment rights" generally lie against the government, and don't include special rights to trespass on private property. Also, there is no indication the McCloskeys did anything to prevent the protesters from protesting, or even that the McCloskeys proposed any content-based limitations on the protesters' speech. The moron may have a "brandishing weapons" charge that is viable under Missouri law, but nothing here is about the first amendment. Moron.
Before long, like any good dumpster fire, this thing had attracted every bum on the block. The Missouri Attorney General, the Missouri Governor, Donald Trump, a gaggle of law professors debating the "castle doctrine," and now, 67 current and former prosecutors who have nothing better to do.
When will it be over? Is it possible that the showboating and media frenzy will continue all the way through an actual jury trial? Is there nothing that can save a moronity-weary public?? Creezus, Jucking Feist. The warp engines won't take much more.
