At around the same time teenager Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state lines with a loaded AR15 and ended up killing two BLM protestors, Mclowskey and his wife stood on their front porch aiming loaded high powered AR15 rifles at young BLM protestors passing their house.



Mark McCloskey, who pleaded guilty in 2021 to misdemeanor assault after brandishing weapons at protestors walking through their gated community in the Central West End, filed the request yesterday in St. Louis Circuit Court. If granted, it would seal the records of his conviction.

McCloskey, a personal injury attorney, was previously pardoned for his crime by republican Governor and Trump supporter Mike Parson, as was his wife Patricia. (Patricia McCloskey, who also brandished a gun at protesters, previously pleaded guilty to harassment, also a misdemeanor.)

McCloskey is also trying to get his confiscated weapons back. He has been previously unsuccessful in his efforts to reclaim the guns he surrendered as part of his plea deal, losing in circuit court as well as the appellate level. He has also been unable to get a refund for the $872.50 he paid in fines.

It's Missouri, not Louisiana, unless he moved recently.
