Indicted St. Louis attorneys Mark McCloskey, 63, and Patricia McCloskey, 61, widely known for pointing a rifle and pistol at Black Lives Matter protesters in their neighborhood back in June, left a signed postcard for a pancake house employee on Tuesday. The photo, similar to the one above, says “Patty & Mark McCloskey v. the Mob.” An unsigned image showed them with arms crossed in front of their mansion under an American flag. The caption? “Still standing.”
The attorney couple was indicted eight days ago by a grand jury for alleged evidence tampering. They had already been charged with unlawful use of a weapon stemming from the June incident in which they stood outside their mansion in Portland Place—a private, gated community—and pointed guns at protesters. They pleaded not guilty on Wednesday. The defendants have long said that their house would have been burned down and that they would have been killed had they not gone outside armed and confronted trespassing protesters on June 28.
According to KMOV, the McCloskeys left an autographed image of their armed selves and a tip for a server at Original Pancake House in Ladue. Andrea Spencer ate at a nearby table on Tuesday and she saw this happen, according to the local CBS affiliate.
