The couple would describe the harrowing incident on an episode of “Hannity” on Fox News in early July.
“People were screaming everything,” Mark McCloskey said.
“[They said] that they were going to kill us,” Patricia McCloskey added. “They were going to come in there. They were going to burn down the house. They were going to be living in our house after I was dead, and they were pointing to different rooms and said, ‘That’s going to be my bedroom and that’s going to be the living room and I’m going to be taking a shower in that room,” she recalled.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner filed charges against the St. Louis couple in July. They were charged with unlawful use of a weapon/flourishing. Although the charge was a felony that could carry a sentence up to four years in prison, they pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and were fined.
“Mark McCloskey pleaded guilty to fourth-degree misdemeanor assault and was ordered to pay a $750 fine, while Patricia pleaded guilty to second-degree misdemeanor harassment. She was ordered to pay $2,000,” the Washington Examiner reported.
“The legal process was not without controversy, as Democratic Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, who charged the couple, was removed from her prosecutorial role after a judge ruled she would initiate the prosecution ‘for political purposes’,” the report added.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
