Newsweek reports:
Videos have emerged showing a married couple in Missouri pointing guns at protesters who were demanding the resignation of St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson.
Footage which appeared on social media shows a man holding a semi-automatic rifle and a woman pointing a handgun as hundreds of protesters march past their home in the Central West End neighborhood of St. Louis on Sunday.
The pair have been identified locally as personal injury lawyers Mark and Patricia McCloskey. One clip shows several protesters angrily confronting Patricia McCloskey while she points a handgun at them on her lawn.

A fellow lawyer from Missouri, a guy I know named Mark McCloskey committed an assault tonight in STL by pointing his AR 15 at peaceful protesters. He should be arrested and charged with assault immediately. The MO Bar should revoke their licenses. https://t.co/6N75iFLDtT
