Mark and Patricia McCloskey made national headlines in June 2020 when
they confronted a group of mostly Black protesters who entered their
gated community en route to demonstrate in front of the nearby home of
a former St. Louis mayor. Missouri’s chief disciplinary counsel is
asking the Missouri Supreme Court to suspend the law licenses of Mark
and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who waved guns at Black Lives
Matter protesters in St. Louis last year.
In filings with the court, the chief disciplinary counsel, Alan D.
Pratzel, cited the couple’s guilty pleas to misdemeanors stemming
from the incident.
Mark McCloskey, who is running for the U.S. Senate, pleaded guilty on
June 17 to misdemeanor fourth-degree assault and was ordered to pay a
fine of $750. Patricia McCloskey pleaded guilty on the same date to misdemeanor harassment and was ordered to pay a fine of $2,000.
Pratzel said both crimes showed “indifference to public safety”
and involved “moral turpitude,” warranting discipline of the pair.

They should be disbarred permanently.
