Mark McCloskey, St. Louis man who defended home from BLM, explains why he and his wife accepted plea deal | Fox Business: Mark McCloskey explained on "Mornings with Maria" on Monday why he and his wife Patricia, both attorneys, agreed to accept a plea deal over a clash they had with protestors last summer. The St. Louis, Mo., couple, who went viral after staring down a group of protesters from their front porch, have agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges in connection with the incident, pay fines and lose the guns seized during the investigation. The McCloskeys were charged after a swarm of Black Lives Matter protesters broke down an iron gate and ignored a "No Trespassing" sign on their private street. The couple said they felt threatened and armed themselves before heading outside to warn off the crowd, which was on its way to the former mayor’s home. No one was hurt.
