Following an investigation into whether Black Lives Matter protesters, targeting the St. Louis mayor’s residence, had threatened Mark and Patricia McCloskey — a couple that went viral after being pictured defending their home with guns — nine BLM protesters were cited for “trespassing” and the couple suspects that’s the end of any charges.

The McCloskeys told Fox & Friends Weekend that protesters, who allegedly broke through a wrought iron fence protecting the McCloskey’s gated neighborhood, were given “municipal-type tickets” and that they don’t anticipate St. Louis prosecutors will push the matter any further, even though the McCloskeys are being prosecuted for defending their home.
