What began as a peaceful march on Sunday evening to St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson’s home, turned into a scene that could have come straight out of the Netflix show “Ozark.”

In viral videos across social media platforms, a man, identified as personal injury attorney Mark McCloskey, points a rifle at protesters walking past his palatial home. His wife and attorney partner, Patricia McCloskey, also brandishing a gun, was captured pacing on her lawn while glaring at the marchers who were headed to Krewson’s home. The couple owns McCloskey Law Center.

The McCloskeys insists that they felt threatened by the “mob.”
In an interview with KSDK-TV, Mark McCloskey said, “I wish that this didn’t happen last night, but I didn’t ask for it. I was eating dinner.”
Protesters on Sunday were expressing their outrage and demanding that Krewson resigns after she publicly read the names of protesters calling for the city of St. Louis to defund the police department, and released their addresses during a Facebook live on Friday.
The McCloskey incident has garnered national attention, both on news bulletins and social media.
