Mark McCloskey, who has since announced a GOP run for a Missouri U.S. Senate seat, said his case was part of a trend where conservatives are being prosecuted for minor incidents while criminals such as looters and rioters are not.

Nine Black Lives Matter protesters were issued citations for trespassing in connection with the incident but prosecutors refused to move forward. The couple's attorney said the demonstrators broke down a gate to get onto the private street and threatened them.

Prosecutors determined the demonstrators acted peacefully.

"If you've got an ‘R’ behind your name, you're subject to one kind of justice system and if you have a ‘D,’ you're subjected to another," he said.

When will you pardon your wife and give her a break (or not)?
 
Gross.
Well, if the state won’t do their job, maybe the people need to.
