Patricia McCloskey Wiki – Biography
Patricia McCloskey and Mark McCloskey pointing guns at protesters walking by their home in St. Louis, Missouri on June 28, went viral on Twitter. The married couple, who work together as personal injury trial lawyers, came out of their house armed on Sunday to prevent protesters from walking onto their property in the Forest Park area.
In the videos shared online, however, it doesn’t appear that anyone walking in Sunday’s protest calling for the resignation of St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson was trespassing on their palatial property. While Mark held a large assault weapon, and Patty held a handgun, they unknowingly point their weapons at each other while staring down protestors.

Mark McCloskey & Patricia McCloskey
The couple was featured in St. Louis Magazine for their impressive renovation of the famous estate in 1988. But 30 years after purchasing the home, which was once owned by Edward and Anna Busch, they have restored the Renaissance palazzo back to its original glory.
Mark told the magazine, “All the plumbing was made by Mott, which was the premiere manufacturer at the turn of the century,” Mark said, “and all the door and window hardware was made by P.E. Guerin.” Patty noted that “the glass in the windows” are from the second-floor reception hall at the 14th century Palazzo Davanzati in Florence, “and the shutters, at least the ironwork, are probably original.”

Victim
Mark, who graduated Magna Cum Laude from Southern Methodist University in Dallas for attending the Southern Methodist University of Law like his wife, is representing a victim of police brutality. According to the Associated Press, David Maas, a St. Louis police officer was caught on the dashcam video assaulting a man and was indicted on a federal charge in March.
For the incident, which took place in April 2019, Maas was charged with one count of deprivation fo rights under color of law, according to the U.S. attorney’s office. The victim was identified by the initials, “I.F.,” which matches the 2019 civil lawsuit brought by Isaiah Forman.
“I’m glad that the law enforcement agencies are subject to the same standard as everybody else,” Forman’s lawyer, Mark McCloskey, said to the AP.

After Krewson listed the names and addresses of protestors looking to defund the police during a Facebook live interview, she offered a formal apology.
Krewson said in a statement, “I would like to apologize for identifying individuals who presented letters to me at City Hall as I was answering a routine question during one of my updates earlier today. While this is public information, I did not intend to cause distress or harm to anyone. The post has been removed and again, I sincerely apologize.”
Hey @LydaKrewson. So not cool to doxx my constituents who support #DefundThePolice on your FB live today.
It’s a move designed to silence dissent, and it’s dangerous. #DoBetter

However, the damage was already done, and St. Louis residents accused her of doxing protesters. She was also publicly called out by Tishaura O. Jones, the treasurer of St. Louis, and St. Louis Alderwoman Megan Ellyia Green.

Thousands of online users slammed Mark and Patty McCloskey not only for pulling out firearms against peaceful protesters but for the way they incorrectly held their weapons, but for running out of their home barefoot, Mark’s salmon-colored shirt, etc.

Second law of universal gun safety is a thing.
I hope her neighbors check in on her periodically because she lives with a dude who aimed an #AR15 directly at her chest while ostensibly holding trespassers at bay. Sleep with one eye open, St Louis Gun Lady. pic.twitter.com/fZAyOiy3G0

While some Twitter members remade popular movie posters to feature the personal injury lawyers, others wondered if the trial attorneys broke the law by pointing their weapons at the protesters. Don Calloway tweeted, “A fellow lawyer from Missouri, a guy I know named Mark McCloskey committed an assault tonight in STL by pointing his AR 15 at peaceful protesters. He should be arrested and charged with assault immediately. The MO Bar should revoke their licenses.”
The McCloskeys also had their share of supporters online. One man tweeted, “The same people destroying private property and threatening residents wonder why residents are coming out of their homes with AR-15’s…? Lmao.” Ryan Fournier, founder of Students for Trump, tweeted, “God Bless the couple in St. Louis who stood their ground and defended their property. God Bless the Second Amendment.”
Defend his family. His home. His livelihood. Pure speculation, but I would guess some of these protesters are jobless bums trying to act like they own everything. This couple most likely earned their home and they should have every right to defend it from being destroyed. #AR15 https://t.co/g7cEIQiah0
