Records expunged for St. Louis couple who waved guns at protesters | AP News

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A judge has expunged the misdemeanor convictions of a St. Louis couple who waved guns at racial injustice protesters outside their mansion in 2020. Now they want their guns back.

Attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey filed a request in January to have the convictions wiped away. Judge Joseph P. Whyte wrote in an order Wednesday that the purpose of an expungement is to give people who have rehabilitated themselves a second chance, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. City prosecutors and police opposed the expungements.

    Let's dream bigger. A right-wing billionaire fills up his 737 to the brim with those three turds, Kyle Rittenhouse, the GOP justices of the supreme court, GOP reps, GOP senators, and whoever else I'm forgetting. On their way to his private island in the Caribbean - there's extreme turbulence caused by climate change along with a freak wind shear. Or maybe it's actually a divine wind. Anyway - the plane crashes right into the Atlantic. There are no survivors. And zero pity for the crew. They were toxic GOP too. In the aftermath a local country uses an obscure 1700s admiralty law to grab the island via eminent domain and turn the hotel-sized complex into public housing.

    The US threatens the country and says their will be "consequences" but the local country is ready for that and the billionaire's corruption, criminality, and "relations of unknown nature with minors" are leaked to the media. The US quietly drops the whole thing.

    The word kamikaze means “divine wind,” a reference to a typhoon that fortuitously dispersed a Mongol invasion fleet threatening Japan from the west in 1281.

    C'mon lathe. I know it's a really big ask but can't we have at least some improbable and fantastic news?

    Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and Kiss were to be the musical acts and they die too.

        Gene Simmons is a vile Zionist. He's an Israeli-American. He was born there and moved the US as a kid. I assume that Paul Stanley (the rhythm guitarist) is equally bad but he's very quiet about his beliefs - as far as I know. I think at this point any other member of the band is a salaried employee that they can shitcan at any time if they want.

          There's this old generation of aged glam rock stars, KKKiss included, who are virulently anti-trans and typically pretty queerphobic in general.

          MFers, you do realise that you built an entire career out of wearing makeup, heels, sequins, and transgressing gender norms don't you?
