Twelve Republican lawmakers wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr late last week demanding that the Department of Justice take “decisive action” to protect American’s rights from “mob rule.”

The letter came in response to the recent incident in St. Louis when two homeowners, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, stood armed outside their home to defend it from a large group of demonstrators who had entered their private neighborhood. Authorities later returned to the home and confiscated Mark McCloskey’s rifle. McCloskey told Fox News on Monday night that he expects that he and his wife will soon be indicted by the circuit attorney, Democrat Kimberly Gardner.

“This past week Mark and Patricia McCloskey in St. Louis, Missouri, took up arms in their own defense when violent protesters broke the gate to their private neighborhood and made threats of violence towards them,” the letter stated (full text below). “In spite of this egregious behavior by the protestors, the recently elected Circuit Attorney, Democrat Kim Gardner, stated publicly that their department is pursuing charges against the couple, calling the lawful protection of their homestead ‘a violent assault.’”

“At this crucial time in history, our nation needs the Department of Justice to exert strong leadership to ensure that none of our constitutional protections are eroded by mob rule,” the letter continued. “Charges against this couple will have a chilling effect on the entire nation, sending the message that American citizens no longer have the right to protect themselves at their own homes. Therefore, we urgently request the Department of Justice to take decisive action to protect our communities, uphold the rule of law, defend the Second Amendment, and insure the civil rights of Americans under attack.”

The letter was signed by Republican Reps. Louis Gohmert (TX), Mo Brooks (AL), Greg Steube (FL), Brian Babin (TX), Paul Gosar (AZ), Alex Mooney (WV), Andy Harris (MD), Ted Budd (NC), Steve King (IA), Steve Watkins (KS), Jody Hice (GA), and Scott Perry (PA).

(Excerpt from Daily Wire. Article by Ryan Saavedra.)

Full text of the letter the Republicans sent to Barr below:

The Attorney General is authorized under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 34 U.S.C. 12601, to “investigate and litigate cases involving a ‘pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officer’ that violates Constitutional or federal rights.” We ask that the United States Department of Justice initiate proceedings to ensure that the Second Amendment, which enshrines the fundamental right of citizens to protect themselves from violence and tyranny, is zealously defended during this time of unrest.

Peaceful protests, started in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, have been hijacked by incendiary, tyrannical anarchists who use violence and looting as a means to create chaos in America. Cities with Democratic leadership have responded to this wave of violence by slashing budgets of their local police departments and in some instances allowing open insurrection by way of “autonomous zones.” This past week Mark and Patricia McCloskey in St. Louis, Missouri, took up arms in their own defense when violent protesters broke the gate to their private neighborhood and made threats of violence towards them. In spite of this egregious behavior by the protestors, the recently elected Circuit Attorney, Democrat Kim Gardner, stated publicly that their department is pursuing charges against the couple, calling the lawful protection of their homestead “a violent assault.”

At this crucial time in history, our nation needs the Department of Justice to exert strong leadership to ensure that none of our constitutional protections are eroded by mob rule. Charges against this couple will have a chilling effect on the entire nation, sending the message that American citizens no longer have the right to protect themselves at their own homes. Therefore, we urgently request the Department of Justice to take decisive action to protect our communities, uphold the rule of law, defend the Second Amendment, and insure the civil rights of Americans under attack.

We pray Lord that you would be with Mark and Patricia McCloskey. Please protect them and watch over them.

Please help no harm to come to them. Please go against the evil forces that are trying to harm them.

Help Attorney General Barr as he makes decisions regarding this couple.

Thank you Lord for what you are doing in Jesus name.

Hear our cry, O Lord, and attend unto our prayers as we pray for turnaround in America.
Father God, have mercy on us. Father, protect our nation. Let us find refuge in You. Give our government officials strength and wisdom to fight against Domestic Violence or Terrorist’s Group such as Antifa, ACLU, Open Society Foundation, BLM etc.
Please breath spirit of unity in every aspect of government in America.

Father God, we ask that The church as the Body of Christ is to be a powerful example of unity that reflects the blessings of God to their communities. The church will As unity in the Body of Christ and unity among churches increases, let’s expect the blessings of God to increase in our nation to replace hatred and violence with supernatural love and peace. Ephesians 4:3 says, “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
The Body of Christ will stand up and defend what is right according to the Bible that we support the Law and Order that AG Barr will put together.

I pray for wisdom and strength for AG Barr to do his job by creating task force for each city that are currently under attack like Portland, OR. I pray that the Federal police will be able to do their job. I pray for the support of the current local and state government which is currently none. Father God, change the heart of these officials who are in the opposition.
The Amazing grace of Jesus Christ be upon the city of Portland and God’s will be done!
I pray that all the domestic terrorist’s group that are in Portland, OR be dismantle and members of these group be saved by accepting Jesus Christ as their savior and able to support Government to catch its leader.

Just as Jesus spoke to the nonproducing fig tree and it dried up from the roots, we speak to the resources of those who work evil in our government and PRAY that their money (from Open Society Foundation, the Good Club, Hollywood Elites), communication, and alliances to DRY UP from the roots.

Give wisdom to AG Barr, and those in government positions to act wisely and seek Your wisdom, may we see Your hand at work .Dispatch Your army and bring Your peace. We bless You!
