Over the weekend social media was bursting out with laughter when video of an old white married couple in the suburbs of St. Louis was filmed toting firearms as Black Lives Matter protestors peacefully marched in front of their property.

According to the St. Louis American, St. Louis Prosecutor Kimberly Gardner announced that Mark McCloskey and Patricia McCloskey would indeed be under investigation by her office for their threats to the peaceful protestors.

In a statement issued by her office, Gardner wrote that she was “alarmed at the events that occurred over the weekend, where peaceful protestors were met by guns and a violent assault.”

To the surprise of nobody the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department’s incident report on the matter listed the McCloskey’s as the victims in the matter stating that they weren’t initially armed when the group began to walk by their mansion.
