EXCLUSIVE: The St. Louis man who went viral last summer after he and his wife stood an armed vigil on their front lawn as Black Lives Matter protesters marched through their gated community is praising the Kentucky diner seen holding a pistol as shouting demonstrators surrounded him outside a restaurant Saturday.
Video of the Louisville standoff shows a group of armed protesters, some of them carrying rifles and wearing tactical vests and holstered handguns, arguing with two diners, also armed. It happened in a tense confrontation outside La Chasse, an upscale European-style restaurant, shortly after the Kentucky Derby. "I think if you’re sitting there having a nice lunch and people storm in, and they’re armed, you’ve got every right to stand up and defend yourself," McCloskey said.More Related News
