St. Louis homeowner and lawyer Mark McCloskey, who was seen in viral footage brandishing a firearm along with his wife Patricia, explained why he decided to arm himself and confront Black Lives Matter protesters who marched toward his property.

“[W]hen I saw that mob coming through the gate with their rage and their anger, I thought that we would be overrun in a second,” he told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson on Tuesday night.
