It was posted by Popeye. I posted a video which shows the gate had no visible damage when the protesters were entering the community.
See 0:20-0:24 in https://youtu.be/kP432bzbRt8?t=18
The gate was obviously not broken down by the protesters to gain entry. It may well be that McCloskey tore down the gate, to support his lie that the protesters did it.

I wouldve had my AR rifles and magazines ready to go.I probably wouldnt want to be seen or let them know I had weapons, I like the element of surprise on my side.I wouldve waited for the crowd to make a move,while praying they wouldnt (lol). I know the law, too well.When I aim a gun at someone, its the last thing theyre going to see.Yeah, that's why I said that everything else the McCloskeys did was very imprudent:
- They drew the attention of the protesters, who originally had no interest in the McCloskeys.
- They needlessly escalated the situation by yelling at and threatening to shoot the protesters.
- They were tactically unwise, presenting themselves as large, fully-exposed, stationary targets.
- And she was incredibly dumb, going down to little more than arm's length from the protesters.
