...they broke down a locked, wrought iron gate to gain access to the property.
Actually, in point of fact, they did not.
The gate was certainly broken at some point, but as I noted in a post above it was absolutely not broken to gain access to the property. There is video of the protesters entering the property and at that point the gate is clearly visible and it was unbroken. The protesters merely opened it and walked through.
Also, it's worth noting that "the property" refers to a gated community, not specifically to the McCloskey's property.
I don't know if the video still works, but in this thread on TFL where this was discussed, I posted a link to the video showing the protesters walking through an undamaged gate to enter the neighborhood.
