Thursday's Terrible Absurdity: Leftist Killer Acts on Democrat Hate Rhetoric vs. Kavanaugh, Media Collectively Yawns
If you get your “news” from the New York Times or CNN, you would have had to read through dozens of other stories before you got to this one:
That’s right: A California radical armed with a gun and a knife was arrested as he approached the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Tuesday, and the news media barely even noticed, outside of Bret Baier at Fox News, who led his evening news hour with a detailed story about it. The three other broadcast TV networks didn’t even bother with the story.
Here’s an excerpt from the story at the New York Post:
An armed California man incensed about the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion expected to overturn Roe v. Wade was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Maryland home Wednesday after he hatched a plan to kill the jurist to “give his life purpose,” prosecutors said.
Nicholas John Roske, 26, was arrested by the Montgomery County Police Department at about 1:50 a.m. near Kavanaugh’s home in Chevy Chase and was charged later Wednesday in Maryland federal court with attempting to kill or kidnap a US judge, court records show.
Roske, who was dressed in black clothing and carrying a backpack and a suitcase, was spotted getting out of a cab in front of Kavanaugh’s home around 1:05 a.m. by two deputy US Marshals, who were stationed outside the residence, court papers state.
When he saw the marshals, who were standing next to their parked vehicle in the tony Washington, DC, suburb, he walked down the block and called 911 and told an operator he was having “suicidal thoughts,” had a firearm on him and wanted to kill Kavanaugh.
Cops from the Montgomery Police Department were dispatched to the area and when they arrived, Roske was still on the phone with the emergency operator, according to court records.
He was taken into custody and when investigators searched his suitcase and backpack, they found a small arsenal, including a tactical police vest, a tactical knife, pepper spray, zip ties, a Glock 17 pistol and two magazines and ammunition.
During an interview with an FBI agent, Roske allegedly said he was upset about the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion expected to overturn Roe v. Wade and the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 kids and two teachers.
This assassination attempt by a lunatic leftist Democrat was the inevitable outcome of the spewing of hate rhetoric and false accusations against Kavanaugh and other conservative justices by leading Democrats like Kamala Harris and Chuck Schumer:
"You have released the whirlwind"
"You will pay the price"
"You wont know what hit you" - Chuck Schumer
Communist Democrat Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot issued this tweet after the Supreme Court’s pending decision to repeal Roe v. Wade was leaked:
“A call to arms?” This leftist California lunatic says, “Hold my glass of chardonnay.”
Examples of hate rhetoric like this from prominent Democrats could go on and on for days.
In the wake of this assassination attempt, a functioning Justice Department would immediately subject Harris, Schumer, Lightfoot and other deranged Dems who have led the charge to encourage violent acts against Kavanaugh and the 4 other conservative justices (I don’t include John Roberts here) to questioning. But the DOJ we have has been utterly corrupted by Democrats in this century, and thus won’t lift a finger to protect the justices and discourage violence against them and their families.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has steadfastly refused to enforce a federal law that makes it illegal to protest at the residences of federal judges. After the senate unanimously approved a bill to beef up security for the Justices weeks ago, Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats in the House have refused to bring the bill to a vote.
It’s another story the legacy media has studiously refused to report in any real way.
Chief Justice John Roberts is sadly complicit in all of this as well. A chief justice interested in protecting his colleagues from leftist acts of violence and intimidation would have ordered the decision in the abortion case to be expedited and issued as soon as possible once it had been leaked. He also would have moved heaven and earth to identify and punish the leaker, even if the leaker was one of the liberal justices.
Instead, Roberts has allowed the situation to linger and fester, clearly in the hope that he will be able to convince one of his conservative colleagues to change their vote on the decision. Weeks after the leak, it is not apparent he has made any effort whatsoever to identify the leaker. Yesterday, we saw the inevitable outcome of his Machiavellian machinations.
It has been obvious that Roberts is compromised since 2012, when he issued his constitutionally indefensible decision that preserved Obamacare. One of his hopes could be that the longer he delays on the abortion decision will increase the chances of some outside force getting to one of the 5 conservative justices who were ready to support the draft decision leaked in May.
If he waits much longer, he might end up getting one of them killed instead.
That is all.
Pathetic and obvious that they are resorting to Clintonian methods to rid the court of conservatives.
Unbelieveable! We're praying for those Justices!
