THAT BOTHERS ME.

I am not fond of this “Justice”——NEVER WAS—NEVER WILL BE——

HOWEVER-—I want bodyguards of such persons to SHOOT TO KILL AT EVERY INCIDENT.

IF this “Bodyguard isn’t qualified to drop ANY perp with one shot-—then he needs to be replaced”.

THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE-—NO EXCUSES

No one should be allowed to have a gun for self defense. That is what armed bodyguards are for. [/ sarchasm]

> Gun control for thee not for me <

On her show, Rosie O’Donnell screamed at Tom Selleck over gun control. Selleck is a 2A guy, and that set O’Donnell off.

Later it was revealed that O’Donnell‘s family was protected by armed bodyguards. What a surprise (not).

How was Sotamayor in danger if someone else was being carjacked?

I notice they didn’t mention it was a member of the Democrat voting base.

Hmmm. Just over the weekend there was a commentary or two about how SS needed to retire (since she’s near or at 70 and having cognitive issues) so Puddles can appoint her replacement with a Dim Senate to rush the successor through.

I wonder if it was a clumsy attempt at a hit (or maybe a signal to the Wide One that she better waddle out of DC while she still can).

Only if We the People are allowed to do the same, with the same impunity.

What an odd thing to say. Oh, wait. Maybe not.

For Sotomayor, they were probably DEI bodyguards.

What were the US Marshals using.... Nerf guns?!?

That was my same thought, too. They must be poor shots or something. Sheesh.

“Sonia Sotomayor saved from danger: Supreme Court Justice’s bodyguard shoots gun-wielding suspect”

Since the kid was trying to carjack the car while Sotomayor was in her condo, how the hell was Sotomayor in “danger?”

Interestingly, it appears that libs are allowed to use deadly force to protect themselves and their property, but conservatives, not so much . . .

Carjacking is an approved DEI wealth redistribution activity in DC except when practiced against the elites who are all for protecting such wealth redistribution efforts so long as they are in charge and get their cut.

I thought they all live in the suburbs? Mostly in Bethesda, MD or NoVa?

Where the heck are the parents teaching morals? Having the 10 Commandments taught at home and in school would be a great start!

If the perp was trying to steal the bodyguard’s car...

How was SS in danger? Did this happen AT SS’s residence?

And is it because it is DC that Marshalls were involved and not DC police?

It’s probably a mistake to assume that the young gentleman from the Orkney Islands, Mr. Flowers, had both parents in his life.
