An armed California man was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home between 1:00 and 2:00 am Wednesday and allegedly told law enforcement he wanted to kill the Supreme Court justice, according to reporting from multiple sources that was confirmed by the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
According to SCOTUSblog, a spokesperson for the Court confirmed that "At approximately 1:50 a.m. today, a man was arrested near Justice Kavanaugh's residence. The man was armed and made threats against Justice Kavanaugh."
Sources who spoke with The Washington Post provided additional details:
The man was reportedly carrying "at least one weapon" when he was confronted by authorities. WaPo's report was sparse on specific details, but what was reported is damning in light of the White House's refusal to condemn protests targeting justices private homes:
The individual, described as a man in his mid-20s, was found to be carrying at least one weapon and burglary tools, these people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Police were apparently notified that the person might pose a threat to the justice, but it was not immediately clear who provided the initial tip, these people said. The man apparently did not make it on to Kavanaugh’s property in Montgomery County, but he was stopped on a nearby street, these people said.
Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling the court is preparing to overturn Roe. v. Wade, the 49-year-old decision that guaranteed a person’s constitutional right to have an abortion. He was also angry over a recent spate of mass shootings, those people said.
Before she left for her MSNBC gig, then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tried to brush off leftists targeting originalist Supreme Court Justices' homes as just a result of "women across the country [who] are worried about their fundamental rights."
After several justices' homes were subsequently targeted and violent threats escalated, the White House's Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted a too-little, too-late clarification that President Biden only supports peaceful protests.
The arrest of a man with at least one weapon who proclaimed his desire to kill Justice Kavanaugh over the leaked SCOTUS opinion that showed Roe v. Wade being overturned follows violent attacks against pro-life organizations as the left's rhetoric — and actions — against conservatives continue to escalate.
This is a developing story and may be updated.
I was really happy to hear the news report of this. Glad Justice Kavanaugh is safe but this helps our side.
The dirty Dems are ready to kill people for their “women’s reproductive rights” to kill and dismember babies by abortions. They are ramping up the hate against supposed “domestic terrorists” of “threat” by being American patriots who love this country and the Constitution. Dems at home will say deaths of patriots are okay; they disagreed with woke side and deserved to die.
This kind of insident will bolster the good guys’ cause.
Dems silent. Hypocrites.
When Trump said he admires the energy of the good people in a peaceful assembly (before planted agents and dirty cops at the Capitol did their thing) he was tarred for “inciting” and being guilty of domestic terrorism. BS.
The true inciters are let off (Waters “Get in their faces in public and at their homes” and many recent anti-GOP rantings over “blood on their hands for gun violence.”)
Report said:.... was carrying a gun, ammunition, a knife, pepper spray, a screwdriver, zip ties, and other gear when he was arrested....
No one mentioned a note from his mom saying he hasn’t been feeling happy lately so don’t shoot him.
I hope he knows what hits him.
San Fran Nan needs to prove she didn’t send him.
How did the “Yute” get his gun from Calif. to Md.?
Did Schumer give him all of that equipment or did the TSA let him take it on the plane?
SCOTUS is democratically elected?
The Meritless Garland was elected?
Yes your Honor; we were able to stop this man this time.
I don’t know how we’ll be able to stop others without more funding.
Folks; you just can NOT make this stuff up!
MD 'Freak State' Ping!
Let me know if you want on/off this list.....
Meanwhile, I sat in Ollies parking lot and watched this psycho circus.
By framing the contentiousness to be about the "leak", the MSM is trying to imply that those who think the leak was wrong are on the side of the would-be assassin. Most people who are pro-abortion are glad for the leak, so when they hear that this guy is "anti-leak", their gut tells them he's anti-abortion and therefore deplorable; they don't need to read any further.
That's why the MSM dares to report on this - they have a way of inflaming their side to righteousness by implying the evil assassin is anti-leak rather than pro abortion.
I'm not sure Biden was actually elected, but he would choose (even if he was told whom to choose) if a vacancy opened up.
Cause they’re democrats.
Mentally Deranged Idiots.
No bail will be required and he probably is already back on the street.
The conservative Judges were doxed and addresses put on social media after the leak. The man arrested said he got the address from social media.
I read that the would be killer suffers from mental illness. Socialism is a mental illness!
He will not be thrown into solitary without a trial. He will eventually be given a high-paying job, compliments of the democrat mob.
