Supreme Murder Plot and the reckless rhetoric
"The man arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has been identified as 26-year-old Nicholas John Roske of Simi Valley, California, Fox News reported on Wednesday.
Roske was arrested around 1:50 am on a street near the Kavanaugh home after he called 911 and made violent threats against the justice, reportedly furious over recent mass shootings and a leaked draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade ."

As if Justice Kavanaugh hadn't been put through enough during his confirmation, his address has been released, his home illegally besieged by protestors and now a plot to kill him.
Now it is time to consider the actions of the radical left and it's current government. They are the ones who have ratcheted up all of this to the point of violence once again. This time it is aimed at Supreme Court Justices. It began even before a POS at the Court leaked a written opinion involving "Roe." Nobody is looking for the perpetrator. The mobs outside of the homes of Justices are there illegally. The sham AG Merrick Garland hasn't doe a thing about it. Before all of that happened we had Sen Chuck Schumer threatening Justices by name:
"This is where we are… if these reports are correct, an assassination attempt against a sitting justice, or something close to it," McConnell said on the Senate floor.
"This is exactly the kind of event that many worried the unhinged, reckless apocalyptic from prominent figures toward the court, going back many months, and especially in recent weeks, could make more likely," McConnell added.
McConnell attacked House Democrats for not passing legislation to increase security for justices, which the Senate passed unanimously amid protests at justices' homes last month. Those protests followed the leak of a draft opinion, published by Politico that indicated the Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade."

For all those who believe in the rule of law, we can't allow people to threaten justices. We owe it to them to keep them safe. Unfortunately this was bound to happen with all this super heated rhetoric coming from the left and this bogus left wing regime which is ruling this country.

Maybe next year Republicans can start a committee investigation of the plot to kill Kavanaugh. They can subpoena everyone in Chuck Schumer's life, go through every e-mail and meeting he had. See how many democrats they can tarnish or smear. Call it fighting fire with fire!
BTW, if anyone refuses to appear, have Obama's FBI put him/her in leg irons and lock 'em up!
Make sure we check out everything he's ever said in high school.
No, I personally would not support that action. The last thing we need in this country is for the Republicans to take the House (and very probably the Senate) and start off on a vendetta where they attack the Democrats in this manner. There are too many big issues that need to be handled, they cannot waste their time on vengeance hearings.
So the guy called the police on himself. Not a very effective plan.
It is reminiscent of when Trump wondered out loud at a rally if someone wouldnt beat the hell out of people who were interrupting him, and then lo and behold, a short while later, a protester was punched in the head by a MAGA.
Proof and link please.
Yeah, I know I won't get them, but at least I'm asking politely.
you dont remember 2016?
Selective amnesia.
I have a great memory of 2016 - I just had my 1st birthday after my cardiac arrest and short death.
But - Link and proof please - second polite request.
Oh it happened. Somewhere in North Carolina, I think.
Asshole started disrupting a rally and got his clock cleaned. Not sure what he expected.
Just another example of how the batshit left think they should be able to do anything without ever enduring the consequences.
I remember you mentioning that before. for how long did you say the flow of oxygenated blood to your brain had been stopped?
You can look it up online. I dont give links to things that are common knowledge.
"They" said somewhere between 4.22 minutes and 6.01 minutes.
That was from the staff - Doc never said.
Wow - no Jack/John - did not see that one - but will research.
Stupid shyte.
BTW - turns out it was at the March 2016 Louisville, Kentucky rally and three persons "claim" Trump's rally gave them permission to harm others who opposed Trump.
In fact, SINCE IT ISN'T COMMON KNOWLEDGE, look at this timeline - and these are only from 2016.
Alleged assination attempt
During a rally for Trump in Las Vegas, Nevada , on June 18, 2016, British national Michael Steven Sandford was arrested after allegedly attempting to take a police officer’s firearm with the intention of assassinating Trump.

San Jose, California
Outside of a Trump rally in San Jose, California , on June 2, 2016, "A dozen or more people were punched, at least one person was pelted with an egg and Trump hats grabbed from supporters were set on fire on the ground," according to the Associated Press.

According to The Washington Post , they threw "burning T-shirts, rocks and bottles toward the police and police horses trying to contain them." [6] [7]
Julia Ioffe
Journalist Julia Ioffe said on April 28, 2016, that she received anti-Semitic messages and death threats, including a call from a funeral casket seller, after writing a profile of Melania Trump for GQ Magazine . Ioffe continued, “It’s unsettling. I started the day off having a sense of humor about it but by the end of the day, after a few phone calls like this, with people playing Hitler speeches, and the imagery, and people telling me my face would look good on a lampshade, it’s hard to laugh.” [8]
On May 4, 2016, CNN 's Wolf Blitzer asked Trump about his supporters who had threatened Ioffe. Trump said, "I don’t have a message to the fans. A woman wrote an article that’s inaccurate.” [9]
Costa Mesa, California
Hundreds of protesters assembled outside of a Trump rally in Costa Mesa, California , on April 28, 2016, where, according to The Los Angeles Times , they were "stomping on cars, hurling rocks at motorists and forcefully declaring their opposition to the Republican presidential candidate."

Tucson, Arizona
In Trump's second rally in Arizona on March 19, 2016, a protester was punched and kicked by a rally attendee. As the incident occurred, Trump said from the podium, "They're taking away our First Amendment rights. They're troublemakers, they're no good, and we have to be careful. We've gotta take our country back, folks. We gotta take our country back, very simple." The rally attendee, Tony Pettway, was charged with assault with injury and released. [15]
At the same event, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was accused of pulling on a protester's collar. Campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks denied that Lewandowski touched the protester. She said in a statement that video of the event reflected that the protester was reacting to another man who pulled him. [16] Trump also said that Lewandowski was only in the crowd to remove offensive signs held by protesters. He said, "They had signs up in that area were horrendous. I will give him [Lewandowski] credit for having spirit.” [17]
Fountain Hills, Arizona
Dozens of protesters blocked the roadways leading to a Trump rally near Phoenix, Arizona , on March 19, 2016. After forming a human wall, police officers began to arrest the protesters.

Kansas City, Missouri
Protesters outside of Trump's March 12, 2016, rally in Kansas City, Missouri , were pepper-sprayed by police officers. Kansas City Police Department spokesman Darin Snapp said this action was taken to "prevent protesters from taking over the street in an attempt to fight with rally supporters.” [19] On March 18, 2016, a woman was arrested and charged with abuse of a police service animal for allegedly screaming in the face of a police horse and then slapping it during the protest. [20]
Dayton, Ohio
During a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio , on March 12, 2016, a protester attempted to storm the stage as Trump was speaking. The man, Thomas DiMassimo, was removed by Secret Service agents and shortly thereafter charged with disorderly conduct and inducing panic. [21]
Chicago, Illinois
Trump was scheduled to hold a rally in Chicago, Illinois , on March 11, 2016. Thousands of people had assembled at the venue—the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion—when Trump unexpectedly canceled the event. His campaign announced, "Mr. Trump just arrived in Chicago, and after meeting with law enforcement, has determined that for the safety of all of the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena, tonight's rally will be postponed to another date. Thank you very much for your attendance and please go in peace." [22] [23] Chicago law enforcement and university police said that they did not report any security concerns to Trump's campaign. [24]
Politico reported that there were 2,500 protesters outside of the venue and hundreds inside. [24] Some held flags with peace signs, while others ripped up Trump signs. There were several demonstrators with Bernie Sanders signs. [25]
Directly after the event was canceled, altercations began to break out between the rally attendees and protesters. Some members of the crowd yelled racially charged words like "runaway slaves" and "f****** terrorist." Reporter Keith O'Brien described his experience, writing for Politico , "I got struck in the head with a thrown object, something hard, metal perhaps. [Some protesters] lashed out, pushing back, fighting in skirmishes with willing Trump participants, baiting the violence." [24] Two police officers were injured during the incident, and five arrests were made. [26]
Fayetteville, North Carolina
On March 9, 2016, protesters interrupted Trump's rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina . As they were being escorted out of the venue, one of the protesters, Rakeem Jones, was punched in the face by Trump supporter John McGraw. Directly after the incident, Jones was thrown to the ground by a police officer. McGraw later said, "The next time we see him, we might have to kill him." [1]
The following day, McGraw was arrested and charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and communicating threats by the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. An internal investigation was also opened to determine whether the police officers present during the incident behaved appropriately when they did not detain or arrest McGraw at the venue. [1]
Michelle Fields
See also: Alleged altercation between Michelle Fields and Trump campaign manager and Alleged altercations involving Corey Lewandowski at Donald Trump campaign eventsTrump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski , allegedly grabbed Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields during a press event on March 8, 2016, in Florida. [27] Lewandowski and the Trump campaign accused Fields of fabricating the event. [28]
Fields filed a police report against Lewandowski on March 11, 2016. [29] On March 29, 2016, Lewandowski was charged with misdemeanor battery.
Palm Beach County Florida State Attorney David Aronberg announced on April 14, 2016, that the prosecutor's office would not press charges against Lewandowski. He said that although the local police department "acted well within their authority to investigate and make an independent charging decision" because probable cause existed, "Our standard is higher than probable cause. ... Although the facts support the allegation that Mr. Lewandowski did grab Ms. Fields' arm against her will, Mr. Lewandowski has a reasonable hypothesis of innocence." [30]
Louisville, Kentucky
During a Trump rally in Louisville, Kentucky , on March 1, 2016, a Black protester, Shiya Nwanguma, was roughly shoved by several attendees and reportedly called a "n*****" and a "c***" as she left the venue. [31]
One of the men who yelled at Nwanguma, Joseph Pryor, was discharged from the Marine Corps' delayed entry program for his involvement in the incident after video from the rally was submitted to Marine officials. "The situation and Pryor's lack of judgement are unfortunate, so in keeping with our ethos, this command decided to part ways with him. This command encourages equality across the board, and actions that deviate from our values will not be tolerated," said Gunnery Sgt. Andrew Miller, a public affairs chief for the 4th Marine Corps District. [32]
Christopher Morris
During a rally for Trump in Virginia on February 29, 2016, TIME photographer Chris Morris was grabbed by the neck and slammed to the ground by a Secret Service agent as he tried to film protesters being ejected from the event. Morris allegedly swore at the agent before the incident. [33] [34]

Las Vegas, Nevada
On February 23, 2016, Trump said that he'd "like to punch him [a protester] in the face" during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada . He said the protester had been “throwing punches," although security personnel from the venue denied that this was true. [36]
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
During a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa , on February 1, 2016, Trump said that he had been informed by security guards that there may have been protesters in the audience planning to throw tomatoes at him. He then encouraged the crowd to hit any protester who attempted to do so. [37]
Sorry RDTC - got carried away.
Good that you are still with us
Thanks Charger - Creator just ain't ready for me yet - and I'm glad - as is my wife and daughter (most of the time).
Agreed .... Teufel Hunden are tough to rub out .....
Did you have a problem with trump saying that? Now that you are done with the deflection what do you think about what chuck said,especially in light of recent events?
Aw, are y'all having a ' Family Feud' down yonder?
Nah, how ya doin up der eh?
Good thing Schumer didnt say he could get away with shooting someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue. They might be calling for his execution if he had.
Nope - since he's a Dem/Lib, he'd probably get a standing ovation and the police report would just say it was a "peaceful shooting" - time to move on folks - nothing else to see.
Oh yes. Those evil Dems out to destroy America...
Any more hyperbole?
Doing a darn good job too.
Of your hyperbole? Yes you are...
Still deflecting. How about sticking to the actual subject while staying away from but but but trump! Or can't you do it.
He's to smart to say publicly what he's thinking.
Schumer isn't thinking that he can get away with anything at all. He has no delusions about having a cult following.
Trump also has no delusions about having a cult following. He has a cult following.
This is ironic comedy, no?
Ironic comedy from the left and their support of BLM and Antifa rioters? No, no it wasn't ironic; and it damn well sure wasn't comedic.
Then this is:
or this response out of left field:
I support the BLM protests, not the riots. I don't expect any of this to get through your hyper partisan defenses, but hey, I figured I would give it a shot.
And Antifa is a strawman of small proportions blown into existence as an organization by DJT et al because they couldn't think of anything to do about the protests but demonize and lie about the participants. Once again, I know that this has little ability to make it through....
As ender said up the page aways, calling the cops on yourself doesn't exactly equate to the best of plans.
Antifa and BLM were responsible for Two Billion dollars in property losses and loss of income I wouldn't call that small..
That's just not the case. They were actively prevented from taking action by Democratic officials in several cities.
That may be the worst case of the pot calling the kettle black that I've seen in a long time.
It's not any worse a plan than rioting at the Capitol to try to get election results overturned. If Donald Trump is responsible for that riot (which Democrats are about to attempt to convince us later this evening), then Schumer is certainly responsible for this attempt to assassinate a SCOTUS justice.
So they demonized and lied about the participants of the demonstrations, painting all of the millions of people who supported the BLM cause as somehow complicit in the actions of an extreme minority who actually did riot. My point stands, as evidenced by 7.1.2
Really? No small amount of false equivalence there. Did Schumer lie about something? Did schumer call on people to come to the houses of the Supreme Court justices? The two are worlds apart. That said, we should watch what we all say so that rhetoric does not turn to violence. That is one glaring signpost that all can see from the Jan 6 fiasco. Take an oath and stand by it.
Prove that all who protested under the auspices of BLM were responsible for that $2 Billion price tag. You can't because it is simply not true.

Fact check: Thousands of Black Lives Matter protesters arrested in 2020 (usatoday.com)
So? It still does not make the millions of people who were in solidarity complicit in the crimes of a few. Which is the picture that you are trying to paint.
And before you start quibbling about that characterization of the numbers 2000/1,000,000 = 0.2% and it was more like 15 to 26 million people who turned out in support of BLM, so that would push the percentage down to 0.013% to 0.0077%.
According to NPR as of the anniversary, 725 people had been arrested out of the approximately 10,000 people that made it onto the Capitol grounds that day, or 7.25%. Over 2000 people got into the Capitol! That is not merely a "handful".
You want to talk about complicit?
How about Democrats trying to tie every Republican at every level; right down to voters with sedition.
Before you bloviate- just look at the leftist comments on this website; then listen to the Democrats; and their media talking heads.
If anyone had the temerity to not vote Democrat; then they are guilty.
As for your 2000 people got into the capital; how many were ushered in by police after the riot was long over?
So tell us all what crime are these people committing?
Most peaceful, and obedient, rioters ever. Most of them even stay between the damn ropes. Notice the Capitol Police officer get into the shot. Looks real damn concerned doesn't he? Gets replaced by a second Capitol Police officer- who at least thinks better of it and keeps his distance from them. The rioters never look twice at them. Think that BLM or Antifa rioters would do the same?
Yet the highly partisan AG and DOJ wants to punish these "seditionists"; most of whom did nothing more than meander around; to the fullest extent of the law.
Do you really think this extreme cherry-picking is going to convince people that the Jan 6th insurrection was just a peaceful protest?
They didn't need to demonize anybody. The demonstrators did that for themselves. Either they were:
I'm sure you'd like to think so. But all know "false equivalence" in modern vernacular simply translates to "we did it too, but it's somehow not as bad because we're liberal".
Both used inflammatory language that incited people to attempt violence. "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest" isn't a lie, either, but that fact didn't save Henry II.
Agreed. While we're at it, we can adopt a healthy sense of skepticism for anything and everything we see in today's media. Just because Chicken Little has a few followers does not mean the sky is actually falling.
Do you really think that is the only video evidence? The idiots on the committee have thousands of hours of footage they haven't released. Why is that? It is because that footage destroys their narrative completely and utterly. It also will spark a shitload of outrage that people are being charged for nothing by Biden's partisan AG and DOJ.
The truth will out after midterms. The calls for Republicans to release all footage and evidence will be deafening. Including questioning Pelosi, Schumer, Bowser, and a very reluctant FBI that has removed several fomenters of Jan 6th from the most wanted list.
I suppose there was a rebuttal somewhere in there.
First off, I am what you would call a leftist, and I haven't called all people who did not vote Democrat anything. All people should vote for the person whom they feel will best fill the seat in question.
However, you continue to conflate the actions of a few with the actions of the group at large, even after you have been told that to do so without evidence supporting your position is unwise because it is quite often untrue.
I could go on, but quite frankly there are much better things to do with my time.
No; what prompted you to ask such a stupid question?
Hardly, if only 10% of those who were at the capitol engaged in violence the event is still an act of violence. All one need do to show that the capitol was violently attacked is to show multiple events of breaking and entering by dozens of people. They showed that and much more. So you can show videos of people standing by passively with signs all you want ... that does not change the reality that the capitol was indeed violently violated.
They damn well did demonize and lie, and I see that they have even duped you.
There were millions of protestors involved with BLM and thousands of protests which did not devolve into violence. This is fact.
The fact that you are unwilling to concede this fact tells me that you do not wish to concede a well known fact. Why do you do this? It only makes you look like you can't except what is plainly evident, and calls other aspects of your argumentation into question.
Prove that Schumer wished to incite people to violence.
False equivalence: The attempt to place two or more items together in the attempt to make them appear the same in degree and composition when they are in fact not the same. That is my understanding of the word and conforms quite closely to the dictionaries. Regardless of what you may claim as a translation.
I find your false trichotomy amusing, but still false. At least you tried.
Good day.
I'm sure you're desperate to think so.
It's also a fact that BLM protests devolved into violence at a higher rate than anything else in American society. I realize liberals live in denial about this, but it's their own math.
It means I understand the well known fact for what it actually is instead of the fantasy you want everyone to believe.
Because I work with numbers for a living. Which means I don't misinterpret them.
What is plainly evident is that you cannot accept any hint of an idea that interrupts your wildly idealistic concepts of liberals and their activities.
Let me give you an alternate example....
During the height of the pandemic, there was a standing view among some conservatives that the dangers of Covid were vastly overstated. They latched on to the statistic that Covid had a 98% survival rate as justification for ending lockdowns, not wearing masks, and refusing vaccinations. Now.... these people (the ones who survived) are complete fucking imbeciles. If there were anything else that killed you 1 out of every 50 times it happened, these idiots would avoid it at all costs. Imagine 1 out of every 50 airplanes falling out of the sky. Or 1 out of 50 trips to the gym causing a heart attack. Shit would be outlawed... because by any sane measure 2% fatality rate = incredibly deadly.
In your case, these gatherings you defend turned violent 1 time in every 14. I'll help you with the math.... 1 time in every 14 is more often than 1 time in every 50. There is no universe in which something that goes violent that often can remotely be classified as "peaceful". Because by any sane measure 7% violence rate = incredibly violent.
Priorities.
