Law enforcement confirmed on Wednesday that they made an overnight arrest of an armed man near Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home.
According to officials, the unidentified suspect was confronted at 1:50 a.m. and “arrested near Justice Kavanaugh’s residence. The man was armed and made threats against Justice Kavanaugh.” It was also confirmed that the man was from out of state, and arrived at the area by taxi instead of driving his own vehicle. He was reportedly carrying a handgun, a knife and pepper spray.
“The man, described as being from California and in his mid-20s, was taken into custody by police after telling officers he wanted to kill the justice, according to people familiar with the investigation,” The Washington Post reported. “He apparently did not make it onto Kavanaugh’s property in Montgomery County but was stopped on a nearby street and was found to be carrying at least one weapon and burglary tools, these people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.”
The suspect was reportedly angry about the leaked majority opinion draft by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito signaling that the court is preparing to overturn Roe. v. Wade.
While details on the incident are limited, social media had a lot to say about the shocking news:
Let’s be perfectly clear: I can’t stand Kavanaugh. I dislike his judicial beliefs about as much as he likes beer. That being said, I, and I hope everyone agrees, thinks this is wrong and is condemned in the strongest sense. F that guy with the knife.

The fact that he would admit that he was going to kill justice Kavanaugh was a testament to the left-wing media and the violent extremists and the Democrat party. He felt comfortable that he was doing the work of the ideologues

There are several examples of liberal pols and their accomplices in the MSM creating such inflammatory and toxic discourse, that it inspires folks to break the law and commit violence. Just ask Steve Scalise, and the families of that Waukesha parade massacre.
