Biden DOJ Dragging Feet on Prosecuting Attempted Assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh

Well, except the man was mentally ill and turned himself in before he hurt anyone, but don't let facts like that get in your way.
Seriously….the desperation is strong in this thread. More rightwing self victimization.


Like….hellooooo…the guy never even got close to Kavanaugh, instead sat outside, put down his weapons, and called the police on himself. So he is so e kind of Uber dangerous assassin deliberately being “slow walked”..right.
 

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday to make it more difficult to convict a person of making a violent threat, including against the president or other elected officials.

this was last year with a conservative judges majority

Seven justices agreed with the outcome. Two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett, dissented.

This wasn’t an internet or social media threat

Well the ruling does specify communications as the source of the threat


The question for the court was whether prosecutors must show that a person being prosecuted for making a threat knew their behavior was threatening or whether prosecutors just have to prove that a reasonable person would see it as threatening.

Justice Elena Kagan wrote for a majority of the court that prosecutors have to show that “the defendant had some subjective understanding of the threatening nature of his statements.

“The State must show that the defendant consciously disregarded a substantial risk that his communications would be viewed as threatening violence,” she said.

Free speech is not a defense in making verbal threats.

Wait…are you seriously suggesting that since he wasn’t able to through with it, that, it’s all good? We just…let it go?

The assassination attempt on Kavanaugh wasn’t a threat…it was an actual attempt on hhs life
 
I would suggest that because he is mentally ill, and stopped himself, there should be some compassion in how to deal with him.
What mental illness, besides dembotism, does he suffer from?

Not to worry, though, thanks to Rapey Kavanaugh and his buddies on SCOTUS, being batshit crazy doesn't limit your legal ability to own a gun!!!

Sleep tight, boys (and lady).
