A man who phoned the cops to say he was outside Kavanaugh's house is being arraigned today

Meanhile the persons who invaded Shaye Moss’ grandmother’s house looking for Shaye and her mother to make a citizen’s arrest (based on the Slobfather’s lies) are still walking free.
How odd.

Once again... attempted murder is worse than carrying a gun.

Trying to compare the two simply makes us look irrational.

.... might also want the added protection of not having someone coming to our front door with a gun.

Or is that right reserved only for the privileged class?

Ones a “ Home invasion “ with a threat of force which literally makes it the same class offense as “attempted murder”. The other is someone who had an obvious mental condition, who called someone to stop him without making an attempt on the purported victim’s life. Yes there’s a distinction, just not the one you think you see.

That's stretching the bounds of imagination past the breaking point.

The described conduct (while beyond anything acceptable and almost certainly criminal) does not come close to "home invasion".

In GA, that offense involves the use of a deadly weapon with the intent to commit some other forcible felony.

The very idea that an armed guy who actually tells LEO's that he's on the premises of a target whom he is accused of attempting to murder......fade to internal conversation.......Okay, let me see....how do I justify my attempted murder of a guy that really deserves murdering? An attempt which I never actually attempted to attempt. Questions! Oh, okay, checklist, gun, got it, called cops to self-rat, done. Didn't actually wave my gun or break into house of terrorist judge/target. Surely that separates me from the Jan. 6th clowns, I mean they didn't self-report, at least nobody came and arrested them. Still, BTW, haven't arrested 90% of the SOB's. So why are they down my throat so hard, so quick? Why do I allow myself to care so much? Care at all? Who are these people with the uniforms and the badges and the SWAT stuff between their ears? Fellow citizens? Oh, FFS!

was going to kidnap and/or kill Injustice K has a long history of mental illness and psychiatric hospitalizations, from what I read at the time. He was upset by the upcoming end of Roe, and believed the USSC was going to loosen gun laws. In a curious way, he joined the club of reasons some people should never have access to guns.

Also, while he was at it, he spotlighted why guns are a clear and present danger to conservative judges. The nuhweeyv! Puluus, he broadcast his own internal conversation so loudly that I could hear it all the way down here. Again, so unlike the Capitol Cretins whose internal conversation was more like the deafening echo of bats shrieking amidst the chirping of deranged crickets. You guys don't hear that? Seriously? Must be the acoustics. Like the Spanish moss is some kind of antennae or our hearing has become hyper-attuned by continuously monitoring DeSantis, picking up his meaning, the threats lingering between his words.

Nicholas John Roske was carrying a gun, knife, pepper spray and burglary tools when he was busted on June 8. He told police he wanted to kill Kavanaugh because he feared he would overturn Roe v. Wade following the leak of a draft opinion, prosecutors said.

….

When he arrived outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland home, he was spotted by two US Marshals who have been providing around-the-clock security due to ongoing protests outside justice’s homes in the wake of the Roe v. Wade leak.

He noticed the marshals and then walked down the block and called 911, telling the operator he was having suicidal thoughts and had a firearm on him. He also told the operator he wanted to kill Kavanaugh.

Roske was still on the phone when Montgomery County cops got to the scene and arrested him.
