    A few phrases come to mind. The chickens have come home to roost. You made your bed, lie in it. I feel some schadenfreude when these asshats feel a slight bit threatened while my elementary school child has to do live shooter drills.

    They aren't two equally consequential events that deserve equal attention in the media. The Jan 6th insurgence was a much more consequential happening.

    It makes sense that the two wouldn't receive the same amount of coverage. It might make more sense to discuss why the Kavanaugh incident wasn't discussed more, but it doesn't make sense to compare it to the Jan 6th pre-planned assault and breach of the halls of congress in order to thwart a democratic vote.

    Here is part of the 911 transcript.

    DISPATCHER: “Are you thinking of hurting anyone, including yourself?”

    ROSKE: “Yes.”

    DISPATCHER: Do you have access to any weapons?

    ROSKE: Yes. I — I – I – brought a firearm with me, but it’s unloaded and locked in a case.

    DISPATCHER: Okay; where’s the firearm now?

    ROSKE: It’s — it’s in a — in a suitcase. It’s a black suitcase. Um, it’s — I’m standing near it, but the suitcase is zip tied shut from — I just came from the airport.

    He is fine as of now.
    Yeah, I am surprised it even warranted media coverage much less a thread on clutchfans.

    The would-be assassin turned called 911 on himself. He deserves prison/treatment and a medal.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that it was one person, who called 911 on themselves and wasn't in any position of authority over the nation, didn't hurt anyone, didn't demolish and storm the halls of congress, didn't try and overturn a free and fair election.

    It was mentioned on every news source I could track. It wasn't the focus on any of them, rightfully so.

    That’s terrifying. So do you support measures to protect Kavanaugh, Thomas, Scalia, etc. by removing the risk to their lives by removing the incentive to kill them??

    Would be great to protect BB Brett by making the court again a nonpartisan staple of our democracy so that way there’s no incentive to kill SCOTUS judges.

    So you support these measures right??
