One of our own posters openly fantasizes about picking off conservative Supreme Court justices, and there was an actual assassination attempt on Brett Kavanaugh.

Thanks for that update. What a bizarre story.
Oh snap, I forgot. I think I heard, unless I’m confusing it with some other assassination attempt.
Which poster?
Not saying this wasn’t a crime but it’s a stretch to refer to this as an assassination attempt:
But as soon as Roske arrived, those same filings show, he seemed to make moves toward changing his plans, according to authorities. First he saw two men standing outside Kavanaugh’s home — both deputy U.S. marshals assigned to protect the justice and his family — which prompted Roske to turn and walk down the street, round a corner, and end up about 1 1/2 blocks away, according to local and federal officials.
During that time, he texted his sister and told her of his intentions, according to Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones.
“She convinced him to call 911, which he did,” Jones said.
Wait, how is that not an assassination attempt? You state he only turned around and walked away after seeing deputy US marshals outside the home; I’m not sure how that detail makes the initial intentions of assassinating a SCOTUS judge disappear.
Im confused. Why would he call 911 over leaving?
I guess the result of his trial will show whether his actions constitute attempted muder…
Well it was an assassination attempt according to the grand jury and I’m assuming they have more facts than I do. I’m hardly alone in using that label. Media outlets referring to it as an assassination attempt include:
ABC News
BBC
CBS News
CNN
Daily Mail
Fox News
The Guardian
The Hill
Los Angeles Times
Mother Jones
NBC News
New York Daily News
New York Magazine
New York Post
New York Times
People
Politico
USA Today
Wall Street Journal

Mind you, that’s an incomplete list. I got tired of scrolling and listing each one but it’s not as though every one listed is a right-wing rag.
Hmm, it turns out they have a lot of security… But it was mostly aimed at protecting her. They probably didn’t expect her husband to be a target
The Capitol Police first installed cameras around Pelosi’s home more than eight years ago; she has an around-the-clock security detail; and for many months after the attacks of Jan. 6, 2021, a San Francisco police cruiser sat outside her home day and night. But hours after Pelosi left San Francisco last week and returned to D.C., much of the security left with her, and officers in Washington stopped continuously monitoring video feeds outside her house.
There is video of the intruder breaking her window with a hammer, though.
It kind of explains bringing the hammer, I suppose. The hammer had made it seem more premeditated murder before.
Also shoots down the whole idea that had been circulating of Pelosi being the one to pull out the hammer.
I’m sure the folks circulating such nonsense won’t let facts get in the way of their narrative.
I believe one douche bag Conservative host was trying to to raise bail for the guy on his show. Even though he’s currently be held without bail.

It’s fine. I can handle the admin side of that bail thing. Just raise the cash and get it to me ASAP. Don’t forget, they specified $100,000 in small, used bills.
No need to thank me, just doing what any patriot would.
I thought it’s been widely reported that the guy admitted to bringing the hammers (2). I also thought he said he brought the hammers to break her kneecaps (if she lied to him). Who is still circulating a pre-meditated murder story? Who is still talking about the hammer belonging to Pelosi? Anyone still talking those stories is days behind the news cycle.

What side are you arguing here? Roske showed up outside Kavanaugh’s home with a pistol, ammunition, and stated his intent to was kill the justice until he saw how guarded the property was. That’s a bit more than sitting in the car if I’m understanding you’re analogy correctly
What the??? The attacker confessed, did he not??? People are way too eager to believe insane conspiracies.
I’ve lost track of whether we’re talking about the Brett Kavanaugh would-be assassin or the Paul Pelosi attacker. But either way, I’m assuming that there are significant mental health issues. Because everything about both situations is incredibly bizarre.
