Armed California man arrested outside Justice Kavanaugh's home

 Washington Examiner:

Nicholas John Roske of Simi Valley, California, who was identified in a criminal complaint charging him with the attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice, was dressed in black when he arrived by taxi just after 1 a.m. outside Kavanaugh’s home in a Washington suburb.

Roske, 26, had a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a knife, zip ties, pepper spray, duct tape, and other items that he told police he would use to break into Kavanaugh’s house and kill him, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in federal court in Maryland. Roske said he purchased the gun specifically to kill Kavanaugh and that he also planned to then kill himself, according to the affidavit written by FBI agent Ian Montijo, who also interviewed Roske early Wednesday after he had confessed his plan to police.

Police said they searched the bag and suitcase that Roske showed up with and found two magazines and ammunition to go along with the suspect's freshly purchased pistol, a pistol light, a black tactical chest rig, a tactical knife, and pepper spray. He also had on him what seemed to be likely burglary tools, including a hammer, screwdriver, nail punch, crowbar, and hiking boots with padding on the outside of the soles. Roske also had zip ties and duct tape.

When he initially got out of the taxi, Roske was spotted by two deputy U.S. marshals who are part of round-the-clock security provided to the justices following the leak of a draft opinion last month. But Roske was only apprehended after he called 911 in Montgomery County, Maryland, and said he was having suicidal thoughts and planned to kill Kavanaugh, having found the justice’s address online. Roske was still on the phone when Montgomery County police arrived on the scene, according to the affidavit.

The U.S. attorney's office in Maryland announced that Roske had been hit with federal charges of "attempted murder of a Supreme Court Justice." The Justice Department said Roske told police that "he was upset about the leak of a recent Supreme Court draft decision regarding the right to abortion as well as the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas." He faces a maximum of twenty years in prison if convicted.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the "disturbing" incident evinces why the Senate unanimously passed the Supreme Court security bill weeks ago. The bill was later blocked in the Democratic-controlled House.

The bill, introduced by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), would provide police protection to the immediate families of all nine justices and other officers of the court if the high court marshal determines such protections are necessary.

"House Democrats have inexplicably blocked it. House Democrats need to stop their blockade and pass this uncontroversial bill today," McConnell said.

...

 It looks like the abortion decision is an emotional one that triggers homicidal impulses in the extreme left.  I suspect the Democrats refusal to pass the law protecting the justices maybe tied to an attempt to intimidate the Justices over the abortion ruling.
