Man kills judge who sent him to prison more than 15 years ago

Dude in that mugshot looks like Tucker Carlson from 2035

Surely guns are still not the problem in America. The real problems are that (1) the judge did not have enough locks installed, (2) all criminals should be sent to psychiatrists instead of prisons. 🙄

All of these judges and politicians getting their security ramped-up, will the kids are left to fend for themselves….nice one, America.

Protect judges but not kids… see how fast they move to change things if the target are political figures

Very sad. We could have been rid of Mitch McConnell.

The same thing happened to my uncle. He was a war vet who was ruffed up by crooked cops while trying to see an old friend. When they forced shaved him, it triggered his PTSD from Vietnam, so he went crazy and killed everybody.

I guess they start singing a different tune when one of their own gets killed, but when the killing of 19 children were in the news it’s we’ll pray for you..

We will change law and protect our own Judges but screw a child’s life, ironic.

Never understood anybody wanting to be a judge, for this very reason.

Where did this guy get a gun? He was convicted of violent crimes!

I never would have thought a defendant would come back years later to kill the judge that heard their case and sentenced them!! That’s terrible!!!

I bet that his civil lawsuit was thrown out on the ridiculous theory of “qualified immunity”. Funny that the resolution isn’t mentioned in this story. When you deny someone their day in court, you increase the chances of killings like this.

Remember Stephen King’s “Thinner”? A judge conspires to help a man beat a body. It was wrong and goes on every day.

Judges and histrionics: a bad combination. She could have articulated her compelling argument without the over-the-top and earnest display.

So sad, my heart goes to her. Condolences to the judge’s family, may his soul rest in peace.

I hope the Senate do a what’s right.

This is unbecoming.

Once again, the easy availability of guns is an important factor when it comes to murder. Not the only factor, but an important factor. If judges are allowed to be intimated in their decisions, organized crime will take over. If any individual judge’s ruling is at odds with existing law or legal precedent, there is an appeals process for that. Wish I hadn’t scrolled down. It always sickens me to see victim-blaming.

As an Australian, I don ‘t understand the mentality of the American people to insist they need guns to protect themselves. When was the last time this occurred? Was it at any of the mass church and school shootings this year, or the single murders this year or last year. It is a crazy notion to think you need a gun in the first place. Thank goodness our Prime Minister some years back after a mass shooting in Tasmania declared a gun amnesty and buy back, made with parliament approval and the voice of the people, made so many weapons illegal or only available to a licensed holder. Most of our gun crimes are related to gang warfare and even they are few and far between in the scheme of things.
