Armed man arrested near Brett Kavanaugh's home apparently agreed with Chuck Schumer that Kavanaugh should 'pay the price' over Roe v. Wade

Disturbing news today regarding Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Or at least it’s disturbing if you’re disturbed by stuff like death threats:

More from the Washington Post:

A California man carrying at least one weapon near Brett M. Kavanaugh’s Maryland home has been taken into custody by police after telling officers he wanted to kill the Supreme Court justice, according to people familiar with the investigation.

The man, described to be in his mid-20s, was found to be carrying at least one weapon and burglary tools, these people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Police were apparently notified that the person might pose a threat to the justice, but it was not immediately clear who provided the initial tip, these people said. The man apparently did not make it on to Kavanaugh’s property in Montgomery County, but he was stopped on a nearby street, these people said.

Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling the court is preparing to overturn Roe. v. Wade, the 49-year-old decision that guaranteed the constitutional right to have an abortion. He was also angry over a recent spate of mass shootings, those people said.

it's a direct link, btw, so don't you dare try and dodge. the suspect said he was there to assassinate Kavanaugh and was motivated by the leak of the draft of the Dobbs decision.

again: congrats to the leaker, whoever you are, on either side of the partisan aisle.

This is what the Supreme Court leaker wanted https://t.co/aruD2nY3Oh

This is what the Democrats wanted.

Two years ago, Chuck Schumer (D-NY) threatened Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Today, authorities arrested someone who wanted to murder Brett Kavanaugh.

Democrats’ insurrectionist rhetoric has dangerous consequences.https://t.co/iQhcEyMcdo

Hey, @mkraju can you ask Chuck Schumer about this video given the news that someone tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh?https://t.co/vXGDuR7tUC

2 years and 3 months after Chuck Schumer threatened Brett Kavanaugh from the steps of the Court, a lunatic shows up to his house with a gun hoping to kill him.

Pretty clear line from that through encouraging protestors at Justice’s homes to real danger.https://t.co/vlq7OxeZz8

The Biden administration encouraged this. https://t.co/DHSno2jAfx

They absolutely encouraged it. The Left encouraged it.

I’d like to think that the lawprofs/lawyers who supported mob behavior outside of personal residences would now re-think their positions.

But I’m not that naive. https://t.co/qnTfKSm52a

Update:

Ruth Sent Us terrorists who encouraged violence against SCOTUS Justices sure are quick to downplay attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh https://t.co/I2KTUZ9HV7
