In June 2022, a chilling plot to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was thwarted, revealing a complex web of motives, mental health struggles, and political extremism.
Not surprised that media ignored the issues. The young man was disturbed and perhaps imagined himself a hero to be praised by the media. In either case ignorance or celebration revolves around a biased media. Perhaps they can’t see the damage they create via noticeable bias promoting sheer propaganda filled with half truths. Maybe public opinion will force correction as the political pendulum swings.
This was an obvious case where political ideology steered the presstitute coverage of the incident.
Almost no one talks about the intended killing of a Supreme Court justice because that would just be 1 of 9 votes. However, tis miscreant was planning to kill 3!
I would also link this attempted murder story to the call of Sen Chuck Schumer calling for justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh to "reap the whirlwind" when he ranted like a lunatic in front of the Supreme Court building several years ago.
Kids don't start life messed up. Lousy parents and other sickening factors are the reason this person can't feel accepted as a biological male.
As for anger over SCOTUS opinions? They brought it on themselves.
Opinions are not ratified by the public. Judicial Review is an implied power if and only if the opinion is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive with respect to the US Constitution. For all practical purposes, this means that the legal question must be a tautology with respect to the US Constitution (no discretion as to whether it is constitutional). Otherwise, none of their business.
When people feel helpless to determine their lives, they will get violent and have done so for thousands of years. In fact, without this basic instinct, there would be no USA.
SCOTUS acts like members the Nazi High Command. Even some of Hitler's generals tried to assassinate him.
Most SCOTUS opinions are not symmetric with respect to the US constitution. I assumed the justices knew they were wrong, but having taught the math of social science, I then realized that law schools are all heuristics when teaching constitutional law. Just memorizing, no higher learning.
Why didn't the media report the incident? I think Roger is correct in his assumptions about media bias, but I note that no one cared is also a reason.
SCOTUS is how law is interpreted. They look at the Constitution and previous rulings to make their decisions. Calling them “Nazi” is incendiary in the same way that calling Charlie Kirk a fascist was. It creates enmity. Those who call others Nazis and fascists always fail to see how hypocritical they truly are.
The court often is attentive to social opinion. Roe was a bad decision when made and since has caused all sorts of legal dilemmas. Trying to adjudicate individual right in the case of abortion is more than complex. Neither law nor politicians should dare to decide. The law may be called upon in case of dispute. But once it became a wedge issue involvement of the Supreme Court became political, a very bad thing. Any such adjudication needs to be in lower courts. Perhaps it involves an individual’s sense of morality. Rights of the child, mother and father are to be protected. Sadly the knee jerk reaction of states has been awful and it will take time to rectify. It should be the domain of lower courts. Each case is unique. At least abortion needs to be a process requiring some thought.

It all boils down to the fact that Diversity leads to a culture of less and less consensus, until the situation ultimately becomes unmanageable.
evil demonicrat leftists did it
