Everything about this story is suspicious. A California man travels all the way to Maryland only to be intercepted by unnamed police at 1:50am, and then admits he was intent on killing Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh because he was angry about the possibility of SCOTUS overturning Roe -v- Wade. Uh huh.
The first indicator something is sketchy is the WaPo with the breaking news. The second indicator is Peter Strzoks BFF journalist Devlin Barrett with the story. Assuming the U.S. Marshals office still holds some credibility, the Occam’ Razor of the sourcing would indicate it’s the FBI delivering the information to the Washington Post.
WASHINGTON – 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 as being in his mid-20s, was found to be carrying at least one weapon and burglary tools, these people said, speaking on the 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 onto Kavanaugh’s property in Montgomery County but was stopped on a nearby street, these people said.
Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates that the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling that 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, these people said.
The man was arrested at about 1:50 a.m. today, Supreme Court spokeswoman Patricia McCabe said in a statement.
“The man was armed and made threats against Justice Kavanaugh,” McCabe said. “He was transported to Montgomery County Police 2nd District.” (read more)
Looks to me like someone wants to keep the Supreme Court abortion story in the mind of the electorate. Perhaps the political benefit was wearing off, so they needed to restir the pot. Regardless of what is behind the story, things are certainly not as they appear at face value.

Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious…
Yes, I think you’re right: there are simply too many “remarkable coincidences” here. Why would police be in the vicinity of a Justice’s home at 1:50 in the morning, unless they somehow knew in advance to be at that exact time and place?
This sounds to me like an exact repeat of the “Michigan Governor” story. Only this time – maybe – there is only one “patsy.”
I agree this is sketch, but I do want to at least float the possibility that police are keeping closer than normal watch over the homes of SCOTUS Justices, especially since the protests that erupted last month after the leak. I seem to remember some statements made about increasing the security on Justices and their families for the time being.
The story being broken by mockingbird extraordinaire Devlin Barrett is much more suspicious, in my opinion.
If you listen to the above video, yes security has been increased.
Is the Kavanaugh family really in there, one wonders.
I read awhile ago that Alito and family had been moved to undisclosed secure location after threats were made.
Why not the same for the other justices, as well?
I thought there were federal marshals stationed outside the judges homes. The question for me is why the protests were permitted outside their homes. That’s a federal crime but I think only for conservatives.
Yes~if security has been increased, definitely that mob should no longer be on the street.
There are plenty of crazies willing to be a useful idiot. They should study the Lee Harvey Oswald case.
Crazies that want fame.
Look how many take selfies of themselves with their weapons, and post on many social media platforms.
Look how many write manifestos, and send messages out about the act they are planning, and about to commit.
Surprised some don’t just call CNN, like the FBI did before swarming Roger Stone at home.
Too true
US Marshalls in 24HR detail at all of the Justices homes.
I’m wondering why they didn’t stop Roske when he first got out of the cab. The affidavit says Roske looked at the police and then started walking down the street. At 1:50am, with a backpack and a suitacase. They let him walk off. ???
It was Juicy Smollett who was perpetrating his hoax in -30 F. conditions at 2 AM in Chicago in late Jan of 2019. One of many stupid people doing dumb things.
Yes this incident at Kavanaugh’s house is similar to the fake Gov. Whitmer kidnapping. Endless lies, misinfo, disinfo, distortions, deceptions, distractions, confusion and fear mongering by the elite and their whores in the media that cover for them.
Attempt to influence decision or more likely foreshadow post decision actions. I’m sure it is already decided (either way) – word on when is it coming out?
I believe they intend to announce their decision on June 13th. Can’t believe that’s only 4 days away.
Hold up, didn’t Ol’ Veepthroat just mobilize the Anti-Life Brigade when she just told them “to fight like never before”?? I haven’t had any “Back Medicine Brownies” in several months so I know I am not stoned.
Off topic, but I love the “Veepthroat.”
Succinct but perfect.
I lifted it from a brilliant Treeper a while back. Cheers.
HAHA, me too.. Ol’Veepth.. Anti-life brigade.. Laughing out loud sitting on my patio..
Many thanks for the laughs treepers…those skilled nicknamers.
A-L-B is a construct of mine.
TY Bananas, I am glad someone thinks I can be funny, sometimes. My family says my jokes are lame.
Mine is Resident Pudding Pants. If you don’t get it ask the pope.
The Democrats hate guns and supposedly love children, yet they worship abortion as if it was their God and they have no problem with guns if they’re used on people they don’t like. Democrats are the very definition of lying hypocrites.
You misspelled pyshcopath
Workingman PHD also misspelled “The Tolerant Left”
It IS their God. THEY LOVE DEATH. Get with the groove, noob.
Yep.
Moloch gotta be fed.
Democrats are the very definition of lying
hypocritesPOS.Bears repeating:
“When four Soviets are plotting to overthrow the country, three of them are KGB and the fourth one is a Fool.”
Strangely enough, we appear to have an endless supply of Fools …?
I’m assuming the FBI drove him, literally, and dropped him off, like in Texas. The FBI needs to open a new Division along the lines of “Profiling,” consider calling it ‘Predicting.” It would be easy to establish validity and reliability simply by observing which media source announces the Prediction.
Odd that we haven’t heard from Biden himself on Justice Kavanaugh threat
https://mobile.twitter.com/charliespiering/status/1534604796061274115
He said to today he was against violence or something..caught it on my radio news.
Nothing from Biden himself yet.
Only from White House communication

Is President Biden saving his comment on Brett Kavanaugh’s would-be assassin for his Kimmel appearance?

So basically this neighborhood intruder is a made for TV opportunity in order to give smokin Joe some talking points.
How does the FBI find all these crazies to do their bidding? Is there a web site for crazy people or do they cultivate them and make them crazy. SMDH.
Dismantle the FBI
Remember they have access to every electronic communication in the country. That is not just phone calls and emails. Medical records school records and much much more. Define the correct search terms, and the names and addresses just pop right up on the screen.
If we think programs like MK Ultra ended with the Church Committee, we are naïve. They are just no longer based on crude tools like LSD.
Actually, some big brains just found the actual receptor site for LSD in the brain which until recently has been a mystery(allegedly) so now they can create new psychedelics from the ground up and tailor their effects to the designer’s whims. Check out Hamilton if you have 44 minutes to burn.
He was just following Chuck Schumer’s orders!
Correct. Smucky’s violent hate speech.
Who supplied him with the gear? He didn’t take them with him from California…Oh boy this stinks to high heaven.
BS
Brett has went along with almost all of the policies of destruction the leftist Supreme Court has handled.
Not a conservative or constitutional judge at all.
A little pressure on him and he cries for mommy
I assume he will change his vote…because, you know, his family.
If he does, it will be obvious that he is a fake conservative AND a pansy.
I think you spelled kitty wrong.
Exactly. Why pick Kavanaugh when he is one of them? He already caved long ago.
I am sensing a, “Squirrelmageddon’, “Squirrelnado”, coming on strong, to likes we have never known yet.
The next few days will be a DEATH MATCH.
Batten down the hatches. Our lefty and uniparty friends, are coming to their own undoing.
When “Masterpiece Clusterf@#$ Theater fails to perform, tomorrow night as planned.
The Crazy Train , collides with Reality.
As my little grand babes would say, ” Just saying D, just saying”.
D, is short for Ma, somehow, to my love bugs.!
“squirrelmageddon” and “squirrelnado” so funny!
It is time for a congressional investigation into all the Democrat politicians and journalists who have been encouraging violence against conservatives. Yeah, don’t hold your breath waiting.
Did they take his FBI handlers into custody as well ?
Surely the man was wearing a MAGA hat, right? I guess they just forgot to tell us. Yeah, that must be it. sarc/
Probably he had a flashlight, too, so they could find him easily as he lurked.
……and he shouted at the cops that they were in MAGA Country now!!
Oh yeah, forgot this Roe v Wade thingy. Thank goodness the narrative engineers are resurrecting it to lead us like lemmings along this path of constantly changing current crises until the midterms.
glowies gonna glow
Does he know any FBI assets/informants?
Just asking.
Carrie Severino
@JCNSeverino
Are. You. Kidding. Me.
Ruth Sent Us is planning to protest at Justice Kavanaugh’s home tonight, a day after his attempted murder.
How long will Merrick Garland let this go on?
Cont…
The level of insanity and criminality is off the charts. The regime and all it’s weaponized agencies love these lunatics. The guy they “stopped” early this morning: “in addition, he was angry because he thought Kavanaugh would help loosen gun control laws after mass shootings, the affidavit alleges.” So to combat loosening gun control laws on law abiding citizens, this gem wanted to murder a Justice. What else is there to say?….
What else is there to say? how about more gaslighting, more BS. The protesters at the residences of the SC justices should have been arrested in short order on day one.
Arrest everyone who shows up tonight and put them on buses to Laredo.
Arrest everyone who shows up tonight and
put them on buses to Laredohang them by torchlight at midnight.Let’s get them across the border first
For as long as it takes Kav to change his vote.
Neighbors of Brett Kavanaugh: get yourselves some big barkin’ dogs and sit on your front steps. Walk your big barkin’ growlin’ dogs up and down the sidewalk…often.
What else can you do if the police refuse to get rid of the mob on your once-nice street?
In the future, we need to cut Carrie Severino and Judicial Crisis Network out of the selection process for federal judges. Only RINOs acceptable to McConnell get their approval. They were big fans of Kavanaugh, as was Ted Cruz.
Garland is a loser; watch his speech at the Harvard graduation/ commencement from a week ago sunday when they did a make-up graduation ceremony for the Covid classes of 2020-2021. It is towards the end. Very disturbing speech. He also thinks minorities are too dumb to figure out how to get a free photo ID during the 700-day period between elections…. despite the internet….cell phones…and Uber….
It’s worse than another protest…
Ruth Sent Us first tweeted “thoughts and prayers” for the “abusive alcoholic” (Kavanaugh) and “we didn’t send him” (the assassin). It was obviously not sincere in the least. Then 2 hours later, likely realized they could get more crazies to try the same and decided to raise the bar and posted a picture of a billboard that was near the Kavanaugh’s daughter’s school, stating that information. It was clearly a threat that they know where their daughters are. Pure, unabashed evil.
At this point the most reasonable assumption is that there are no coincidences in Mordor-On-The-Potomac. Virtually everything that happens in the most corrupt place on earth is the result of some nefarious conspiracy.
Spooky, I am going to remember Mordor-On-The-Potomac.
Excellent ID!
it is pretty good.
I told my husband we’re going to get a continuous reign of “attacks” up to and beyond the 2022 midterms.
For some reason, the lunatic left think killing massive amounts of people is going to resuscitate their image.
I do, however, believe the lunatics are absolutely capable of targeting a prominent person for the purpose of overturning the 2A.
Every week or so there will be something until an all out shooting spree occurs.
This story stinks to high heaven. Why would anyone admit to a crime as serious as this? What they caught him doing is a very low-level offense. He was not close to the Justice’s house. He was not in the act of breaking in, etc. Yet he admits to something that could get him a very long sentence. Why? This entire story smells of setup by the left.
“…Yet he admits to something that could get him a very long sentence. Why?…”
Always possible as to why: the man really is a lunatic!
If not, then quite simply, a message is being sent to Kavanagh, not unlike the message sent by The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz:
“Surrender, Kavanagh!”
Why would he get a long sentence?
Those are only for folks like the Jan.6 protesters, who actually did nothing more than walk through doors which were opened by the Capitol police.
McCabe? Where have I heard that name before?
Maybe someone should FOIA every text, phone call and email received during the past 6 months to ensure there were not any possible “DC connections” in cahoots with all of this.
is this the second guy from Uvalde getting repurposed mid mission.
If this is all it takes to trigger a large number of useless idiots, this is going to be easy.
The enemy can’t do anything correctly.
And when they’re in the open,
Well…
We joke and dismiss but this is quite serious. SC lives and votes are being threatened and intimidated. Where is the VA Gov. is he blocking off the area and posting more security? Roberts, has he said or done anything? One thing is for sure, Garland has to go, he needs to be removed from his office.
He is refusing to arrest federal law breakers. Impeach Garland immediately.
Horrible as this is, wouldn’t Justice Clarence Thomas have been the more likely target?
He ain’t wobbly.
This article is why I absolutely love this website.
Let me guess… he was carrying a hi-capacity 9mm. Looking to blow out a lung?
He was only caught because he turned himself in.
Yes…Hmmm…and this is why suspicious cat remains suspicious…

He could have called to turn himself in BEFORE getting on the plane
According to the affidavit filed in support of the criminal complaint, on June 8, 2022, at approximately 1:05 a.m., two United States Deputy Marshals saw an individual dressed in black clothing and carrying a backpack and a suitcase, get out of a taxicab that had stopped in front of the residence of a current Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The individual looked at the two Deputy U.S. Marshals, who were standing next to their parked vehicle, and then turned to walk down the street.
Shortly thereafter, Montgomery County Emergency Communications Center received a call from Nicholas John Roske, who allegedly informed the call taker that he was having suicidal thoughts and had a firearm in his suitcase. Roske also allegedly stated that he traveled from California to Maryland to kill a specific Supreme Court Justice. Montgomery County Police Department officers were dispatched to the location near the residence where they encountered Roske, who was still on the telephone with the Montgomery County Emergency Communications Center. Roske was taken into custody and law enforcement officers seized the backpack and the suitcase that were still in his possession.

From the looks of this guy and his attention seeking emotional state, my guess is that Pride Month wasn’t giving him the purpose in life he was hoping for.
If the guy only got caught because he turned himself in before he tried to go through with it, and the FBI put this guy up to it, that means the FBI was prepared to let him go through with it. Biden would appoint Kavanaugh’s replacement.
there ARE LOTS OF DANGEROUS AND CRAZY PEOPLE OUT THERE.
One cannot discount this shameful and dangerous reality.
Inasfar as feds intercepting someone, I am also suspicious but in general to make a good case, the allegation of intent is always hard to prove in court. So there is somewhat of a legal reason why the FBI or federal agencies may have waited until a few things happened. Cross state lines. Equipment….monitor comms and develop what the person is doing, shopping, living, eating, etc. I really hope that federal agents ARE conducting criminal investigations. I also know the FBI broadly has failed on so many levels I have stopped counting. But every know and then they do sweep up bad actors before they go live.
I will be watching for more details to see how this case plays out.
starting from scratch..background…witnesses, court filings….other intrepid investigative journalists too.
if the threats were made specifically in an unlawful manner and then the suspect acted on those threats (gathered weapons, prepared and traveled), then there is a potential chain of fact patterns to assert intent can be proven.
anyone know the name of the suspect?
start from there.
Nicholas John Roske
26 years old
simi valley california
college grad
likely charge: attempted murder of a federal judge. (20 years penalty)
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/115
rough readout: suspect made comments about instability and was vague with standard rational questions. Admitted his intent to kill Kav. Had weapons and tactical clothing/gear. Made a 911 call just after he spotted feds on the street as some kind of gimic. took a taxi to the house where kav resides.
arrested by unknown authorities, initially booked in montgomery police district
charged in federal court. Unknown where he is being detained per judges orders. Bail not set yet.
I agree its suspicious, but how does a leftist going after a republican judge help the Democrat narrative?
From his previous votes on the Court… he is not a Republican…
Intimidating Kavanagh and ACB!
We will get the answer to your question by listening to the rhetoric from the Dems in the next day or so. We haven’t heard anything yet because they don’t want anything to distract from the advertising for their primetime J6 Kangaroo Circus Extravaganza they are bleating about. It’s predictable the narrative will be about more gun control initiatives, Red Flag laws to convince the sheeple this would be a good thing. Even some solid Christian conservatives I know are falling for this schtick. Most of us realize none of these gun control antics have anything to do with public safety. Its been proven over and over in Blue states with all of these laws already in place like CA & Chicago that none of these initiatives make a difference In fact, it makes things worse. Per Breitbart, CA has the highest incidents of mass shootings. The DumboCreeps know this. The OBiden Cabal will use a Red Flag law to disarm their political opponents & anyone they perceive to be a threat to their power. Anyone who disagrees with “taking guns from crazies” will be labeled a “White Supremacist Fascist” who helped murder the children in Texas. You will be called a menace to society for supporting the “antiquated 2A”. I’ve already heard some liberals wringing their hands with each other agreeing “I wish we didn’t have the Second Amendment.” They don’t have a clue why we have a Bill of Rights as they weren’t born here and came to the US for the carpetbagging. Their ignorance is one of the main problems with all these imports who come from 3rd world s*&tholes run by Communists & Fascist Dictators.
From the Left’s perspective, the perk on setting this up to go after Kavanaugh is that it fires a warning shot across his bow. Crybaby Kavanaugh is the weakest link in the chain on the court. The other conservative judges are meant to get the message too. Better play ball with the new Hitlerian Regime in town or else.
Now that there’s been a direct threat against a supreme court justice, guns will be used to protect them. Do you think they will rule on the 2a in our favor so that we may also be able to protect ourselves with a gun?
THINK, MAN, THINK!!
The court will rule to ban AR15’s for their “protection” and then they’ll be guarded by men with AR15’s.
I guess I should have used “/s” for the sarcasm.
I guess nobody can see this abortion ban is as manufactured as Ukraine and covid. All, All of the government institutions are captured. All except the Supreme Court?
Yes the Supreme Court had the audacity to fight back against the mandates for the life-shortening poison we are all to take in order to work or participate in society. In many other countries the people have already been cowed, corralled, and crushed by the trial run on the Mark of the Beast infrastructure. The last tasks of “The Great Reset” are to destroy the Supreme Court and disarm Americans.
Fishy is right. Nothing these deep-state authoritarians say should ever be believed again unless proven to be true via trustworthy sources. That shooting in Texas is sounding more and more suspicious every week, just like that Vegas shooting was fishy as can be.
Now this b-grade actor idiot from that same town (coincidentally!!) is out chirping leftist talking points about sensible gun laws.
If you can’t get your tin-foil hat to fit correctly, just remind yourself what these deep-state agents did to president trump, his family, and his associates. That should get the hat to fit better. They are way worse than we even know.
If only we banned guns he would never have behaved in such a manner.
“Anonymous sources” litters the story. Reminds me of the Trump Russia propaganda pieces. +1 on getting the abortion story back in the news cycle. Yep, consider me suspicious too.
Local law enforcement should interview the therapists.
Most shooters have one. How about this guy? Shooters on prescription meds?
Targets? Supremes or congress / senate?
School shootings: Are they elite private schools, suburban schools, or inner-city schools? ‘Gun-free zones’?
Therapist relocation within 30 days of each incident?
New name?
FBI doesn’t know this? Or are they ignoring because they’re in on it?
Spooks are hard to find…
Dream to reality.
Good catch Sundance! So this at least to me belies an ulterior motive, is this a message to SCOTUS and in particular Kavanaugh? Sure seems so.
Satan demands his sacrifices. Re Satanic church of America has filed law suit saying this.
Just demonstrating that they can get an assassin as close as they want, even inside his house, so he had better not make the wrong decision when he votes.
That was my initial thought — a warning shot across the bow. The message is not likely lost on Kavanaugh.
Even if he is indicted he will be let out without having to post bail and the left wing judge and jury will find him not guilty.
“Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates that the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling that 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, these people said.”
So in other words, we’re supposed to think this guy is a completely reasonable American citizen, since for heaven’s sake WHO WOULDN’T BE UPSET about these terrible things, that is the plain import of the excess verbiage in this ridiculous couple of sentences. Complete horse-hockey. “These people” – you mean the writers who made this all up?
This is a point of view I did not consider, especially with TGP reporting there was a group of aborto-nationalists planning a protest for today.
Schumer threats
Wouldn’t it be funny if there was some connection to Schumer? Like one of his kids just happens to know someone in the perp’s family or something. Or a cousin of Schumer’s kid is buddy’s with said perp. At this point, I’d laugh at anything like this, but . . . suppose . . .
I believe your take is correct with the added benefit of further intimidation of a sitting supreme court justice. We have yet to see the official decision on that issue.
Under the definition of fake news:
“The man, described as being in his mid-20s, was found to be carrying at least one weapon and burglary tools, these people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. ”
This attempt to produce a real sentence is awkward and has a pre-written feel to it.
“These people said”? Hahaha! The ole anonymous source based on an ongoing investigation is a dead giveaway.
Why are people being allowed to intimidate SC judges? Is this Garland’s revenge?
I don’t get it either. The protests are illegal and yet they go on.
No Law, but “their” Law, applies only to Conservatives. Law & Order in chaos.
What do you expect from Fascist, Political Party called the Democrats?
We have returned to the days when Attorney General Eric Holder called it the “Just Us” Department.
Just block the damn street! It’s disgusting to see these protesters in front of his house.
Yes. The man is consumed by hatred and bitterness.
Imagine 2A supporters pulling this stuff if SCOTUS was just about to bless seizing our weapons
We all know that would get the full Natl. Guard treatment, like the cowards pulled after Jan 6.
Except the Second Amendment is an affirmed, god-given constitutional right. “The right to abortion (on demand)” is an absurd MYTH.
When you call it “the right to exterminate an inconvenient intrusion into my life as I’d planned it”, you see it for what it truly is.
