An intruder shot out a window of the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, entered the building, and held an unarmed security guard at gunpoint early Tuesday morning. The suspect was arrested after allegedly firing additional shots and starting a fire inside the building that is the home of the Colorado Supreme Court and the Colorado Court of Appeals.
…
The Colorado Supreme Court made headlines late last year when it ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from holding the presidency under the Constitution’s so-called insurrection clause and ordered the secretary of state to exclude his name from the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot. That decision has been appealed.
That’s a lot of terrorism without being shot and killed by police. Wow.
Sounds about white.
Yeah, the fuck. Genuinely don’t see how this isn’t a shoot to kill moment unless he voluntarily surrendered
It would have been a team-kill, that’s why it didn’t happen.
I shouldn’t have laughed as hard at this as I did. I feel dirty 😅
The article mentions he called 911 to surrender about an hour or two after it started.
This is what I get for reading headlines lmao. Thanks, that makes sense. Reality set in quick for this guy
He started at 3am too, no danger to anyone but himself + property.
Better to embarrass the man in court than to make him a martyr.
Yeah, either way I’m just happy this jackass can’t legally vote anymore
You don’t lose your right to vote just for being arrested. In Colorado, the person would need to be a convicted, currently-incarcerated felon to lose their right to vote. Felons who have completed their sentences (even if they’re out on parole) regain their voting rights.
Oh for sure but they have got to have this one locked down tight. I’m no lawyer and even I think I could get a conviction
I’ll be shocked if its classified as terrorism.
There’s currently nothing to suggest a link with the ruling about the ruling on the office of president. The timeline makes it sound like the nutjob pulled a gun in a roadrage incident then tried to hide out in the courthouse.
Thanks for pointing this out. Of course the article leaves that this incident is believed to be unconnected to the ruling to the last line. Not that it would be entirely unexpected if it did happen considering the amount of threats they’ve been getting and the terroristic rhetoric of republicans.
This is accurate, BUT
I wouldn’t expect police to look into a link, nor would I expect the most conservative of the mainstream networks to report on it if there was.
There’s currently nothing to suggest a link with the ruling about the ruling on the office of president.
Doesn’t matter. The optics will be that the CSC was attacked because of the ruling removing Trump from the ballot. That is how it is going to be portrayed by the people, and the media is almost guaranteed to fuel the flames by adding “Shortly after the ruling, the CSC was involved in an act of domestic terrorism” without adding the proper context.
And I expect it to have a chilling effect on future rulings. Judges and jurors are still human beings, and we’ve already seen plenty of evidence of multiple government officials up and down the political ladder who refuse to rule against Trump due to fears of physical violence.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An intruder shot out a window of the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, entered the building, and held an unarmed security guard at gunpoint early Tuesday morning.
Colorado State Patrol said in a press release this all started with a two-vehicle crash at 13th and Lincoln Streets where one individual reportedly pointed a handgun at another driver around 1:15 a.m. Tuesday.
A short time later, the suspect, whom Denver police identified as an adult male, shot out a window on the east side of the building and climbed in.
He held the guard at gunpoint, took their keys, and proceeded to access other parts of the building, eventually making his way to the 7th floor, where he fired additional shots.
Law enforcement set up a perimeter around the building, and at around 3 a.m. the suspect called 911 to surrender.
