Pro-abortion protesters marching in Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s neighborhood have rattled residents and interrupted their lives, according to one of the justice’s neighbors.
The individual, who spoke with Fox News anonymously, described the continued disruption caused by protesters as law enforcement has reportedly done little to assist the neighborhood.
Protesters were known to be in the community intermittently. However, activity increased after a leaked draft insinuated that Roe v. Wade may be overturned, according to the neighbor.
Demonstrators often assemble twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and arrive around 7 p.m.
“That’s when people are putting their kids to bed, there’s little kids who live on the street,” said the resident. “It’s a horrific experience. It’s not great if you have kids of any age, but it’s unbelievably stressful, and the kids are very upset, the kids have to be sent inside, and it’s so loud you can’t put your kids to sleep.”
While the authorities have imposed ground rules, the source said the protesters are noisy and intimidating with chants allegedly threatening riots.
“They have drummers, they have a megaphone, and they chant, they yell all kinds of things… They have told neighbors, ‘f— you,’ ‘f— your children,’ things like that, and so they’re abusive toward the neighbors and intimidating,” the resident claimed.
The neighbor emphasized that they do not blame Kavanaugh for the protesters’ presence.
“Him and his family are suffering more than any of the rest of us,” they said.
On June 8, 26-year-old Nicholas John Roske from California was charged with the attempted murder of Kavanaugh.
Roske, clothed in black and equipped with a gun, a knife, and zip ties, was found outside Kavanaugh’s Maryland residence around 1 a.m.
The man allegedly informed police that the leaked draft implying that the Supreme Court might overturn Roe v. Wade had troubled him. Roske added that he was upset with the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and voiced his belief that Kavanaugh would vote to “weaken gun control.”
Freedom of speech 🙏
Freedom of speech does not apply to trying to influence or intimidate a judge:
18 U.S. Code § 1507 Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
Just because there’s a law for something does not mean that it’s right. There are countless examples in American history and also modern examples such as this one of laws that many or most citizens might disagree with.
Let the People’s voices be heard loudly!
