later reports say that both judge and PO hit suspect

 

an update : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...nded-near-Ohio-courthouse-suspect-killed.html

A father of a Steubenville rapist was shot dead after he fired at an armed Ohio judge outside a courthouse four years after his son was convicted of raping a girl and a few weeks after his son lost his eligibility to play football this season.

Nathaniel Richmond, the 51-year-old father of Ma'Lik Richmond, was killed after he 'ambushed' Jefferson County Judge Joseph Bruzzese Jr, 65, on Monday morning.

 

Surprised this doesn't happen more often to judges and prosecutors. Our local state court judges park in a highly secured underground garage and get armed escort from the time they get out of their vehicle until the time they return to it. They also walk out to the exits before the judges pull out to survey the area for threats.

 

the federal judges in cincinnati had similar precautions. some of the state judges pack. Several I know used to ask me for advice on gun issues

 

our local federal courthouse wasn't built for that level of security and cannot be retrofitted for it. The main federal courthouse for the district is massive and ubber secured.

 

so you have a branch district courthouse. The SDOH has three-Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati. Cincinnati and Columbus have both been HQ and since the Sixth Circuit sits in Cincinnati, the SDOH, western division at Cincinnati has the biggest Courthouse

 

as always ..the judges get protected, even in states where the peasants aren't

 

I have a relative who is a judge. He carries a Kimber 1911 in his courtroom, and he has drawn it before during a murder on the courthouse steps to secure his courtroom.

 

The Judge who sentenced Manson to death (later overturned when the USSC declared all death penalty sentences improper) came within hair of shooting Manson when Manson tried to attack the judge. Manson Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi (wrote "Helter Skelter) said the judge had already cleared leather with his 357 and it was almost in the view of the jury when the Bailiffs knocked Manson down.

 

Now THAT would have been epic justice, well and truly served.
Not counting the MILLIONS spent since then keeping this piece of human flotsam alive.

 

Yeah, that judge would have been guaranteed re- election for the rest of his life.

 

Odd that this story is being reported given the "agenda" of american media to not report on anything that says anything positive in respect of guns and self defence.

 

sort of hard to cover up a story about a JUDGE being shot at the courthouse.

 

like all the other cover ups that are happening yet being reported and posted on this site?

 

Tell us the last self defense story that went national.
