  1. Well Iโ€™ve said it a million times stop trying to protect the lying trashy women. Yes they will get you killed. If they catch him sheโ€™ll realize how hard it was to provide for a family when she has to play the dads role. Thereโ€™s nothing easy about being a man. Note she won both roles. Welcome to reality. She wonโ€™t be sipping coffee collecting alimony. Hard times on the way babyyyyyy

  2. We need evidence this judge wasnt a tyrant, in order to determine if this is a criminal or perfectly legal shooting. There is no crime, according to the 2nd amendment, if this judge ever acted tyrannical as a government official. Without evidence this judge never acted with tyranny, the shooter should be considered following his obligations to the US constitution. From my experience, judges tend to believe they are the law and not there to interpret it without bias. I can see how a judge, in this environment of ignoring their obligations and duties, could easily have acted with tyranny. Hopefully, the shooter is given a fair trial and is taken into custody without being harmed. If he is justly convicted, then we can talk sbout his crime.

  3. FULL INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED, WE HAVE SEEN MANY MOVIES LIKE GOD FATHER, EVEN BETTER – PEPPERMINT… LAW ENFORCEMENT ROUTINELY BEHAVES LIKE TERRORISTS… LIKE THREATENING A STRAIGHT WHITE COLLAR EXECUTIVE WITH PUTTING HIM IN A CELL WITH A KNOWN RAPIST.. IT WAS USED EVEN BY OTHERWISE GOOD PEOPLE LIKE THE SPECIAL PROSECUTOR OR INVESTIGATOR IN TRUMP RUSSIA-GATE CASE

  4. Why are individuals so far mentally ill that they will murder others such as a judge?
    Is it demonic possession, unwell mental health and extreme abusive narcissism?
    Was the unwell individual triggered and unable to regulate their emotions, then in turn chose to use lethal force as sadistic retaliation to get their way?

  5. This is so sad. I work for a third-party social services agency that assists people in family court. These folks are often at the most vulnerable crossroads of their lives. People in family court often need outside support. It's not always recognized by the individual or other family members. And if it is, access is often very problematic. Just one more area where mental health issues are not addressed until a tragedy occurs. May the community find the ability to provide help for those in crisis before the next tragedy. Peace and comfort to the family members. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿช”๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿ“ฟ๐Ÿ•Š
