Jeffrie Eugene Long Jr., member of the Maryland House of Delegates (D-Calvert and Prince George's counties) paid an uninvited visit to a constituent's home. He let himself in via an unlocked door and brought along a metal pipe to use during his conversation with the home owner. His message was a succinct "keep my name off your mouth or I'm going to put you six feet under." After a tense pause, Long left the home and drove away in his Mercedes-Benz.
The home owners called the police to complain about Long's bizarre behavior and expressed their fear that he meant them harm. Using info on his Mercedes-Benz SUV, police tracked down Long at his residence and questioned a woman who responded to their knock on the front door. She denied them entry and claimed that they "had no jurisdiction because Long is a Delegate in the legislature and has immunity." The police issued a criminal summons for home invasion and first-degree assault.
Later, Long justified his visit, calling it "a partial fulfillment of my campaign pledge to increase the amount of face-time I spend with folks in my district." As for the metal pipe he held, Long pointed out that "crime is a matter of great concern to the people I represent. Since I don't believe in guns, I often carry around an implement with which I can defend myself." He denied making any threats and characterized the complaint lodged against him as "a manifestation of Maryland's racist history. Most people don't seem to know that Maryland, like President Biden's home state of Delaware, was a slave state. If I were white no summons would have been issued."

heh. Too bad it wasn’t the home of the old white guy that shot a teen coming to his door.
