A little healthy fear would be a good thing for them I think.
Your letter carrier perhaps?
Pretty much all of them who aren't sworn military as far as I'm concerned.

That should give you plenty of time to escape to Paraguay.
Maybe he can make a movie about Obama getting shot like they did with Bush.
...Ambiguous at best...
Tell it to the judge. If you get indicted on federal charges, and he has only been arrested at this point, the odds are about 90% you will be convicted or cop a plea.
It's hard to get worked up over the safety of judges. If they carry out their jobs fairly, I doubt the extent of their danger is as real as you worry about.
The lowly store owner is a sitting target for armed robbers. And, they are getting robbed every day throughout the nation. They don't have security gates at entrances and they rarely have armed guards ready to put down threats. Yet, there are judges who enjoy these protections who would take away the store owners right to defend themselves. They ought to make judges spend a week of community service every year in the shoes of a store clerk.
Store keepers ALSO face danger from dissatisfied customers, but they face even more danger from professional criminals and drugged up thugs who regularly try to rob and kill them. That's why virtually all store owners have some sort of security system, and many have armed guards to protect the employees.
Still, judges preside over cases involving real criminals with long records and bad attitudes. Even when the judge does his or her job fairly and within the confines of the law, many of the criminals who go before them don't see it that way ~ particularly the psycho-sociopaths ~
Why is it I have a feeling you know a lot about that part?
As I recall the guy had many years left on his sentence so there seemed little need to extended it ~ maybe some other sort of discipline might have been more appropriate.
Still, the news story bothered me a lot because there was a prosecutor beating up on a guy who was already locked up, wasting resources that could have been used to go after someone wandering around outside who really did mean to hurt that judge.
Made me wonder what there was about that judge that possessed the prosecutor to waste time and money harrassing prisoners already in jail! Could be the judge's REAL enemy was right there in the courthouse with her.
Why is it I have a feeling you know a lot about that part? My take on the news is that armed robbers are routinely holding up store owners every day. Their security, a camera or a personal handgun. Also in the news every day are judges showing compassion to thugs and letting them go back into society. I can't see how they can be really worried when so many are so lenient. This is what I read in the news in spite of the snotty comment you made about me.
Hal Turner is kind of like Howard Stern.
You always wondr what he’s going to say next...
Sure, there are corrupt, stupid, thuggish judges who view their job as one of protecting criminals from the public they prey on, but they are in a distinct minority.
What is unfortunate is that we have 4 such judges on the Supreme Court, and if one of our more conservative types falls off the wagon they win.
Still, those criminals they're helping would just as gladly blow their brains out as they would anyone else's. Your typical criminal is never greatful to his or her benefactor.
