Why was he on vacation?

Don't we pay him to work nine months a year?

“The last time a justice was the victim of a crime was in 2004, when a group of young men assaulted Justice David Souter as he jogged on a city street. Souter suffered minor injuries. In 1996, a man snatched Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s purse while she was out walking with her husband and daughter near their home in Washington. Ginsburg was not hurt.”

Just the precursors to the Stinkify Wall Street thugs insisting the 1% give their fair share.

It's a very beautiful and interesting place. NOT a typical tourist island, very rural, very peaceful. Gorgeous beaches with beautiful blue water. One rather posh hotel and the rest little inns and B&Bs.

I am SO sorry to hear that they have fallen on hard times from a criminal standpoint. We never had a minute's trouble there, not one.

"At first I thought it said robed. Then I envisioned Justice Breyer getting the James Brown treatment as he sat down at the bench."

While on his knees begging, "Please, please, please don't cut me!"

The Justice claims his property on Nevis is worth between 100k and 250k. I seriously doubt that, unless he has a 1b condo. It would be interesting to appraise his property. I am sure it’s an “oversight”.

Why didn’t he turn on his penumbra and rule that a .357 appear in his hand?

Guess that ol’ ju-ju is slipping away.

SKN hired a new head of national police - a Kittitian who was a Texas sheriff and very experienced in special operations . He brings a wealth of experience, connections and contacts . Crimes are starting to get solved now.

doesn't the US Marshal Service protect the SC Justices?

That's all we need is a conservative justice kidnapped or worse

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving (or arrogant) fellow.

What we need here is a law that bans the use of sharp objects during the commission of Robberies. That would take care of this problem.

Maybe they should have passed a rule that said no machetes were allowed there, that would have fixed it.

Or, maybe they should have posted a sign on their property saying, “machetes are banned on this premises.” That would have stopped it, for certain.

Its his own fault for not putting up a sign, IMHO.

I heard a story about some liberal politician speaking in New York saying “They say a conservative is a liberal who got mugged, well I have been mugged - AND I AM STILL A LIBERAL!”

From the audience a voice shouted out... “MUGG HIM AGAIN!”

The Caribbean island nations of St. Kitts and Nevis have one thing in common — draconian gun control of the UK type. All arms and ammunition are heavily regulated, but it appears common tools are available to arm thugs.

I'm certain that Justice Breyer thought he was secure in his residence and person. Now that the illusion is shattered, will he learn anything from this incident? Sadly, no. There was no pain or suffering inflicted upon him.

< raises hand>

I resemble that remark.

Whenever we visit someone’s vacation home, I work hard to find some way to leave it better than I found it, even if it is just a small thing. Recent examples in the last 2-3 years: Replaced failing batteries in a commercial alarm panel for a 3-unit condo that eliminated the need for a weekend alarm company 30 mile truck roll ($$), as the panel was beeping obnoxiously (Beaufort). Reversed the dryer door on a stacked front-loading W/D set so that the hinge was against the wall like the washer, improving laundry room ergonomics significantly (Santa Rosa Beach). Added a waterproof switch to a light pole down by the dock (Lake Blue Ridge). Washed down outside patio and roll up window shutters and defrosted non-auto-defrost refrigerator (silly Europeans)(Nice).

We get invited back a lot, in general.

Back to the topic at hand - I’m glad Breyer and family are OK, and I hope he learned a lesson. And I hope it is one we could agree with.

You’re probably right. I bet it was USVI. I live in St Augustine, and I know people who are reluctant to sail there.

Is he a sodomite, or is that just a rumor?

Proud and grateful heterosexual sodomite checking in here. Had my last sodomatic experience about 16 hours ago. Looking forward to the next.

Regards.

Ruling to validate Obamacare and gun control will insure the long blades will be out in mass for all robed tyrants.

Well, if SCALIA had a place down there, we'd hear all about this:

Nevis is a part of the politically independent St Kitts and Nevis Federation. Traditionally, St. Kitts focuses on tourism business and Nevis offers offshore asset protection services. Nevis has own offshore legislation, which brings a lot of advantages to clients involved in international business activities.

Our professional company offers Nevis International Business Companies (IBC) and Nevis Limited Liability Companies (LLC).

ADVANTAGES OF NEVIS

Independent jurisdiction
Exemption from income, withholding, gift, estate and succession taxes
Outstanding confidentiality and asset protection features
Stable political environment and secure economy
Well-developed financial services industry
Common law legal system based on English law
Well developed professional infrastructure
Excellent telecommunications system
Easy air access to North America and Europe
No foreign exchange restrictions
Citizenship programs are available for investors.

TAXATION

Nevis IBC (also called as Nevis Business Corporation) and Limited Liability Company are exempt from all local taxes, including income, withholding, capital gain taxes, stamp duties and other fees or taxes based upon income or assets originating outside of Nevis or in connection with other activities outside of Nevis.

PRIVACY AND DISCLOSURE

Information about beneficial owners, shareholders/members, directors/managers and officers is not filed with the Nevis government, and not available to the public.

It's quite expensive to initiate any lawsuit in Nevis. If a creditor or any other person would like to sue a Nevis company and its owners, that person must post a non-refundable bond of at least $25,000 and hire a Nevis lawyer.

CURRENCY

The official currency is the East Caribbean Dollar. It has a fixed exchange rate with US Dollar, which is US$1.00 = EC$2.70.

US Dollars are freely accepted as a second currency in Nevis.

TRANSFER OF FUNDS

There are no currency exchange and transfer of funds controls in Nevis.

The Government of Nevis guarantees the free transfers of profits and repatriation of capital. The transfer of dividends, interest, royalties other profits or for repatriation of capital are not required any government approval.

Likely a share in a partnership/timeshare.

Boy, am I tired of that old sophistry. Please try to figure out why you don’t have a point.

Aside from that, *way* too much information.
