One of Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor's bodyguards discharged his weapon in an effort to stop a carjacking. While it appears that Sotomayor wasn't a target of anything, it's still amusing that an anti-gun justice has armed bodyguards, one of whom was involved in a defensive gun use. Non Life-threatening scenario. https://bearingarms.com/tomkni...e3e8139f308bd8a1cb93 | ||

Kinda hypocritical. Guns for me, no guns for thee. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Too bad she wasn’t involved. She may have learned something about the constitution trying to negotiate nicely with the carjacker. A missed opportunity. | |||

Not just "bodyguards". US Marshals. The USMS provides security for federal judges, much like the Secret Service does for the President, the Diplomatic Security Service does for the Secretary of State and visiting foreign dignitaries, etc. Some dumbass 18 year old tried to carjack a couple of federal agents in an unmarked car. | |||

Was going to say if you point a gun at two U.S. Marshals, good chance you're going to get shot. _________________________ "Age does not bring wisdom. Often it merely changes simple stupidity into arrogant conceit. It's only advantage, so far as I have been able to see, is that it spans change. A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it." Robert Heinlein | |||

I think the other other hand has the makings of an executive order. | |||

I believe that phrase was originated by Bill Gates. So feel free to use your sack of Doorknobs if you ever meet the man. I've stopped counting. | |||

I'll bet she didn't know that the nice young men sitting out in front of her house had...you know, those things. Nobody told her so it isn't her fault. She should request a lawyer or maybe a couple of crossing guards to fend off rudeness as soon as she has the meany pants marshals redeployed to Adak _______________________ | |||

Why the thug survived is the question I would like answered. Agent did hit him in the face ... so there is that. | |||

She should have unarmed bodyguards. Walk the walk. | |||

I carry a gun because US marshals are too heavy. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

It was just a car. No car is worth a human being's life.  | |||

The article I read describes the incident as an 18 year old suspect exited a vehicle, approached a vehicle the Marshal was sitting in while on the protection detail, pointed a firearm at the Marshal and attempted to car jack him. Everything that followed is expected. That Marshal fired as did a 2nd. This kid tried to cancel his ticket by carjacking federal officers on a protection detail.
