A man shot through a window and broke into the Colorado Supreme Court building early Tuesday morning and caused “significant and extensive” damage in several areas of the building before surrendering to police, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
The man was involved in a crash about 1:15 a.m. near 13th Avenue and Lincoln Street a short time before he forced his way into the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, which houses the Colorado Supreme Court, the Colorado Court of Appeals and several other state agencies, according to a Colorado State Patrol news release.
This comes two weeks to the day after the state Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump cannot appear on the state’s primary ballot based on his actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol breach and riot by his supporters.
Police were investigating threats made to the Supreme Court justices in the week after the ruling and increased patrols around their Denver homes following at least one “hoax report,” the Associated Press reported.
Denver police officers and CSP troopers set up a perimeter around the building, and the man fired at police, Denver7 reported. Police did not fire back.
Well now we know he was probably white and Republican. They love to light up minorities, but they’ll take their buddies they agree with to Burger King on the way to the jail and high-five them before the mugshot.
Cops are conservative authoritarians, and so they vibe with these fucking freaks.
Meanwhile if it was a black dude the cops would accidentally shoot each other in their zeal to kill him.
They literally fired into a crowd of people when a black guy pulled out a gun in front of some bars downtown awhile back. Several innocent bystanders were shot by police.
That’s actually what i was referencing.
Odd. They usually don’t even need to see a gun to start firing.
This guy held up a member of the Colorado State Patrol at gunpoint, stole his keys, then broke into a building and shot at the police. I’m amazed he’s still alive!
White privilege.

What is the lie? That’s what the commenter said, CSP is Colorado State Patrol, Capitol Security Unit is a part of the police. edit: part of the police but they do refer to them as a security guard in the article
Republican take on this news: “Totally peaceful tourist visit. Also, let’s impeach Biden”
Tell.me again how fascism isn’t a real problem?
Maga people said they would do this
Maga people called for things like this to happen
Maga people have been making threats that this sort of thing would be done
Maga cops can’t figure out why anyone would do this
It’s interesting how often in stories like this where someone is doing something extremely violent or antisocial (the clinical definition of the term, not “asocial”), it begins with a car crash.
It paints a picture of someone who’s being manic, impulsive, and has shut their mind off to long term consequences.
Like that cop that crashed into a gay bar and then immediately arrested the owner? Yeah…
And the Uvalde shooter crashed his truck on the way.
Disassociation is both blinders to their current actions and the consequences.
Republicans remove mental health supports across the country because that’s how they grow their
militiabase.I’d just like to thank this deranged (and armed) madman for taking himself out of society, without killing random people (and himself) like an absolute coward. It warms my heart to know that another one of those folks is no longer a threat. Happy holidays.
*whistles in tune
Wait Denver Police DON’T have to aimlessly shoot at armed or unarmed people? But they said they HAD to when they shot a bunch of innocent people at a food truck a couple months ago!
“no affiliation” my fat white ass.
Every fucking stupid, terrible, thuggish, violent thing that a MAGAt does in Trump’s name should be done to Trump. Live streamed on all known outlets.
Goodness! I am with child to know what end of the political spectrum this fellow most identified with?
I am with child to know what end
What??
I guess they’re going for the phrase “pregnant with anticipation,” but have gotten it slightly off
how is babby formed
TO KNOW WHAT END!!
