Abortion Activist’s Sister Convinced Him to Not Assassinate Justice Kavanaugh, Call 911 Instead

The sister of the abortion activist who considered assassinating Justice Brett Kavanaugh talked him out of potentially killing the conservative Supreme Court justice and calling 911 instead.

Last week, a California man who said he was angry that the Supreme Court may soon overturn Roe v. Wade has been charged with threatening to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh outside his Maryland home early Wednesday morning.

Nicholas John Roske, 26, of Simi Valley, California, was arrested around 1:50 a.m. Wednesday morning near Kavanaugh’s home, according to authorities. Police said he was armed with a pistol, knife, pepper spray, zip ties, a hammer and crowbar, according to USA Today.

Roske allegedly threatened to kill Kavanaugh because he was upset that the justice may overturn Roe this summer and allow states to protect unborn babies from abortion again, according to the criminal complaint.

Now, new reports indicate his sister is the one who talked him out of attempting to kill the associate justice:

“The suspect arrived by taxi and observed the U.S. marshals, and he turned around to contemplate his next move,” Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones said in a statement to the Washington Post. “This is when he texted his sister and told her of his intentions, and she convinced him to call 911, which he did.”

During the call, which lasted approximately 15 minutes, Roske could be heard saying that he was “having thoughts” and came from California in order to “act on them.” When asked if he had access to weapons, he said he had a firearm that was unloaded  and in a suitcase that was “ziptied shut.”

It is currently unknown what Roske and his sister said to each other in their text conversation, but police believe it is what led to him abandoning his plans to murder the Supreme Court justice.

Roske later told cops that he had been upset about a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that suggested the court was poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.

If convicted, Roske faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison for attempted murder of a United States judge.

Authorities said Roske told them that he decided to kill the Supreme Court justice after “thinking about how to give his life a purpose,” according to court documents.

“Roske further indicated that he had purchased the Glock pistol and other items for the purpose of breaking into the justice’s residence and killing the justice as well as himself,” FBI special agent Ian Montijo said in an affidavit.

Roske also told police he found the justice’s home address online, according to the report.

Days after a leaked draft ruling showed the Supreme Court overturning Roethe pro-abortion group Ruth Sent Us published the addresses of the conservative justices’ homes online publicly – prompting authorities to increase security for the high court members and their staff.

Wide-spread condemnation of the attack from other Democrat leaders was noticeably absent late Wednesday. LifeNews could not find any statements from Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the Democratic National Committee or other party leaders about the alleged assassination attempt.

Others noticed, too.

“Are there lots of tweets from the Left condemning assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh?” wrote Ed Whelan, of National Review and the Ethics and Public Policy Center. “I’m sure not seeing them, but perhaps they’re not ending up in my Twitter feed.”

No one cited any examples in response to Whelan’s request.

Earlier Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Vicky Hartzler, a pro-life Republican from Missouri, reminded Americans that U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a pro-abortion Democrat, threatened Kavanaugh by name a few years ago if he dared to overturn Roe.

“Senator Schumer told Justice Kavanaugh that he will ‘pay the price’ for decisions Democrats don’t like,” Hartzler wrote on Twitter. “And he is leading the Senate? Reprehensible.”

Yesterday, abortion activists blocked streets around the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. as Americans await the justices’ ruling on a major Mississippi abortion case.

A report from the Department of Homeland Security in mid-May warned that radical abortion activists plan to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their law clerks if the court overturns Roe. The report indicates these pro-abortion extremists also plan to target churches and other places of worship with violence and vandalism.
