Kentucky Judge Shot and Killed by Local Sheriff

An absolutely outrageous murder blew up the internet on Thursday night.

In Kentucky, a local sheriff reportedly got into an argument with a judge, pulled his weapon, then shot and killed the jurist.

The sheriff reportedly turned himself over to authorities without incident after the murder.

Enough!

Over the last decade, judges have been regularly attacked, and I believe much of this is fueled by our political world.

How many times have Democrats encouraged violence against our Supreme Court justices?

It was Senator Schumer (D-N.Y.) who stood on the steps of the court and blatantly threatened Justice Kavanaugh, among others.

The right is not without fault here, as judges have regularly been hit with venom in Donald Trump’s cases when a decision is announced that is not in Trump’s favor.

There is nothing wrong with criticism of judges, but when threats are issued, that is just a line that I never thought I would see crossed in this country.

This political rhetoric registers with the lunatics on both sides of the aisle, then we see people jump over benches or travel to DC to try to assassinate a justice.

It has become the norm, but this one was just far worse.

District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, was shot and killed in his chambers in the Letcher County courthouse in Whitesburg, KY, after getting into an argument with Letcher County Sheriff Shawn M. Stines, 43.

Stines reportedly pulled his weapon and fired numerous times, striking and killing the judge.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear stated, "There is far too much violence in this world, and I pray there is a path to a better tomorrow.”

The Kentucky Court of Justice added, "At this moment, we are not able to share further details, but we will provide updates as more information becomes available.

"Our deepest sympathies go out to all those impacted by this tragic event, and our thoughts and prayers are with the community during this challenging time."

We don't know what the argument was about at this point, but it should not have cost the judge his life.

We need to find some normalcy in this country at some point, but I'm not sure when the madness will end.
