Death threats over Kavanaugh support<\/b>
\nSo what\u2019s the \u201cDefinitely Not A Mob\u201d up to these days? One of their card-carrying members out in New York state has been keeping himself busy. Ronald DeRisi, 74, of Nassau County, was rather upset about the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his way of keeping busy was allegedly to start calling up Senators and threatening the blow their blanking brains out with a nine millimeter. The government was able to track him down fairly quickly and he\u2019s now been arrested. (Free Beacon)
A 74-year-old New York man was arrested Friday for violently threatening two U. S. senators over their support of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh\u2019s confirmation.
Beginning Sept. 27, Ronald DeRisi left more than 10 threatening voicemails for two different lawmakers\u2014who were not named\u2014 according to the official complaint released by prosecutors in the U. S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Eastern District of New York, CNN reports.
According to the complaint, in one voicemail, he specifically threatened to shoot a senator, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s a nine millimeter. Side of your f\u2014ing skull, you scumbag motherf\u2014er,\u201d and then mentioning Kavanaugh at the end of the call.
I suppose we should get our first look at the suspect. Several news outlets were tweeting the one available picture from his arrest.
Our first look at Ronald DeRisi, the 74-year-old man who allegedly threatened to murder senators who supported Brett Kavanaugh. We have a copy of the criminal complaint, which reveals all of the «expletive-laced» voicemails: https:\/\/t.co\/L57VixHNuM pic.twitter.com\/HXv85q0NN1

Yeah. He seems\u2026 nice. Definitely not part of any sort of mob, though.
Starting on the day of Christine Blasey Ford\u2019s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, DeRisi began leaving voicemail messages at the offices of at least two senators who are not named in the reports. (It might be a safe assumption that they are Republicans unless one of them was Joe Manchin.) And his comments were consistent and specific. The senators were going to get a 9 mm, \u201c side of the f***ing head.\u201d And whether Kavanaugh was confirmed or not, they would be \u201c dead f***ing meat .\u201d
You almost have to give credit to a motivated individual who takes the time to map out a specific plan before rushing into action haphazardly. Of course, we don\u2019t know yet whether or not DeRisi actually has a handgun. This is Nassau County in New York, after all.
So what set this guy off? Perhaps he was possessed by demons as an agent of the witches who are casting hexes on Kavanaugh? I suppose we can\u2019t even rule out the supernatural entirely until all the facts are in, but there\u2019s probably a more mundane explanation available. Back in 2015, DiRisi pleaded guilty to second degree aggravated harassment in an incident where he\u2019d been making threatening calls to a victim\u2019s home and office multiple times. Sounds as if it might be safe to say that the guy has poor impulse control at a bare minimum. We also can\u2019t ignore the fact that he\u2019s 74. While many adults retain all of their faculties well past that age, not all of us will. He might have just slipped over the edge.
But remember, kids. He\u2019s absolutely not part of a mob of any sort. That\u2019s all GOP hype.<\/p>\n
