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.

    You think there’s no MAGA crackheads? How about the pillow guy?

    Just saying you can be stupid, crazy, drunk, or addicted to crack and still have a political ideology.

      There’s absolutely no reason to force politics into every single thing that ever happens.

      If nothing else, it “discredits” conversation about actual issues.

      I promise you, you will like the world at least a tiny bit more if you don’t make everything into something you hate.
