This is just funny, right here…
Things are getting rough out in Nevada. Democratic Assemblyman Steven Brooks
was just arrested for “threats of physical violence” against Nevada
Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick, also a Democrat. Some reports even
claim that a weapon was involved, or threatened to be used.
The arrest came on Saturday, January 19, after Brooks made verbal threats
against Speaker Kirkpatrick. Early reports had Brooks actually brandishing a
weapon but later reports claimed he had just threatened to get his gun that
was in his car.
The North Las Vegas Police reports as follows:
North Las Vegas, NV – On January 19, 2013 at about 3:45 p.m. officers
responded to a home in the northwestern part of North Las Vegas in reference
to a report of threats to an elected public official. It was reported that
Assemblyman Steven Brooks (40) of North Las Vegas made threats to harm a
fellow State representative.
During the course of the preliminary investigation, Officers received
corroborating witness statements supporting the victim’s report and began a
search for Brooks. At about 5:30 p.m., Brooks was seen driving in the area
of Carey Avenue and Mt. Hood Street, where he was taken into custody without
incident during a traffic stop. Brooks was transported to the Las Vegas
City Jail and booked on one count of intimidating a public officer by threat
of physical violence (NRS 199.300).
Consummate Nevada political reporter Jon Ralston informs his readers that
Brooks has become increasingly agitated at Speaker Kirkpatrick and feels he
has been slighted over committee assignments. Brooks apparently tried to
organize a coup to have Kirkpatrick replaced as Speaker but couldn’t find
enough Democrats and Republicans to join his efforts. As Ralston says, “
indeed, most Republicans like Kirkpatrick.”
Kirkpatrick was only just elected Speaker for the 2013 legislative session
that doesn’t start until February 4.
The Nevada Democrat caucus released a somewhat non-statement on the incident.
“It has been reported that yesterday afternoon Assemblyman Steven
Brooks was arrested in North Las Vegas on the charge of intimidating a
public officer with physical force.
Executive Director of the Assembly Democratic Caucus Brendan Summers
said this morning, “We understand an investigation is currently ongoing and
we have no further comment at this time.” | t**********3

Brooks
a
that
I thought that would happen only after the DamnedParty takes
presidency and congress all in the pocket - when there is no
enemies in sight but themselves, shitload everywhere. No wonder,
they're gang of criminals and turn violent quickly.
