Brian Lovell, an associate district judge in Garfield County, Oklahoma, was arrested Sept. 11 on a misdemeanor count of reckless driving.

An Oklahoma judge was arrested in Austin, Texas, last week after authorities say he opened fire on parked vehicles while out driving, striking at least one of them, and intentionally crashed into a woman’s vehicle, telling officers later that she had cut him off.

Brian Lovell, an associate district judge in Garfield County, Oklahoma, was arrested Sept. 11 on a misdemeanor count of reckless driving. A felony count of engaging in deadly conduct with a firearm was forwarded to a grand jury for consideration.

Lovell was released on $10,000 bond and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.

Oh, he got cut off.
In that case shooting up some cars and ramming another seems pretty ok. I mean, what else are you going to do?
- Such a perfect example of a responsible gun owner.
  
  Hey! Guns don't kill people! Judges kill... Cars?
  
  Ig someone should have shot him by their logic.
- Driving in the states must be nerve wracking knowing there's a good chance any given car on the road is armed.
  
  And that there are no proper driving lessons or exams like in some European countries.
- Yeah, I got cut off in my F150 once last week, and afterwards I was consumed by an overwhelming feeling of indifference, after which I drove the rest of the way home.
- Just legal gun owner things.

Lovell told police there were two handguns in his vehicle, but he said “he did not know why he would have shot his gun and could not recall any part of the shooting incident,” according to the affidavit.
That's some use of legal language. "I don't recall murdering those women. I know they ended up dead, but I don't know how. What would I have to gain?"
This fuck presided over cases that affected peoples' lives. Sigh…

I mean... what the fuck
- "The judge had a habit of masturbating with a penis pump under his robe during trials."
  "Investigators later collected carpet samples, Thompson's robes and the chair from behind the bench, and found semen, according to court records."
  Oklahoma has us some judges, now.
  
  Huh, so he's a pervert too.
  
  I read that last line as “found semen on court records” …..

Brian Lovell, an associate district judge
...jury and executioner too, apparently.
- How do I hide these images?
  They are getting very obnoxious.
- This is in very poor taste, especially so soon after this senseless tragedy that none of us – not even an associate district judge or Jesus – was powerful enough, or bothered enough, to prevent.
  
  Jesus has been perfectly fine with people getting shot, haven't you noticed

Republican?
- Oklahoma. You decide.
  Spoiler: I don't know, but it's almost certain that he is.
  Second spoiler: I lived in a state that borders Okie. They're all repubs.
  
  Okie here, I would almost bet money this guy is a republican.

I feel so much safer knowing he might show up and protect me from a grocery store robbery.

This should be a !byebyejob moment (do we have one of those in the fediverse? I guess I don't know how to link properly yet lmao)

Can i get some bike paths, i dont wanna be on the road with these people in cars anymore.
- I guess the paths will now need some kind of bulletproof and carproof protection. thisiswhywecanthavenicethings.jxl

Did he shout "I am the law!"? Because that would explain things.

Dammit Oklahoma!
- Been watching Rez Dogs and my first thought was "Oklahoma? Yeah at least he wasn't fucking a fucking catfish, man."
  
  Fucking a catfish is tame shit.
  "The judge had a habit of masturbating with a penis pump under his robe during trials."
  "Investigators later collected carpet samples, Thompson's robes and the chair from behind the bench, and found semen, according to court records."
  Oklahoma has us some judges, now.
  
  Catfish is life

Man got sick of waiting for the new GTA game.
