An intruder shot out a window of the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center, entered the building, and held an unarmed security guard at gunpoint early Tuesday morning. The suspect was arrested after allegedly firing additional shots and starting a fire inside the building that is the home of the Colorado Supreme Court and the Colorado Court of Appeals.

The Colorado Supreme Court made headlines late last year when it ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from holding the presidency under the Constitution’s so-called insurrection clause and ordered the secretary of state to exclude his name from the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot. That decision has been appealed.

      Yeah, the fuck. Genuinely don’t see how this isn’t a shoot to kill moment unless he voluntarily surrendered

        The article mentions he called 911 to surrender about an hour or two after it started.

            He started at 3am too, no danger to anyone but himself + property.

        Better to embarrass the man in court than to make him a martyr.

            You don’t lose your right to vote just for being arrested. In Colorado, the person would need to be a convicted, currently-incarcerated felon to lose their right to vote. Felons who have completed their sentences (even if they’re out on parole) regain their voting rights.

              Oh for sure but they have got to have this one locked down tight. I’m no lawyer and even I think I could get a conviction
