‘Shoot Random Judges’: Activist Eric Brandt’s Words Prompt Increased Security
Brandt, who has a 25-page criminal record, is a regular government agitator, who customarily livestreams his interactions with officials.
DENVER, CO (CBS4)– Security for Denver judges was recently stepped up after an area activist live-streamed a rant urging “the random shooting of judges… execute them, and don’t forget to shoot the police.” The disturbing message from Eric Brandt, an anti-police, anti-government activist, came after he was kicked out of Denver’s downtown courthouse Aug. 9 for not wearing shoes.
Nick Rogers, President of the Denver Police Protective Association said of the video, “mental illness or the First Amendment are not excuses for this vile and despicable behavior. Society needs to stand up and say this behavior won’t be tolerated.”
