Alaska man charged with threatening to assassinate 6 Supreme Court justices

An Alaska man was charged and arrested Wednesday for sending numerous graphic and violent messages through a public Supreme Court communications portal that threatened to injure and kill six justices, according to court filings and the Justice Department.

Some of the messages, according to court filings, used the N-word in threats to "lynch" a justice - identified in the filings as "Supreme Court Justice 1" - while also threatening the justice's "insurrectionist wife." Other messages refer to shooting another justice - identified "Supreme Court Justice 2" - and killing his wife, and another alleged message threatened six justices total, saying that they should "be AFRAID very AFRAID to leave their home and fear for their lives everyday."
