Nevada Lawmaker in Jail After Threatening Speaker


Nevada assemblyman Steven Brooks (D) is in jail, arrested for threatening Speaker-elect Marilyn Kirkpatrick (D), the Las Vegas Sun reports.

"A source said he was arrested with a loaded gun after threatening to shoot Kirkpatrick... Another Democratic source with knowledge of the situation said Brooks publicly threatened to harm Kirkpatrick because he was unhappy with the committee assignments given to him by Kirkpatrick."

"Democratic sources with knowledge of the caucus said that Brooks' behavior in caucus meetings had been 'erratic' and leadership had begun documenting his behavior."

1. I live in northern NV. NLV is in

southern NV. I'm a Dem but Brooks needs to be removed from office IMMEDIATELY!! He was elected to make law not war. He is not mentally fit for office. There must be some way top remove him immediately.

3. perhaps being charged with assault with a deadly weapon

and premeditated intent to homicide or whatever might be enough to get him out. definitely does not sound stable.

2. Maybe he's a Pod Person...
