Grand jury indicts man for threatening Justice Thomas
David Tuason’s threats against Justice Thomas weren’t the only threats he’d ever made against a black person, but they were presumably the ones that got the government’s attention. After all, Tuason has been reportedly threatening blacks for 20 years.
The indictment alleges that Tuason sent a letter to the U.S. Supreme Court in which he wrote: “Any negro with a white girl is sick like child molestation or incest. We don’t touch negroes’ women … Monkeys at the zoo look better than negro men. If this doesn’t stop the blackie will be castrated, shot, or set on fire… We will use detectives to find you … I will blow up the Supreme Court Building … I want him killed.”
Justice Thomas’ wife, Virginia, is white.
After reading Tuason’s rant, you have to wonder: Is he criminally racist or just crazy? In either case, you can understand why he’s been indicted.
Meanwhile, Justice Scalia, who’s promoting his new book, Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges, is scheduled to appear on “60 Minutes” on April 27. Recently he spoke to students from Thomas Jefferson High School in Alexandria, Virginia. C-SPAN has video of his remarks. (Link requires RealPlayer.)
