America has gone from the "age of stupid" to the "age of rage"

Editor's note: Do Americans see where this is going in a country that is now lawless and headed for collapse? What are Americans going to do now? Get on their knees and pray for repentance? Whatever the motivation was for this sheriff to shoot this judge might be a damn good wake up call for the "justice" system in America. The attorney general involved in the investigation of this murder issued a statement saying they are going to "pursue justice." They should have considered justice long before the sheriff shot this judge.

LETCHER COUNTY, Ky. (WJHL) — A judge in a rural Kentucky county was shot and killed at the local courthouse on Thursday, and the local sheriff was charged in the shocking slaying, police said.

The governor said the judge was fatally shot in his chambers. The preliminary investigation indicates that the sheriff shot District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, following an argument inside the courthouse, police said.

Letcher County Sheriff Shawn M. Stines, 43, was taken into custody at the scene without incident, police said. He was charged with one count of first-degree murder.

Multiple agencies responded after a 911 call was placed around 2:55 p.m. about shots being fired from inside the building. According to Kentucky State Police, Mullins was found with multiple gunshot wounds.

State police said lifesaving measures were attempted but Mullins was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.

The shooting sent shockwaves through the Letcher County community.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear issued a statement on the shooting over social media saying in part that there is "far too much violence in this world, and I pray there is a path to a better tomorrow."

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman also issued a statement on X, saying that his office will work with Commonwealth Attorney for the 27th Judicial Circuit Jackie Steele as special prosecutors in the case.
