Judges of the Davidson County General Sessions Court are demanding heightened security measures in response to comments made by U.S. Representative Andy Ogles (R-TN-05) criticizing the judges who were part of earlier cases against Muhammad Muhammad, the Somali immigrant accused of raping a woman who later died from the attack in August.
Last Friday, Ogles posted a thread on social media identifying the judges who were part of previously dismissed cases against Muhammad leading up to the August attack, in which he was arrested and charged with four counts of rape after allegedly assaulting a 34-year-old woman who died after being transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Hospital.
🚨 BREAKING Meet Muhammad A. Muhammad. He was recently caught allegedly RAPING a woman on the steps of a church on Nolensville Road in Nashville. He is a Somali migrant let in by Obama.

Ogles said that Muhammad was arrested “over a dozen times” leading up to the August attack, but that every previous case against the Somali-born migrant was previously dismissed by multiple judges in Davidson County General Sessions Court.
The congressman listed six judges (pictured above) and a brief summary of their cases with Muhammad, including Judges Jim Todd, Arron Holt, Robin Kimbrough-Hayes, Lynda Jones, Melissa Blackburn (not pictured), and Rachel Bell (not pictured).
“Every judge and prosecutor who let him off the hook was a DEMOCRAT. As long as local liberals are running things in Middle Tennessee, we are at war. The state should impeach all of the judges. Send the guard to Nashville,” Ogles wrote.
On Tuesday, the Davidson County General Sessions Court judges released a joint statement and sent a letter to the governor condemning Ogles for shedding light on Muhammad’s background and pointing out how every judge involved in the migrant’s dismissed cases are Democrats.
🚨WOKE NASHVILLE JUDGE UPDATE
Instead of apologizing to the family of that young woman who was raped to death, instead of apologizing to the people of Nashville, these judges have the gall to publicly complain about my oversight and call it 'dangerous rhetoric.'

The judges, without mentioning Muhammad by name or the new charges against him involving the now-deceased woman, called Ogles’ remarks “unacceptable,” adding, “His choice to employ rhetoric invoking violence, even for political grandstanding, carries real and dangerous consequences.”
The judges said they have directed the Justice A.A. Birch Courthouse Security to “heighten security measures” inside the complex in response to Ogles’ remarks.
Further, the judges sent a letter to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee demanding that the state take “immediate steps to ensure the safety and security of the public in and around the Justice A.A. Birch Courthouse in Nashville” to “counter the dangerous and inflammatory rhetoric issued by Mr. Ogles.”
Ogles shared the judges’ statement and letter to the governor on social media.
“Instead of apologizing to the family of that young woman who was raped to death, instead of apologizing to the people of Nashville, these judges have the gall to publicly complain about my oversight and call it ‘dangerous rhetoric.’ A woman was raped and is now dead because of woke policies, and those on the Davidson County General Sessions Court who let off a dangerous migrant criminal more than twelve times,” Ogles wrote.
“These judges are asking Governor Lee to give them heightened security because they feel threatened by my comments. Where were these Judges when she was being raped? Where were they when she lay dying? Do they care at all about the safety of my constituents? Doubtful,” the congressman added.

Time for vigilante justice.
Congressman Ogles is absolutely correct in calling out these judges, all DemocRATS he alleges.
The Democrat Party is a corrupt and treasonous political party and for that reason alone any judge who is a Democrat simply should not be a judge in a court of law.
When you cannot find justice in a court of law then the only justice left is vigilante justice which is better than no justice at all.
“The law perverted! The law—and, in its wake, all the collective forces of the nation—the law, I say, not only diverted from its proper direction, but made to pursue one entirely contrary! The law become the tool of every kind of avarice, instead of being its check! The law guilty of that very iniquity which it was its mission to punish!” -Frederic Bastiat-
We the people can say the same. WE pay for and need protection from the judges that let criminals out of jail time after time. Protection for them, what a joke.
The judges forget that they are citizens first. No man is an island. Do they have to be raped to death before they will protect the people and constitution they have sworn to defend?
Until they suffer some consequences for their crimes, they will continue to be unaccountable.
IMHO they should be charged as accessories to the crimes their releasees commit.
Thanks to Andy Ogles. The Lib judges who release dangerous people need to be called out. The public needs to know what judges are doing.
Somebody should dox those judges.
What a hoot. The Marxist judicial tyrants who threaten the public safety by releasing monsters demand special extra security to protect them. Where’s OUR special security to protect us from the judges who act as the criminals’ accomplices?
Where is the extra security for citizens victimized by the criminals being let off by these judges?
