Scumbag Who Assaulted Police Outside Supreme Court Has History Of Domestic Violence, Terroristic Threatening

 

     Attack after attack. From multiple armed takeovers of the Michigan State Capitol and attempted kidnapping plots against Governors Gretchen Whitmer and Ralph Northam to an assault on the Oregon State Capitol, the attempted firebombing of the California Democratic Headquarters, and the recent arson attack against Texas Democrats, Republican terrorism has grown out of control. The best example is at the Capitol: aside from the January 6th insurrection, there has been the arrest of a white supremacist with a machete and bayonet, a bomb threat near the Library of Congress, and, now, the arrest of a man for threatening the Supreme Court and assaulting Capitol police officers.

     The man responsible for this attack is Dale Paul Melvin, a 55-year-old from Kimball, Michigan. Born on September 4th, 1966, he grew up in Port Huron, Michigan, and graduated from Port Huron High School in 1984 before attending St. Clair Community College, graduating in 1986. He received certifications for heating and cooling and worked as a maintenance worker at a car wash, a material handler, and a tire changer. On his social media page, he spent years sharing pro-Trump, anti-Obama, anti-Clinton, pro-gun, and crazed religious material; however, he has not made any public posts since January 2017, when Trump was inaugurated. The fat jerk who said Obama, a constitutional law professor, was irritated by the Constitution has a lengthy criminal history. In 2000, he was arrested for driving drunk without a license and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. Aside from at least a dozen other traffic offenses of other kinds, from not wearing a seatbelt to carrying open containers to speeding to improperly crossing a highway divide to having a defective headlight, he has a 2007 arrest for domestic violence, which earned him 93 days in jail and 180 days of probation. 

     In his social media posts, Melvin said another one of the three ways to irritate Obama was to "have a job." Ironically, he sued the Social Security Administration in 2018 when it denied him disability; a doctor noted that he had "full strength in all extremities and no tenderness of either the cervical of lumbar spine." In March 2020, a federal judge upheld the SSA's decision.

     On October 5th, 2021, Melvin illegally parked his vehicle in front of the Supreme Court and refused to speak with officers for over 90 minutes. He did say one thing-- "the time for talk is over"-- and officers noted he had previously made concerning statements on a visit to the U.S. Capitol in August. This term, the Supreme Court will consider contentious issues like guns and abortion. After an hour and a half, officers detonated a flashbang grenade and pulled him from his vehicle; he assaulted police after being grabbed and has now been charged with failure to obey and assault on a LEO. If convicted, he faces one to 20 years in federal prison.
