Neighbors of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh are getting fed up with the disruption from protesters who march down their street multiple times a week.
An unnamed source in the Chevy Chase, Maryland, neighborhood spoke to Fox News Digital about the protests that now occur regularly.
“They are people who come from out of the area. They have a staging point in a parking lot fairly nearby,” the individual said.
The protests reportedly happen two nights a week on Wednesday and Saturday. Demonstrators show up around 7 p.m., when neighbors are putting their children to bed.
“It’s not great if you have kids of any age, but it’s unbelievably stressful and the kids are very upset, the kids have to be sent inside and it’s so loud you can’t put your kids to sleep,” the source said.
“They picked the exact time and they don’t care,” they added. “Literally, there’s no way on a Wednesday night you can put your kid to bed”.
The anonymous individual also explained that the protesters are intimidating, often chanting about riots and harassing residents.
“They have drummers, they have a megaphone, and they chant, they yell all kinds of things… They have told neighbors ‘f— you, f— your children, things like that – and so they’re abusive toward the neighbors and intimidating,” they said.
Protesters reportedly don’t follow noise ordinances and aren’t technically blocking the street because they move out of the way for passing cars.
“What we’ve also been told is that this is ‘behaving within the bounds of the law’ and the only law that could be enforced is the federal law that they’re not supposed to protest outside the home of judicial officers, but the federal partners declined to enforce that law,” the source explained.
Last week, a man was arrested for the attempted murder of Justice Kavanaugh, yet the White House still won’t condemn the protests outside Justices’ homes.
At a recent press briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said “We have not weighed in on where people should or should not protest”.
“We have said that all Americans have the right to peacefully protest, whatever their point of view, but that attempts at intimidation and violence are totally unacceptable, and that they need to be condemned anytime they happen, regardless of who does it,” she added.
