In 1974, a distraught teenager who’d been previously ejected from Wanaque Judge Joseph Crescente’s courtroom fired a gun from the street into the building, killing the 71-year-old judge and shocking the 50 people in the courtroom. State Sen. Gerry Cardinale (R-Cresskill) said he wants to make sure that never happens again. He said given today’s “emotionally charged” legal and political scenes, it’s time to arm judges and other public officials.

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
