‘No Change Without Violence’: WI Man Plotted to Dress As ICE Agent, Kill Judge Who Denied His Benefits

"No change happens without revolution or violence."

According to prosecutors in Kenosha, Wisconsin, that's what Arthur McClurg, 52, allegedly told a neighbor. Officials arrested McClurg and he faces multiple felony counts after he allegedly devised a plan to kidnap and murder a judge who denied McClurg Social Security benefits.

McClurg also planned to dress as an ICE agent when he carried out the act.

A Wisconsin nut job was mad about not receiving his social security. So, he planed to kill the judge that denied it.

But he wanted to disguise himself as @ICEgov. Why?

Because if you’re going to commit crime, might as well make ICE look bad too. Insane.pic.twitter.com/fQlC0GYNCc

Here's more from TMJ4:

According to the criminal complaint, McClurg allegedly told a woman in his apartment building about his plan to disguise himself as an ICE agent, kidnap an administrative law judge, and “take care of him.” That same judge had previously ruled against McClurg in a case involving Social Security benefits.
Investigators say they found several of McClurg's text messages, one stating, "I will do what needs to be done." The criminal complaint also says he told the witness that “no change happens without revolution or violence.”
The woman reported the threats to the police the next day.
