MAIN IDEAS
This was Stephen Breyer, a Supreme Court Justice, who was robbed while in his vacation home in the Carribean. A machete wielding intruder entered his house and robbed him of about 1000$ in cash. No one was hurt. Breyer has had several previous incidents, but those have rather been accidents more so than attacks. He is currently 72 years old. In 1993, a year before joining the court, he was hit by a car, breaking several ribs and puncturing a lung.
CONCLUSION
I think it is great that Stephen is okay, and that he was not hurt during this incident. I think it is also something to wonder at how safe his vacation homes are that he got robbed apparently so easily. I also find it quite funny in the first place that there was a whole article just on this justice getting robbed. Then again, the supreme court is very important and if one member gets hurt or even killed it means that the court has to take all that time to appoint another judge.
While reading this article i learned many things. A 72 year old Supreme Court Justice ,Stephen Breyer was robbed by a machete holding intruder in his vacation home in the Carribean. Nobody is safe in this world of ours. Many people are unlucky.

Considering that Stephen Breyer, a Supreme Court Justice, has been in previous accidents including being hit by a car in 1993, I wonder if he should in fact still have the job he has. Of course accidents and robberies can happen to anyone, but for them to happen so many times to someone in such a powerful and important position in Politics can be potentially hurtful to the purpose he serves. For example his experiences and health can contribute to affect his job and thus the people involved in the Supreme Court System.
