flat out fucking terrorists
Always have been
FTA:
"These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump," read one post on a pro-Trump forum in response to a post including the names of jurors, which was viewed by NBC News."
What about second indictment, Pip?
I mean, honestly, the FBI or relevant SBI needs to go dig these losers out of their trailer park and throw the book at them. We cannot tolerate traitors and fascists. These people are just begging for the FO stage.
Even just intimidating jurors is bad enough. Juries are the only thing keeping the courts from running roughshod through democracy is they chose to.
I'm sure after a year and a half Garland will allow the FBI to think about taking a look.
This was downvoted. Just pointing that out.
How did they even get this information? Shouldn’t this be pretty closely guarded? I assume there are maybe a few dozen people with their hands on it…
The names are public. Per Georgia Code Title 17. Criminal Procedure § 17-7-54 it looks like they're spelled out as part of the standard form that indictments take. Addresses aren't that hard to get once you know the name.
That's just fucked up. It's like nothing in the US is considering privacy.
You're just asking for mob bosses to start killing or threatening jurors.
Well thanks for the information. I would have guessed at least in a case like this it would be semi-private at least.
I understand the need for transparency, but I guess the people abusing that are typically breaking the law anyway.
I'm going to say this so those of you in the back can hear me:
HISTORICALLY THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO STOP FASCISTS.
And you can bet your ass they will push it to that. Historically speaking of course ....
Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
Domestic terrorism.
"We are all domestic terrorists" No republican sadly gives a shit about laws or rights anymore. They just care about power
The lack of political leadership on the right to denounce these threats — which serve to inspire real-world political violence — is shameful.
Well, it would be, if the Republican leadership had the capacity to feel shame.
Violence that results from citizens being doxxed for engaging with their civic duties should carry harsh mandatory minimum sentences. This is not the same as "protesting" against government officials. They are literally engaging in stochastic terrorism, and attempting to foment domestic terrorism in the process.
What the fuck is wrong with these people, and how do we deal with this in any other way than removing them from society so they cannot harm their fellow citizens.
The only way to break these people out of their echo chambers is to enact anti-cult tactics. Trying to get someone out of a cult is an extremely hard thing to do. When it's 30% of a country's citizens, however, it may be impossible. If Capitol Police testimony, video evidence, and other MAGA members speaking out couldn't break the spell, what will insulting them and their beliefs prove?
I don't have the solutions to fix this and I loathe the MAGA cult, but the harder you insult, point out hypocrisy, and humiliate these supporters, the deeper into the cult they retreat. This is seen time and time again with friends and family who attempt to help someone escape an obvious cult or religion.
I am 100% in the "punch a Nazi in the face" crowd, but what we need to do is treat these people like they have been brainwashed, rather than them making the conscious decision to support fascist rhetoric. To them, in their cult, we are the outsider trying to prosecute their leader and destroy their beliefs and way of life.
You will never out-debate them in their beliefs. You will never insult them into leaving. And treating them all like the enemy is exactly what their leaders are telling them you will think.
I'm not saying every MAGA member is possible of redemption, but the most success we may find, to remove this fascist rot is with those who were deep in and have found their way out. The call to leave needs to come from "inside the house," so to speak.
We should treat them as the law suggest we treat terroristic traitors to America.
What the fuck.
We know the names of the terrorists that have done it. Track them down, arrest them, 10+ years un prison.
Ruin their shitty little lives.
Make an exapmle out of them.
Fucking terrorists. Are you kidding me with this shit right now? What the fuck is wrong with 30% of our country?
Best case they're stupid and gullible, worst case they're hateful and broken.
Literally terrorists.
When Randall fucking Flagg calls someone a terrorist you know they're bad!
Those people need special protection now. Holy fuck this is bad.
What a bunch of jackasses.
Bet it was the same group that was pissed about protests at the Supreme Court Justice's houses, too.
Who would have had access to this information? I bet this leak could be traced back to someone on Trump's defense team if we investigated hard enough
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ATLANTA — The purported names and addresses of members of the grand jury that indicted Donald Trump and 18 of his co-defendants on state racketeering charges this week have been posted on a fringe website that often features violent rhetoric, NBC News has learned.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faced racist threats ahead of the return of the indictment and additional security measures were put in place, with some employees being allowed to work from home.
The grand juror's purported addresses were spotted by Advance Democracy, Inc., a non-partisan research group founded by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator and staffer for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
“It’s becoming all too commonplace to see everyday citizens performing necessary functions for our democracy being targeted with violent threats by Trump-supporting extremists," Jones said.
Advance Democracy also noted that users were posting on other social media sites the names and images of people believed to have been grand jurors.
— Advance Democracy noted that Trump supporters were "using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur" in posts online.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Someone made a comment yesterday about the orange asshole saying “rigger” and that he’s using it to replace something else. They were right…wow.
I thought that was mighty convenient verbiage when I saw it too. Donald Trump is the deified god-incarnate of every 14 year old internet edgelord. Unfortunately that also represents the political desires of roughly (30%) of the electorate.
"Post names and addresses of jurors" is a really wordy way of saying "terrorism". Because that's what this is. Someone, or a small group, is trying to use fear to affect the decision making of our society.
That is textbook terrorism.
We need to start calling this shit what it is.
They've already performed their duty. Silly boys can't even stochastic terrorism right.
I guess this is what the bloviating one was talking about when he twatted "if you come for me i'll come for you."
Little slow on the draw there, gordito.
It also acts as a threat that they'll do the same to jurors involved in the trial should it not go their way.
Morons probably don't even know how to use a VPN, so they're gonna get caught and fucked and Trump won't care.
The U.S. version of al-Qaeda sleeper cells.
They are cowards after all. It's time we start hunting MAGA boomers and beating them in the streets.
