Soon: Trump supporters who posted names and addresses of Georgia grand jurors online have names and addresses posted in arrest warrants.

I hope. Hey "patriots", maybe don't try to interfere with the justice system when it's acting in accordance with state/ federal laws and American principles.

The problem is, not doing so is tantamount to treason to them. The election was stolen, this isn't the USA anymore. This is some deep state globalist conspiracy. They're so far gone that the only path forward is to threaten war and physical harm to others.

Imagine. Some deep state conspiracy and the best person they could put in power was Joe fuckin Biden...lmao

[-] NotYourSocialWorker@feddit.nu 9 points 1 year ago

It amuses me that they believe that people who dislike Trump love Biden. They can't seem to grasp that you don't have to be fanatically loyal to the party leader.

[-] mrgoodc4t@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I don’t believe any of this… but IF it were true, I think Biden would just be the Lacky so that the true leader could remain in the shadows.

Again I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS… just saying

Stochastic terror 101: feed intel to useful idiots, hoping to have them do your dirty work while pleading plausible deniability. The minute someone buys it from this nonsense the hammer needs to come down HARD.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 188 points 1 year ago

Those grand jurors almost certainly knew this would happen, and they voted to indict anyway. That kind of courage to defend the rule of law is the best of America.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

They're almost certainly fake names, give them rope they'll hang themselves.

Hope they catch and prosecute the doxxers.

[-] JuzoInui@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

You don’t have to catch all the rats, just make a ‘example’ of the ones you can catch. Ranchers spread the bones and skins of wolves and coyotes around their herds grazing areas to give pause any who would think they would get a meal scott free

"The indictment issued Monday lists the names of the grand jury members but not their addresses or other personal information."

Maybe including their names isn't such a great idea? Can't they seal them so that only legal parties are aware? This precedent is jury tampering for all future cases

[-] Cheers@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

Not to mention, if you post legal name and the juror has voted, then their address is already public record. Shedding a light on it like this is purely malicious.

This is terroristic behavior, no? What's the plan now? Approach those properties? Then what? Threaten or harass? Ffs man, lock Trump up and these loonies. Restore civil order

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They honestly never think it through. Every single one of their thoughts is literally one step ahead but then they never think about the next step.

As a result they walk themselves to the end of a logical path and then find there's a big cliff with fires and spikes at the bottom, and can't figure out what to do about it and then get angry. Most normal people are capable of thinking through implications and work out what's a bad idea ahead of time and then don't do it.

[-] don@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago

It’d be a real shame if the doxxers had their names and addresses leaked. There’d be no telling who’d show up to their residences to say hello.

[-] APassenger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Who, even on the full-left, would cause an issue in person?

There's not a lot of credibility to the idea something could happen. Physically, at least.

And if anything happens to the jury members, get those Trump "supporters" as "aiding and abetting" in whatever case develops.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

I’m done asking wtf is wrong with these people.

[-] Zardoz@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

They want a war, and won't stop until they get to live out their fantasy of being able to use all the guns they love so much.

I'll be sure to send them a lovely fruit basket for their patriotism!

[-] roguetrick@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Their names were on the indictment published in national news unfortunately, so this was a foregone conclusion. Idiot trump supporters likely also don't know grand juries are supermajority vote, not unaimous.

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!

[-] Snorf@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago

Is the secret service required to defend the courthouse/jail if these idiots try anything?

[-] dan1101@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

I think everyone involved in the prosecution should have federal protection. That tells you a lot about the defendant and their supporters.

[-] Treczoks@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

If anything happens to anyone of the jurors, just charge those doxxers with "aiding and abetting".
