“We need to identify each juror. Then make them miserable. Maybe even suicidal,” wrote another user on the same forum. “1,000,000 men (armed) need to go to washington and hang everyone. That’s the only solution,” wrote another user. “This s— is out of control.”
“I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay for what they have done,” another user wrote on Trump’s Truth Social platform Thursday. “May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th and they will pay!”

Get their IP addresses. Jail them. Easy. You prevent terrorist attacks. But I guess that’s too much to ask from police.
Some of those those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.
I’m so fucking tired of seeing this quote constantly… but it’s inarguably a pervasive problem. I need this to stop being true so I don’t have to see it all the time.
I’m tired of this quote being forever relevant.
There will just be another quote from RATM to take its place. Been listening to them a lot lately - there are so damn many relevant quotes in their music…
You’ll never get away! mwuhuhuhuh
I feel the same way about “every accusation is a confession.” It’s such over simplified, sixth grade mean girl bullshit. Buuuuuuut it hasn’t been wrong lately, which is annoying lol.
It’s because so many conservatives stopped socially and mentally developing in 6th grade.
I get it man, I really wish this quote/lyric wasn’t applicable to literally every day too.
Grizzled police-chief: get me those IP addresses
Nerd: setting up the back-trace now, wait, the ip is 127.0.0.1
Grizzled police-chief: don’t give me that geek-talk poindexter, speak english
[Zoom in]
Nerd: the post was coming from inside the station.
[No one is shocked]
fin.
127.0.0.1 is localhost (i.e. your own computer) so either the nerd is incompetent or he just outed himself for the crime
I assume they all share the same Tandy 1000 to IRC with hot-singles in their area.
Not specifically. But this assumes the chief is too dumb to know “There’s no place like 127.0.0.1” or understand that it’s the only IP address that means “it’s not somebody else, it’s someone here!”.
There really are people that dumb in Law Enforcement.
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve made a GUI with Visual Basic to track an IP address…
You’d have zero nickels?
Correct.
Here is the problem: These people very carefully choose their words. It’s not illegal to “wish” all the jurors are outed, tortured, maimed, and drawn and quartered over a bed of coals- along with their families, neighbors and first grade teachers.
See that’s all okay to say apparently. This is our legal system. It’s not until they actually say, “I’m going to […],” that LE gets involved. Because none of that other stuff was a direct threat, or intended to incite violence, or intended to instill fear. They were just harmless wishes. Super okay, and nothing to worry about, you see?
Here is the problem: These people very carefully choose their words.
This has not been my experience with Trump supporters on the internet. Ever.
This is exactly what they’ve done. Notice everything (except for “make them miserable”, which isn’t inherently illegal…) is placed on “someone else should…”:
1,000,000 men (armed) need to […]
I hope every juror is doxxed and they pay […]
May God strike them dead.
They know exactly what they are doing. Doing it mafia style, just like dear leader.
Edit: Idiots downvoting what’s right in their face. Can’t believe facts, only emotions. Just like the idiots following Trump. Idiots are idiots. Here is more evidence for you, on this exact topic from reuters:
While the posts identified by Reuters all called for violence or insurrection, most fell short of the legal standard for a prosecutable threat, which typically requires evidence that the comment reflects a clear intent to act or instill fear, rather than simply suggesting a frightening outcome.
Yep, that’s how it tends to work.
Until you start calling for people to directly start attacking people, then you are allowed freedom of speech.
Yes and no.
There are no “magic words” that make a threat legal. It’s always a question of context.
For example if Don Corleone came to your business and said “Nice place you got here, would be a shame if it burned down. By the way I happen to sell fire protection”, that would absolutely be illegal even though he never said he would do anything wrong. The intent is clear to all.
So it doesn’t really matter if someone says “I wish that guy was dead!” vs “I’m going to kill that guy!” Either one can be an illegal true threat, or not, depending on the context.
Well, would that be the same as someone coming on here saying “Nice federated place you got here, would be a shame if it went down. By the way, I happen to sell DDoS protection”?
It could be the same, for example if you are talking to Whiterose. It’s always a question of context.
We really need better enforcement of laws on threatening civil servants.
These jurors did a job that I might even struggle to take due to the likelihood of these assholes might fuck my life up. Imo, they should be given at least a year of Secret Service or US Marshall protection.
I personally don’t trust the local PD to protect them.
Conservatives make up over 90% of police in the U.S. Conservatism should be a diaqualifier for positions of authority. It is unsafe to give such dangerous people power over others.
Sounds like a terrorist group. Label them as such
“we are all domestic terrorists”
- GOP
And that’s not being snide - they actually had that on the giant scroller at the rnc convention!
When someone tells you what they are, believe them.
Sadly it seems that anyone with any agency to do something about this kind of thing is already in on it.
The real quote is “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
And they have shown up repeatedly.
One of the blondes pulled a smooth heil wave during that, and we’re still pretending they’re just a differing political party.
Gee, I wonder why people think Trump supporters are fascists.
It’s astonishing how quickly republicans have aligned to the behaviours of the Nazi party of the 1930s. They’re leveraging trump’s conviction exactly the same as the Nazis used the Reichstag fire to turn the power of the government against anyone opposed to them.
They’ve been working towards that since the 1930s literally. They planned their own coup attempt largely in the image of Hitler’s 10 years after his beer hall putch. Wealthy American robber barons and elected fascist, I mean Republicans planned to overthrow FDR and replace him with a business/ fascist friendly dictator. Only to do even worse than him and get caught and humiliated still in the planning phase. As a result they took a step back and decided a slower approach would be better. And have spent the last century slowly cranking up the fascism. Till today when people are finally starting to realize nearly a century too late.
I am unfamiliar with this part of history. Is there a Wikipedia article I should read?
Not surprising you hadn’t heard of it. Little came of it, and those alleged to have taken part never faced any prosecution. It came and went very quietly. It’s seldom mentioned today. But George Bush’s grandfather Prescott was part of the conspiracy.
They made the mistake of trying to recruit Smedley fucking Butler to their cause. That action alone speaks to the clear lack of intelligence behind the business plot.
Das wasser ish shmutzig!
I’ll have you know, I also happen to think they’re idiots.
Conservatives are a threat to stable and peaceful societies, and an existential threat to the whole human race due to their climate change denialism. As long as we continue to pretend that conservatism is a valid political ideology and not psychopathy and sadism packaged up to look like politics, they’ll continue to undermine democracy and peace until they get the genocide(s) they keep clamoring for
In the present research (N = 675), we focus on the relationship between the dark side of human personality and political orientation and extremism, respectively, in the course of a presidential election where the two candidates represent either left-wing or right-wing political policies. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were associated with right-wing political orientation, whereas narcissism and psychopathy were associated with political extremism. Moreover, the relationships between personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, were relatively independent from each other.
We found eleven significant correlations between conservative [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad – [narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy,] all at significance level of p<.00001 – and no significant correlations between liberal [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad. We believe that these results raise provocative moral questions about the personality bases of moral judgments. In particular, we propose that because the Short-D3 measures three “dark and antisocial” personality traits, our results raise some prima facie worries about the moral justification of some conservative moral judgments
Conservatism should be openly treated as the deadly, dangerous ideology that it is. It produces only bigotry, oppression and death.
In all of human history, nothing good has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.
Seriously. Is there one person that history remembers as a great important figure who did or would identify as a conservative?
The statistics have Communism as a far more dangerous and deadly ideology, and it’s not even close.
What does communism have to do with progressives or conservatives? These topics are not related. Unless you are pointing to deadly conservative communist governments like the CCCP.
i love how you slashed through that socialist/capitalist dichotomy and got down to the meat: right vs. left. let’s narrow it down even further: altruism vs. narcissism. you either have empathy and want to see other people live well, or you’re a selfish asshole. this is the true dichotomy. there are ways within different systems of law and economics to make life better for most people just like there are ways within different systems to make everyone miserable. intent is what matters. my intent is to purge this world of the narcissists.
…you either have empathy and want to see other people live well, or you’re a selfish asshole. this is the true dichotomy.
Hear, hear! This is really what it all comes down to. I suspect sociopathy is a gradient scale where “woke leftist” is the lowest value on the left and “conservative nazi” is the highest value on the right. It all seems to come down to empathy.
LOL you thought you were going to do something in here with your boomer talking points you got from facebook
I got that out of a history book, you should try reading one.
You first, buddy.
Okay, lets discuss what happened 35 years ago, on June 4th 1989, feel free to invite your friends.
Later if you get bored we can go over some of these events
Oh you want to talk crimes against humanity by the state? Well let’s see just off the top of my head…
- Killing peaceful student protesters? Check! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings
- Domestic atrocities? Got a whole category fam! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Human_rights_abuses_in_the_United_States
China has issues for sure, but let’s not pretend like the United States achieved it’s world power status with hugs. They sat out WW2 till they had a war machine, and now that war machine is too significant a part of it’s economy and power base to let there not be war so they start them all over the place to keep the party going.
I mean, you could have started with things like the (multiple) Bengal Famines, the Holocaust, and the Imperial Japanese conquests that killed twenty million people themselves, but, sure, student protests…

Communism: an economic theory where the stated goal is achieving socio-economic equality.
Social conservationism: a social theory based on returning to regressive “traditional values” and oppression of “deviants”.
Totally the same thing.
I see you’ve read “Everything I Hate is Communism ; an Idiot’s Guide to Politics”
How does it feel to be so fucking stupid? Is it painful?
Not stupid enough to believe Communism works… so pretty good.
did someone say that somewhere?
Bad bot
The right have killed significantly more than communists. We just don’t label it as murder when it’s capitalists, because making “lower beings” suffer is the intended effect of capitalism. Why is it not capitalism’s fault when conservative states fail catastrophically and cause the deaths of millions, but when a communist state fails it’s suddenly socialism’s problem?
Conservatives refuse to acknowledge that capitalism is built on mountains of bones, hubdreds of millions of bones at least, and is still completely dysfunctional. Their criticism of better ideologies is just projection of that.
Well sure, but only self-identified communism rather than real communism. Like the National Socialism Party, the Chinese Communist Party, or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. They were all “socialism” and “communism” where the rights to everything were held exclusively by the state which was controlled by small groups of individuals. To me that doesn’t sound like it fits the bill, but whatevs.
You know, it sounds like conservatism (fascism)
Communism requires the proletariat overthrow the elite. This has never happened.

How is that possible? Actual communism has literally never existed.
They’re a little late, the conviction has happened. If they wanted to interfere with the outcome of the trial they should have done that before the verdict. Silly treasonous fascists.
They’re not silly at all, they’re thugs. They want to influence the next one by showing the cost of going against them.
Now, we’re lucky that they’re mostly grifting, incompetent, blustery cowards, so the risk isn’t what it could be.
but it shows what happens when people start to get organized in retaliation. they could very well start to affect cases. this is not something to laugh at.
we could use these same techniques in support of progressive causes, or we could fight back against their strategies. either way, don’t underestimate the power of this kind of resistance.
They don’t care about cause and effect, they are just angry and dumb.
I mean yeah but in their defense …oh who am I kidding. If you’re still defending trump you’re a trash person…there is no defense.
don’t underestimate them. never underestimate your enemy.
Yeah better to overplan and look silly when they give up and go home partway into phase 1 than to assume they’ll just go home but instead find yourself in phase 2 of their plan.
That said, it feels like we’re in phase 30 of a plan that was probably started soon after the business plot plotters realizing they would get away with it completely.
I’m glad the jurors have been smart enough to stay quiet. Now that the verdict is in, there is nothing keeping them from going public with details about their deliberations, but they seem to have all agreed it is best to keep out of the public eye. I wonder if the two lawyers purported to be on the jury advised them of that.
Still, I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one of them already has an advance to write a book about it, which we will see eventuallty. I wonder if they get to keep their notes.
They absolutely should remain publicly silent until sentencing, personal safety aside. Publicly expressing opinions could be used in an appeal as argument for influencing the judge prior to sentencing.
On the flip side, the judge should absolutely use Trump violating his gag order to express his opinions about the case and those involved to impose prison time as part of his sentence.

Gosh! It’s lovely to see that they are such calm, reasonable and intelligent people.
No, see- they already know that the votes to convict were miscounted. They are currently on a crusade to overthrow it 😅
Imagine simping for this ugly, rich loser. I’d kind of get it if he was at least hot. Part of me thinks these simps are fake people that Trump and team created.
Mostly fake, foundationally created by pootin to get his favorite puppet elected, and to foment civil war.
And the uber-loser maga simps bought and jumped all in to racist christofascistlandia.
These people are nothing, but a bunch of unhinged cowards. Fuck’em.
No, some of them are also insurrectionists who’ve already tried to overthrow their government once.
Yeah I’m not really comfortable with people just blowing this off as nothing more than people blowing smoke.
It will absolutely escalate, I believe trump will absolutely straight up tell his followers to do something and they’ll fuckin do it.
That has already been proven.
They absolutely threaten people online and over the phone.
Can someone please create an organization called “Pride Boys” and make them so popular that searching for “proud boys” on google will turn up images of rainbow flags and gay men?
Disgusting but not too shocking knowing his supporters nowadays.
At this point I’d have been shocked if they didn’t act this way.
What if we gave them the address to Sam Alito’s house?
They won’t recognize the flag if it’s upside down.
“May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th”
…is a “win” missing or are they openly saying they’ll kill them on election day?
Same difference
It’s only fitting for the man with the best words to finally get a sentence
