Surely the FBI knew this was coming and had measures in place!

[-] psud@aussie.zone 6 points 3 months ago

Pretty sure in the modern world the FBI always has measures in place

They’re only half the folks doing the doxxing!

Maps with the jurors' homes circled.

"The group also found posts of the purported addresses of jurors on a fringe internet message board known for pro-Trump content and harassing and violent posts, although it is unclear if any actual jurors had been correctly identified."

This is what worries me most of all. Some (most) of these Trumpers are so unhinged that people who had nothing at all to do with this case could be in danger.

Cool. Charge them too.

Sure beats trying to help make life better in any way, I guess...

Reflection gives questions, but few solid answers, hate gives you no questions, but all solid answers.

Living with hate is just soo much simpler, you can delfect any problems you encounter to be the fault of your targeted hate group.

Honestly I'm surprised the riots didn't start immediately

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

That would require them to leave their keyboards.

I had the same thought. I was preparing for the Proud Boys to try marching around Copley Station again.

u/gravitas_deficiency - were you standing at the back when the gravitas was handed out, by any chance ?

I was, to my chagrin 🙂‍↕️

I figured all the people who had the nuts to riot were already in prison for Jan 6, so we'd be fine for at least one election cycle.

[-] cor@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

most of the online ones are fake….

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

trump doesn't pay those actors enough to actually do the riot, and he can't tell the police to start it through back channels right now.

Angry Nazis do what angry Nazis do.

...oh for fucks sake these people are human parodies

Lmao, I didn’t believe this when I first read it. I was sure that The Onion had just written one of their best articles ever, but…

"Cult members try, with intention, to indirectly get actually patriotic American citizens murdered - because they are chicken shit, gravy seal, cowards sitting on their couch, farting, and not taking their meds."

FIFY

This is the best summary I could come up with:


WASHINGTON — The 34 felony guilty verdicts returned against former President Donald Trump on Thursday spurred a wave of violent rhetoric aimed at the prosecutors who secured his conviction, the judge who oversaw the case and the ordinary jurors who unanimously agreed there was no reasonable doubt that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee falsified business records related to hush money payments to a porn star to benefit his 2016 campaign.

They now feature new threats echoing Trump’s rhetoric and false claims about the hush money trial, including that the judicial system is now “rigged” against him.

An NBC News analysis of Trump’s Truth Social posts earlier this year showed that he frequently uses the platform as a megaphone to attack people involved in his legal cases — and some of his supporters have responded.

When Trump made a social media post last June that included former President Barack Obama’s home address, a Jan. 6 rioter reposted it and then showed up at the residence.

Special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing Trump’s federal election interference case in Washington, was the target of an attempted swatting on Christmas Day.

When Trump and conservative media outlets spread false information about the jury instructions in the hush money case this week, threats against Merchan rolled in.


The original article contains 870 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
