On social media and web forums, users called for jurors, judges and prosecutors to be killed after the former president was found guilty on 34 felony counts.

“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!”

    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.
