A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 other people for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

    The identity of the jurors are public record in Georgia, so I doubt this will unless they can prove a conspiracy to harass or some such

      Did you read the article? Pretty clear it’s more than even harassment…

      “These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump," a post on a pro-Trump forum read in response to a post including the names of jurors, which was viewed by NBC News.

      Also, Grand Juries are secret, regular juries are not. That’s why these articles are all referring to them as the ‘purported’ jurors.

      If they did somehow actually get the jury members names and release them, that alone could (and should) be seen as a threat considering the secret nature.

        In Georgia, grand jury identities are public, not secret. It’s how things are done there.

        If harassment happens, actually happens, and they tie it to the doxxing and can prove intent or a conspiracy, then maybe we will see a prosecution.

          But if strange men in white robes hang the jurors from trees that will just be a tragic but unrelated coincidence?

            I don’t think so, but the question is what you can prove

              Spoken like a gangster, thug, and/or lawyer.

              Is it a threat or an appeal to the rule of law?

              I can no longer discern.

                It’s a description of reality, not a moral statement. I don’t know why you’re offended

                  I was not offended.

                  I was describing the reality of how those words hit today.

                  Florida has redefined boundaries by pulling out the Nazi playbook.

                    And I was just describing what goes into the decision to prosecute or not. That was pretty damn clear, so I’m not sure why you’re trying to talk to me about Nazis or whatever.
