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!”

    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.

        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.
