Trump supporters post names and addresses of Georgia grand jurors online
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 purported names and addresses of grand jurors who indicted Donald Trump were posted online by Trump supporters on a fringe website known for violent rhetoric. This prompted security concerns for the jurors and district attorney's office. A research group found the jurors' information being spread across other sites along with false claims about their political views. The indictment itself does not include such private details. After Trump referred to "riggers" online, supporters appeared to use that term in place of a racial slur in discussing the jurors. Both the sheriff's office handling Trump's surrender and the FBI declined to comment on grand jury security matters. The posting of jurors' private information has led to death threats against them from some Trump supporters online.
Hopefully the psychos who doxxed the jury members get to share a cell with Trump.
Jfc. These people are fucking monsters.
Terrorists
They’re not people.
They are people.
Calling them monsters and dehumanizing them separates "them" from "us" and prevents us feom trying to understand how a real person, with intellect, feelings, a family, a social life etc. can get to the point where they do such things. If we don't collectively at least try and understand it, we have zero chance of preventing it from happening again.
That being said, I'm not at all making excuses for their actions, which I find seriously violent, disgusting and worrying.
By trump supporters…. You meant terrorists, right?
Can we outline doxxing? 🤔
How did they even get the contact information for the jurors in the first place?
Is it legally public knowledge?
IIRC in Georgia the jurors names have to be made public

ATLANTA — The purported names and addresses of members of the grand jury that indicted Donald Trump and 18 of his co-defendants on state racketeering charges this week have been posted on a fringe website that often features violent rhetoric, NBC News has learned.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faced racist threats ahead of the return of the indictment and additional security measures were put in place, with some employees being allowed to work from home.
The grand juror's purported addresses were spotted by Advance Democracy, Inc., a non-partisan research group founded by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator and staffer for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
“It’s becoming all too commonplace to see everyday citizens performing necessary functions for our democracy being targeted with violent threats by Trump-supporting extremists," Jones said.
Advance Democracy also noted that users were posting on other social media sites the names and images of people believed to have been grand jurors.
— Advance Democracy noted that Trump supporters were "using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur" in posts online.
Sooooo they are going to continue to use his words against him with this new threat he’s spreading, riiiiight?
