Get their IP addresses. Jail them. Easy. You prevent terrorist attacks. But I guess that's too much to ask from police.

Some of those those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.
I'm so fucking tired of seeing this quote constantly... but it's inarguably a pervasive problem. I need this to stop being true so I don't have to see it all the time.
I'm tired of this quote being forever relevant.

Here is the problem: These people very carefully choose their words. It’s not illegal to “wish” all the jurors are outed, tortured, maimed, and drawn and quartered over a bed of coals- along with their families, neighbors and first grade teachers.
See that’s all okay to say apparently. This is our legal system. It’s not until they actually say, “I’m going to […],” that LE gets involved. Because none of that other stuff was a direct threat, or intended to incite violence, or intended to instill fear. They were just harmless wishes. Super okay, and nothing to worry about, you see?

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.
Edit: Idiots downvoting what’s right in their face. Can’t believe facts, only emotions. Just like the idiots following Trump. Idiots are idiots. Here is more evidence for you, on this exact topic from reuters:
While the posts identified by Reuters all called for violence or insurrection, most fell short of the legal standard for a prosecutable threat, which typically requires evidence that the comment reflects a clear intent to act or instill fear, rather than simply suggesting a frightening outcome.

Yes and no.
There are no "magic words" that make a threat legal. It's always a question of context.
For example if Don Corleone came to your business and said "Nice place you got here, would be a shame if it burned down. By the way I happen to sell fire protection", that would absolutely be illegal even though he never said he would do anything wrong. The intent is clear to all.
So it doesn't really matter if someone says "I wish that guy was dead!" vs "I'm going to kill that guy!" Either one can be an illegal true threat, or not, depending on the context.

We really need better enforcement of laws on threatening civil servants.
These jurors did a job that I might even struggle to take due to the likelihood of these assholes might fuck my life up. Imo, they should be given at least a year of Secret Service or US Marshall protection.
I personally don't trust the local PD to protect them.
Conservatives make up over 90% of police in the U.S. Conservatism should be a diaqualifier for positions of authority. It is unsafe to give such dangerous people power over others.
Sounds like a terrorist group. Label them as such
"we are all domestic terrorists"
- GOP
And that's not being snide - they actually had that on the giant scroller at the rnc convention!

Gee, I wonder why people think Trump supporters are fascists.
It's astonishing how quickly republicans have aligned to the behaviours of the Nazi party of the 1930s. They're leveraging trump's conviction exactly the same as the Nazis used the Reichstag fire to turn the power of the government against anyone opposed to them.

Conservatives are a threat to stable and peaceful societies, and an existential threat to the whole human race due to their climate change denialism. As long as we continue to pretend that conservatism is a valid political ideology and not psychopathy and sadism packaged up to look like politics, they'll continue to undermine democracy and peace until they get the genocide(s) they keep clamoring for
In the present research (N = 675), we focus on the relationship between the dark side of human personality and political orientation and extremism, respectively, in the course of a presidential election where the two candidates represent either left-wing or right-wing political policies. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were associated with right-wing political orientation, whereas narcissism and psychopathy were associated with political extremism. Moreover, the relationships between personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, were relatively independent from each other.
We found eleven significant correlations between conservative [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad – [narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy,] all at significance level of p<.00001 – and no significant correlations between liberal [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad. We believe that these results raise provocative moral questions about the personality bases of moral judgments. In particular, we propose that because the Short-D3 measures three “dark and antisocial” personality traits, our results raise some prima facie worries about the moral justification of some conservative moral judgments
Conservatism should be openly treated as the deadly, dangerous ideology that it is. It produces only bigotry, oppression and death.
In all of human history, nothing good has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all.

They're a little late, the conviction has happened. If they wanted to interfere with the outcome of the trial they should have done that before the verdict. Silly treasonous fascists.
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.

They don't care about cause and effect, they are just angry and dumb.
I mean yeah but in their defense ....oh who am I kidding. If you're still defending trump you're a trash person...there is no defense.

I'm glad the jurors have been smart enough to stay quiet. Now that the verdict is in, there is nothing keeping them from going public with details about their deliberations, but they seem to have all agreed it is best to keep out of the public eye. I wonder if the two lawyers purported to be on the jury advised them of that.
Still, I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them already has an advance to write a book about it, which we will see eventuallty. I wonder if they get to keep their notes.
They absolutely should remain publicly silent until sentencing, personal safety aside. Publicly expressing opinions could be used in an appeal as argument for influencing the judge prior to sentencing.
On the flip side, the judge should absolutely use Trump violating his gag order to express his opinions about the case and those involved to impose prison time as part of his sentence.

Imagine simping for this ugly, rich loser. I’d kind of get it if he was at least hot. Part of me thinks these simps are fake people that Trump and team created.
Mostly fake, foundationally created by pootin to get his favorite puppet elected, and to foment civil war.
And the uber-loser maga simps bought and jumped all in to racist christofascistlandia.
These people are nothing, but a bunch of unhinged cowards. Fuck'em.
No, some of them are also insurrectionists who've already tried to overthrow their government once.

Can someone please create an organization called "Pride Boys" and make them so popular that searching for "proud boys" on google will turn up images of rainbow flags and gay men?
“May God strike them dead. We will on November 5th”
…is a “win” missing or are they openly saying they’ll kill them on election day?

It's only fitting for the man with the best words to finally get a sentence
I counter attack with, using their names to create an online fund raiser to make these reasonable people rich.
Notice how there were never any big protests or demonstrations at the actual courthouse.
