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!”

    The trial was in Manhattan, so that rules out Staten Island. Manhattan alone only voted 14.5% [1] for Trump in 2020. Also 55% of registered voters cast ballots in all of New York City in 2020 [2] (idk what the actual number is for Manhattan specifically).

    So about 7.97% of everyone eligible to vote in Manhattan voted for Trump in 2020. This is about 1/12. There’s likely more probability math to perform, but maybe one Republican voter was in the Jury, but it’s also likely that none of the jury had ever voted for Trump (despite what they said in jury selection). 3 republicans in the Jury seems high although I’m also too high to do the math.
