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!”

    “I’m going to kill them before they kill me” is probably not the most ethical way to solve your problems.

      You are using ethics as a valid argument about people who tried overthrowing our democracy, are threatening to kill innocent people and are actively pushing for a fascist regime taking over our country. Sure, let’s just sit around, mock them, underestimate them and meme them, that’ll surely stop them.

      While I agree with you, I would also argue that you’re not dealing with ethical people. Ethics only works if it’s reciprocal.
