      One of those groups are corrupt government officials and the other is citizens compelled by law to do their duty.

      One of those groups is protesters peacefully opposing a public official. The other is seeking to harass and intimidate, possibly assault or injure, jurors. That’s not turnabout.

      Be interested to see if you had such a cavalier attitude if you were one of the jurors now required to sequester for their safety or have armed police officers outside of your home so your spouse and children are safe while you’re off fulfilling your mandated civil service at jury duty.

      Worse yet maybe you’re one of the law enforcement professionals who has their life forever altered because they have to use deadly force while on their security detail at one of those homes, protecting innocent lives, because some radicals thought it was “fair play” to leak addresses and names of innocent members of a jury.

      But these are just my two cents, and with inflation we know two cents isn’t worth what it used to be.

        Imagine how much it would suck to know that because you lost the jury lotto that there is a ground of about 10,000-30,000 honest to God full blown dyed in the wool wackadoos who know your families address and are posting on social media about how if you do your job and follow the law and it turns out that the Cheeto is a bandito and you say as much that they will seriously attempt to kill you or harm your family, and there’s nothing anyone is going to do about it until after they act.

        FML.

      Death threats for citizens doing their jury duty and indicting based on evidence vs citizens practicing their rights and peacefully protesting. Is that truly what you consider fair game?

        Awesome. I’ll buy the beer.

        Protesting peacefully is an important civic virtue, regardless of your beliefs, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

          You protest government figures. You don’t protest people doing their civic duty,

          Edit: I thought you were that Momo guy. You’re not. Point stands but any aggression is not aimed at you
