Law enforcement officials were investigating threats related to former President Donald Trump's election interference probe in Georgia, after the names and addresses of grand jury members were shared online, the local sheriff's office said.

"Our investigators are working closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to track down the origin of threats in Fulton County and other jurisdictions," the Fulton County Sheriff's Office said in a statement on Thursday.

Bunch of fascist redhat assholes ran a Biden/Harris bus off the road and the cops didn't do shit.

Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'.

An indictment in Georgia that is available as a public record includes the names of grand jurors but not their addresses or any other personally identifiable information.

I have a very unique name. I only know of one other person in the US that shares my first & last names & middle initial. He’s a distant relative about 20 years older than me. I would definitely not want my name shared this way as it would be fairly easy for nitjobs to track me down thanks to Google etc.

Yeah, but in Georgia so many family trees have intersecting branches that it is hard to tell which Jim-Bob Johnson you are talking about.
