A new court filing has revealed “hundreds of threatening, harassing, disparaging and antisemitic” threats made to Judge Arthur Engoron, who is currently presiding over the civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump in New York and trying to get the gag order he imposed against Trump reinstated.
Trump already violated Engoron’s gag order twice, costing him $15,000. An appeals court paused the order last week, citing Trump’s “constitutional and statutory rights.” But the threats have caused serious security concerns for Engoron and his staff, especially his principal law clerk Allison Greenfield.
One voicemail, according to an affidavit filed by court officer Captain Charles Hollon, stated: “Trust me. Trust me when I say this. I will come for you. I don’t care. Ain’t nobody gonna stop me either.” Another said: “Resign now, you dirty, treasonous piece of trash snake. We are going to get you and anyone of you dirty, backstabbing, lying, cheating American. You are nothing but a bunch of communists. We are coming to remove you permanently.”
It’s a good thing it’s only white people threatening him.
Did I miss some context or is that just casually suggesting that other races are more violent?
The implication is that violence by white people is tolerated more than violence by non-white people.
Missed context.
White people are typically given an extreme benefit of doubt that is not afforded to other racial demographics in the US.
Also, the people making the violent threats are exactly the type to say that other races are more violent 13/50 and all that.
I know others have explained already, but here it is in photographic form.
Remember when like 20 cops were all that were available to keep the Jan 06 insurrectionists out of the Capital Building?
Here’s what DC looked like during the BLM protests:
Honestly, it was that everyone else read it sarcastically and I didn’t. I’m autistic though, so that’s not new. Also your picture didn’t load, but I’ve been to enough protests to know how the police handle things
Fair enough - wall of cops for BLM, essentially no one for Jan 06 was the ultimate point. 🙂
Possibly also that the average white person has a tendency to issue idle threats that they aren’t motivated enough to deliver on. Armchair terrorism. Get me a beer.
