Nassau County police on Thursday have responded to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.
The threat comes hours before closing arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin, with those arguments still expected to proceed.
A bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.
Been hearing about threats to the judge for some time now. Can’t wait till we start seeing these people charged and prosecuted.
Cowards do their research and remain mostly anonymous. There has been a rash of online bomb threats lately and very few people have been held accountable.
Perhaps they should hold the original source accountable for stochastic terrorism. If twice is coincidence and three times is a pattern, what is it called when it happens literally every single time?
A great example of how his followers just want to blow up and maim anything and everything that gets in their way…
I wonder what’s going to happen when the swath of impeachments going on fails.
They have no intention of following through on any of them, it’s all theater for the base to distract from Trump’s legal troubles. What the GOP do when their anti-Christ is sentenced should be interesting, do they just drop and distance from him, or do they choose a “disciple” to carry on his evil deeds and speak for him?
Trump had asked to deliver part of the closing arguments himself, but Engoron rejected the request Wednesday in a contentious email exchange with Trump’s lawyers after the former president refused to commit to only speaking about the facts of the case and not engage in any attacks.
The judge didn’t really reject their request, they simply ghosted him when he told them the terms under which he would accept their request, and after 2 or 3 deadline extensions their opportunity lapsed.
In all fairness, they did whine first before ghosting.
Nothing screams innocent more than making bomb threats.
of course he faces threats of violence… any time a Trump supporter doesn’t get what they want, they threaten violence and anything else they can think of…
The phrase you’re looking for is “stochastic terrorism”
(that’s not snarkiness from me, that’s the title of the article)
i just call it being a little bitch about everything… you can call it whatever you like… i don’t romanticize their stupidity in order to sound intellectual…
This doesn’t happen after a coup, does it?
I’ve never lived in a place where the people in power took over in a coup. But, when I read about them, I never hear of the people who live there sending bomb threats to judges who are siding with the perpetrators of the coup. When a group takes power in a coup, they’re normally ruthless, they kill people who threaten them, and they make it clear that dissent won’t be tolerated.
So, these MAGA / Q-Anon types believe that Biden took power in a coup by stealing the election. But, they also believe that it was such a soft coup that they didn’t bother to jail or kill Trump. It was such a gentle coup that the only “political prisoners” are the people who stormed the capitol, and then only after long investigations and public trials. It’s such a kind coup that they are happy to allow demonstrations, TV networks that oppose them, discussions on the Internet that they can’t control. These people also think that they can get away with sending bomb threats because the regime that took power in the coup is even softer on crime than the typical government, which would arrest people who sent bomb threats.
How do you send a bomb threat to a judge without thinking are we the baddies? At some point you have to stop and think: our side is doing X, their side is doing Y.
“our side” “their side” Sacking the capitol Stealing an election Sending bomb threats to judges Killing babies Abusing presidential power on day one as retribution against enemies, but only for one day Charging Trump in several open criminal and civil trials Paraphrasing Hitler Charging and trying people who rioted on Jan 6th in normal, open criminal trials … … Like, how do you make a list like that and never once consider whether your side might be the baddies?
Oh, they know what they’re doing, 100%. Just like people readily forward misinformation that’s convenient to their cause fully knowing that it’s false, these folks will continue to parrot right-wing talking points for the same reasons. I think one relatively famous but small YouTuber came out and said so in their podcast openly and caused a stir on the Left. Even Musk has shared some mask-off images about forwarding false narratives. They know.
He’s just trying to delay the decision because he knows he’s guilty.
r/conservative not caring, yet gaslighting with BLM name calling these days. They have no shame.
I’d wager over half that sub is posting from Moscow.
