      So there actually is a federal (felony) law against that, but not against sharing their names: 18 U.S. Code § 119. This is the most a website could legally get away with, at least for US Citizens. It may not apply to Ice List’s designer (Edit: Who is Irish and living in the Netherlands, which I believe is part of 14 Eyes), but I am not a lawyer.

          And you foresee absolutely nothing bad happening if all the public officers’ addresses were made public?

            if all the public officers’ addresses were made public?

            if they don’t want to receive what’s coming to them, they can always quit

              Are you, like, ten years old?

              Imagine it’s 2021, Trump is president. All federal employees addresses become public. Trump does his “we’ll retake democracy” stunt and people storm the Capitol.

              What do you think happens in all the cities where armed MAGA now have access to Democrat politician’s and federal workers home addresses?

            Crazy people could start killing legislators like last month

            Edit: What I mean is: Crazy people might start killing legislators, like it has already happened months ago.

              Yeah, which sounds great, right?

              Unless you’re not on the receiving end.

              You had fun on January 6? Now imagine that, but with armed militias hunting and killing center- and left-wing judges, congressmen, senators, etc., etc.

                I just reread my comment, I think I wrote in a way that could be misunderstood and I was unclear. I wanted to say, the thing that is already happening might happen more, not “please kill politicians”.

                I was just saying that crazy people already started killing left-wing legislators. I don’t think Trump getting shot would be good for the US or the world either.

                I’m against releasing addresses, I’m just mentioning that that kind of political violence is not a hypothetical, it’s already happening…

        MLK started abandoning this system and then he was killed.

        Black Panthers disregarded this system which led to COINTELPRO tactics being used to instigate infighting and divisions. Also gun laws became harsher since the non-whites starting arming up.

        The fact that these gestapo fucks all wear masks and are hell bent on not being identified gives cause to believe they require identification.

            Im not sure about the MLK comment in particular, may have misremembered on that one. But he did get assassinated 1 month before he was set to kick off the Poor Peoples Party.

            Im not sure what you missed re:Black Panthers

            The other thing I didn’t mention previously was the amount of violent actions taken against citizens. Rainbow Coalition attacks, bombing a neighborhood, Kent State, and that’s just the Civil Rights era.

            Doxxing isn’t inciting violence, its identification. Ive been doxxed before and i never felt threats of violence were coming my way.

            Beyond that, I’ve never incited violence in any way like you’re describing. Maybe the fascists should be less violent if they’re worried about violent reprisals though?
