malaise
(267,817 posts)Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the US District Court for the District of Columbia issued a gag order on Friday prohibiting Roger Stone, attorneys on both sides, and all witnesses and interested parties from making statements to the media or the public regarding Stones criminal case.
All listed persons are further prohibited from making any statements to the media when they are entering or exiting the courthouse, or [while] they are within the immediate vicinity of the courthouse.

(4,341 posts)It is more broad, if you read the part in bold, it does not address the "vicinity of the court", the one that does starts with "Further more", which I believe it addresses the vicinity of the court due to where the media gathers to wait for the indicted to ask questions, but I believe the gag order covers everything.
This guy is nuts, and to put a crosshair by the judge should get him in jail, this guy is telling his followers, if he has any which I am sure he has a few nut jobs, to shoot at her, that she is a target...
I hope he is put behind bars and he finds a nice fellow in there to keep him company.

(28,321 posts)I wanted to read the posts that followed this Tweet, but Twitter suspended his account.
It looks like he has other Twitter accounts, but I don't know which are his, or even if any of them are real.
I hope the judge doesn't recuse herself. It is unfair that anyone can just bully their way through the court system to shop for someone that they would prefer.
I hate these fucking corrupt, nasty, manipulative assholes. And, I can't stand those in society who fall for what these perverts tell them. Shame on them all!

(901 posts)That's how I feel. Hopeless. Can you help? Or will you continue to not help?
lunatica
(53,410 posts)I help by clarifying things. By believing that the truth is an important thing to know, even when it hurts to know it. But always with the intent that if you know the truth you have real choices. That you always have choices about how you react or act in life. By having the attitude that they cant beat us when we are on the right side.
And by validating that hope of better things to come is our most invaluable weapon against despair. By recognizing that despair is what they want us to feel and that our enemy wants to see us crushed by it.
Just refuse to let them define you or your life.
DontBooVote
(901 posts)Putin comes to my mind, right off.
We're seeing the playbook being followed. And it has succeeded elsewhere. Why am I wrong to be concerned that what we're seeing here won't have the same result?
Also, if we discount the possibility that that's where this ends up and we've done no mental or practical preparation, then what does that make us?
lunatica
(53,410 posts)You must choose for yourself.
DontBooVote
(901 posts)I mean, we just need to bury our heads in the sand and not consider the worst possibility and how we'll cope with it?
Doom and gloom, huh? No need to convey any warning or thoughts in that direction?
If that is unacceptable here, do you and the others that have called me out call other doom and gloom threads out?
I can be all cheers, when I feel cheerful. But I have seen nothing to be hopeful about. We have no idea where this is heading. But just don't give the idea that it could go bad for us?

(21,031 posts)Applying Occam's razor, it looked to me like he pulled an image off a RWN site, cropped it, and then used it without noticing the cross hairs. The same sort of thing happened on a protest sign in with Osama bin Laden with Sesame Street's Bert.
I honestly don't think he was trying for violence. I think he is a loud idiot.

(33,915 posts)There are multiple repetitions of the "crosshairs" as part of a repeated logo in the electronic wallpaper the site uses behind a half dozen of the favorite targets of the right wingers.
But that's not a popular opinion here, because everything every right wing nut job does has to be intentional, violent, racist, misogynistic, and over the top.
Some things are just stupid.

https://www.sott.net/article/371410-Freedom-Watch-sues-to-remove-judge-presiding-over-case-to-remove-Mueller-probe-leaks
and here's the image itself:
The original is much clearer, and it shows her sitting in a chair in front of a fairly plain wall. The background, including the symbol that looks like crosshairs, was added later.
The image Stone posted has been traced further. The symbol that looks like crosshairs is apparently the log of an organization called "Corruption Central". (It's still quite possible that Corruption Central intended it to look like crosshairs.)

(13,520 posts)- its an extra cherry on top of knowing just how utterly and completely this ratfkr screwed up today.
You know, I held off for about an hour after seeing his post - I checked his Instagram and didnt see the picture, and I thought aw, man, this is a bogus post, were being played...but I held off mostly because I 100% could not believe he would actually be this criminally ignorant.
So when it was posted that he said he didnt mean nothin by it, well, yeah, at that point I believed it.
