WA Residents Who Complained About Lockdown Violations Receive Threats

Washington state residents who complained about businesses violating lockdown measures received personal threats after stay-at-home protesters shared their personal information on Facebook.

The Washington Three Percenters and Reopen Washington State—two groups who have been protesting Democratic Governor Jay Inslee's stay-at-home order—posted the names, email addresses and phone numbers of Washingtonains who have submitted formal complaints to the state against business that have allegedly remained open or violated coronavirus mitigation measures under the stay-at-home order.

After their personal information was shared on two Facebook pages over the past week, some of the individuals named said they received harassment and threats of violence, according to local reports.

The Washington Three Percenters, a far-right group self-described on Facebook as "Gawd Fearing Patriots," shared the following message to their social media account: "Want to snitch on your neighbor? Don't expect to hide behind you (sic) computer screen." The group then also released a spreadsheet with the names and contact details of residents who have lodged a complaint to state officials to date.
