Death threats have swarmed social media sites aimed at justices who by majority of 4-3 scratched former President Donald Trump off the Colorado Republican primary ballot, according to NBC News.
The outlet was informed of the lethal chatter compiled by a non-partisan nonprofit called Advance Democracy that discovered what it termed as "significant violent rhetoric" toward the justices that also exhibited ways to kill including hollow point bullets, rifles, rope, bombs and in some cases the justices were doxxed.
"Kill judges. Behead judges. Roundhouse kick a judge into the concrete," read a post on what NBC News called a fringe site. "Slam dunk a judge's baby into the trashcan."
Another user of a supposed pro-Trump forum frequented by Jan. 6 attendees wrote: "This ends when we kill these f--kers."
One tried to make a twisted joke posting: "What do you call 7 justices from the Colorado Supreme Court at the bottom of the ocean?"
And another chimed in with a sinister answer: "A good start."
