I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

No, you didn't. However, in my opinion, when you write "doxing is a favorite pastime of MAGAphiles," your intent is obvious.
As you wrote, you do you.
MAGAphiles have demonstrated a fondness for the strategy... especially since they've believed Trump's election lies. Do you disagree with that statement?

I don't disagree that some do, but have no idea how many, and to what extent. What I take exception is your suggestion that this is practice is common among, and unique to, MAGAphiles.
Unless you have some evidence demonstrating this to be fact, I'll presume this is an unsupported opinion.
The disclosure online of Dawson’s personal information — a phenomenon known as doxing — is part of a growing effort by left-wing activists to punish members of far-right groups accused of violent behavior by exposing them to their employers, family and friends. The doxing of Dawson highlights the effect the tactic can have — unemployment and personal upheaval followed by a new job that pays much less than his old one — but also the limits of the technique: Dawson is unrepentant for his role in galvanizing a mob to harass Jedeed and continues to espouse far-right views.
Representative Joaquin Castro, doxing Trump donors on Twitter — “Sad to see so many San Antonians as 2019 maximum donors to Donald Trump. Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders’” — has given us that teachable moment.
Rolling Stone political reporter Asawin Suebsaeng explained how former President Donald Trump's social media network is only fanning the flames as Republicans rage against the FBI search warrant executed at Mar-a-Lago to find missing classified documents.
Truth Social, said Suebsaeng, is being used to out the personal information of officials involved in the case — and their families.
This actually is an interesting topic. Is it fair to be doxed when you've made a donation? Is it fair to dox someone that harassed a reporter?
I think it does highlight just how far down the rabbit hole we've gone since Trump was elected. I don't remember Bush or Gore supporters acting this way 20 years ago.

Except that I didn't suggest that it's unique to MAGAphiles... only that they and their leader Trump are fond of it and practice it regularly. The doxing of election officials is an easy and well known example of that practice among MAGAphiles. The doxing of the FBI officials after the warrant was served on Mar a Lago was noted when it happened. Breitbart was criticized for the information they published. There's even some evidence that Trump's White House administration engaged in doxing citizen critics.
Are these not examples of doxing, in your opinion?
I was addressing the implied threat. “I know where you live.” It’s happened on this site before.
When people show me who they are, I believe them. And that’s all I am going to say about the issue.
No. You've mentioned before where you live, and it's right there in your profile. And, I used your city as an example because I thought you may be familiar with the statistics I was speaking of.
No rreasonable person woukd have taken that post as a threat. And, I don't think you did either. Just another deflection.

Getting the addresses out there of the Supreme Court justices would be another example.

I've never understood that. Did they think by protesting at their homes they would say "okay, we'll change our mind"?
Peaceful protest is a very American concept. I don't know if they hoped to change their minds but the protests certainly communicated the depth of the disagreement with what the court was preparing to upset.

Of course, I've long defended America's right to peaceful protest, I've been in a few myself, but protesting at their homes crossed a line for me that I really can't support or understand. But it certainly got attention so mission accomplished I suppose.
Isn't this investigation the result of complaints (2 complaints) about her accepting tickets to the Met Gala event last year where her gown said "Tax the Rich"? I'm pretty sure this is just that investigation about those tickets...postponed.
Horrors! Is this really worth our money to pay legislators for doing this when they could be governing?

I revisited the post in question and did not read it as a threat. However, as it was not directed to me, my opinion isn't important.
Thank you for clarifying your previous post.
