Michael van der Veen hired 24-hour private security for his family after vandals smashed windows and spray-painted “TRAITOR” on the driveway of his suburban Philadelphia home Friday night. He told reporters Saturday he received more than 100 death threats.

And they acknowledged being caught off guard by the level of rancor from Trump’s critics and supporters alike — even given the country’s fiercely divided politics and how other lawyers in his orbit have fared.

“I’ve been representing controversial clients for 30 years, and I’ve never experienced this type of vitriol,” said William J. Brennan, another local member of the team whose past clients include priests accused of sexual abuse and judges facing corruption charges

After loosing the legal battle the insurrectionists have incited their brown shirts to destroy and intimidate any opposition to the Democrats.

People are nuts.

Everyone wants to piñata and behead a king until it is for them to play king and be responsible.

So now they take it on the lawyer like a bunch of cowards.

The Democrat Party has gone full neo-Bolshevik.

And it is serious about destroying dissent.

In Oceania, one has the right to a jury trial and legal representation. However, that representation is only for the elites or those in good standing with the party. Otherwise, you have a right to a trial, but not representation.

Your previous opponents didn't hire rent-a-thugs.

Ah, those mostly peaceful Leftists....

Too bad that Trump did not secure the election against vote fraud before it came to all of this.

I have a response.

But, those that talk, do not act.

Those that act, do not talk.

I do not talk.

Make sure that when you catch them send them to jail... that will stop when these little trust fund anarchists are somebodies prison girlfriend

[Lazamataz]

I have a girlfriend who tells me she is not interested in politics.

I respond, “Maybe you are not interested in politics, but make no mistake: Politics is interested in YOU.”

Leftist backlash - a Badge of Honor.

[McGavin999]

You are exactly right. This is because social media let people gather under anonymous identities and the rudeness turned into meanness

Remember, it could never happen here. SURPRISE!
