What is the "end game" of doxxing? Is it the hope that others who share her viewpoints stage a massive letter-writing campaign to the address of the person with whom she disagrees?

Or, is it something more sinister--the hope that the person she disagrees with is confronted and assaulted, perhaps even murdered? Would the doxxer then be considered an accomplice?

I bet her dozens of cats use her hate-filled mug as a litter box while she sleeps. What an obnoxious loser. May she forever be plagued by the realization that she and her life are useless.

"What is the "end game" of doxxing?"

It really isn't that new. It used to be you could look people up in the phone book. Some people had unlisted numbers.

You could always go down to the courthouse and pull public property records.

The difference is today you can do this in seconds on the Internet, and post it for all to see.

But in the past, few people had the interest to protest. Now many want to "make a difference".

The end game is this:

People have a right to protest in the public square.

People have a right to be safe and at peace in their homes.

A public protest against an individual in the public street in front of the individual's private home is a bridge too far. The First Amendment gives people the right to petition their GOVERNMENT for redress of grievances, not petition other INDIVIDUALS for redress of grievances. Ordinarily, issues between individuals are properly adjudicated in civil courts.

It is up to municipal governments and law enforcement to limit what can happen. They could make it harder to get access to the online information. They could crack down on un-permitted protests and trespassing.

If they do not, someone is going to take it upon themselves to defend themselves.

When the government refuses to protect its citizens, the citizens reserve the right to protect themselves.

Destroy the life of the individual. Get them fired, banned, or killed.

Many employers will just bail if they start getting mail about someone. And that puts a permanent black mark on the persons name. No one wants to put their name or company at risk.

Another trick is to have someone make something up and have the SWAT team show up. In case you don’t know, many SWAT teams kill first and then try to figure out what is the real situation later. Rand Paul’s house is an example, but lucky for his family someone ran the address before assaulting the place.
