Stupid idea. Violence and threats are not the spirit of the original Silk Road community.

Thats awful gives dnm users/supporters a bad name. in what world would that help ross's case


[26 Points] DuCruu:

Definitely won't help the case. If anything it just shows that bad things can happen when you fuck with powerful people that just want their drugs.


[17 Points] None:

I don't see how this will help, if anything it will hinder it.

Took a while, I posted about this two weeks ago, was kinda surprised that nobody cared :)

So dumb. When doxxing ever helped a situation?

Duuuude HOW THE FUCK did someone get the dox AND ssn of a JUDGE? Whoever did this is a fucking genius criminal


[2 Points] Theeconomist1:

Besides FISA court, are judges ever concealed in high profile cases? I've never heard of the name of the judge not being revealed during a trial except in FISA court proceedings, which are secret that a hearing is even taking place. Given that, not sure how this changes things and actually surprised this doesn't happen more often. Judges hear cases of cartel heads and their names are published. I guess point being, what's the big deal of a judge being doxxed? I'm surprised it doesn't happen much more often. Unless they start doing trials like they do in Mexico with hooded judges and their identity protected, not much can be done about this I'd imagine.

This only makes things worse for everybody.

The site in question is ours, The Uncensored Hidden Wiki. It was added by one of our editors a while back and is just now getting recognition.

Prosecutor is the one that is trying to put him in prison...


[1 Points] throwaway1882072:

My 2 cents is as follows: there is a reason executioners wear black masks, and judges do not.

I haven't followed closely, but it seems like every law and rule is being bent to hurt Ross, rather than the Judge keeping things square.

Everyone gets that doxxing an elected official just isn't that hard. The question at hand is that now that it's done, would anon harassing her a bit; remind her to keep things fair? recuse herself? or cause her to bend the law for the prosecution even more?

Personally, I think things would be made worse for ROSS unless the harassment is so rough she recuses herself. Probably no worth it.
