   In the 24 hours since the Colorado Supreme Court kicked former   
   President Donald Trump off the state's Republican primary ballot,   
   social media outlets have been flooded with threats against the   
   justices who ruled in the case, according to a report obtained by   
   NBC News.   
      
   Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that   
   conducts public interest research, identified "significant violent   
   rhetoric" against the justices and Democrats, often in direct   
   response to Trump's posts about the ruling on his platform Truth   
   Social. They found that some social media users posted justices'   
   email addresses, phone numbers and office building addresses.   
      
   "This ends when we kill these f--kers," a user wrote on a pro-Trump   
   forum that was used by several Jan. 6 rioters.   
      
   "What do you call 7 justices from the Colorado Supreme Court at the   
   bottom of the ocean?" asked another user. "A good start."   
      
      
   "Kill judges. Behead judges. Roundhouse kick a judge into the   
   concrete," read a post on a fringe website. "Slam dunk a judge's   
   baby into the trashcan."   
      
   The threats fit into a predictable and familiar pattern, seen time   
   and time again after legal developments against Trump. After the FBI   
   searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, a man who had been at   
   the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, attacked the FBI field office in   
   Cincinnati with a nail gun while holding an AR-15-style rifle. When   
   a grand jury in Georgia indicted Trump, some of his supporters   
   posted the grand jurors' addresses online. When U.S. District Judge   
   Tanya Chutkan was assigned to special counsel Jack Smith's federal   
   election interference case against Trump, she faced threats from   
   Trump supporters. A federal appeals court pointed out the pattern   
   when it upheld a narrowed gag order against Trump in his election   
   interference case this month, noting that those he publicly targets   
   are often threatened and harassed.   
      
   Daniel J. Jones, the president Advance Democracy, the group that   
   compiled the report, said the consistency of the violent threats and   
   rhetoric was especially concerning.   
      
   “We are seeing significant violent language and threats being made   
   against the Colorado justices and others perceived to be behind   
   yesterday’s Colorado Supreme Court ruling," Jones, a former FBI   
   investigator and staffer for the Senate Intelligence Committee, told   
   NBC News in a statement.   
      
   "The normalization of this type of violent rhetoric — and lack of   
   remedial action by social media entities — is cause for significant   
   concern," he said. "Trump’s statements, which have sought to   
   delegitimize and politicize the actions of the courts, is serving as   
   a key driver of the violent rhetoric. Political leaders on both   
   sides of the political aisle need to speak out against these calls   
   for violence, and social media platforms need to reassess their role   
   in hosting and promoting this rhetoric.”   
      
   A spokesman for the Colorado Supreme Court did not immediately   
   respond to a request for comment. A Trump campaign official did not   
   immediately respond to a request for comment.
