Judges say unsolicited pizza deliveries are meant to intimidate them

[Zorro]

Judges in several states say they have faced threats and intimidation tactics associated with pizza deliveries.

Federal judges say unsolicited pizza deliveries to jurists’ homes that began in February may number in the hundreds across at least seven states, prompting increased security concerns and a demand from a Senate leader for a Justice Department investigation.

Many of the deliveries have gone to judges presiding over lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s policies. The U.S. Marshals Service has been tracking the deliveries, and judges have been sharing details about their experiences in hopes of finding out more about what they call an ongoing attempt at intimidating the judiciary.

Some of the pizza deliveries have gone to judges’ relatives. In recent weeks, orders have been placed in the name of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas’s son, Daniel Anderl, who was fatally shot at the family home in New Jersey in 2020 by an attorney who posed as a delivery person.

In an interview with The Washington Post, U.S. Circuit Judge J. Michelle Childs, who serves in Washington, said she has received seven anonymous pizza deliveries at her home in the past few months — one shortly after she took part in a ruling against the Trump administration in a lawsuit over the firing of an independent government watchdog.

This administration's supporters sound like a bunch of juvenile delinquents.

1. Juvenile delinquents

is too mild a description.
I'd say "terrorists" and "extortionists" would better describe the trend.
If they can determine the source of these 'gifts', the purchasers need to be prosecuted.

This is a purely mob like action.

12. I'd bet there are exactly zero juveniles involved.

[Irish_Dem]

2. This is a large, well funded, planned, co-ordinated terrorist threat.

Who is doing the funding, planning, execution of the plan?

[RandomNumbers]

7. I bet the federal DOJ and Homeland Security

will get right on that.

[dickthegrouch]

8. I'd have stopped at your subject line!

My original comment was going to be that Blondi's DOJ couldn't possibly find the perps, cause they'd be looking outside the doors.

3. Ginny is that you funding this terrorist threats?

And how fucking low to use a judge’s murdered son Daniel. There isn’t a bridge low enough for these terrorists magaloongoon trolls.

[Ping Tung]

4. Ugh! Anchovies.

[Historic NY]

5. Well someone is paying for them

by CC or cash or other electronic means . A payment is being exchanged for a product.

You mean the wizz bang kinds in the US Marshals or FBI can't figure this out. Perhaps they couldn't find the Jan ^ bomber...MTG

[Boomerproud]

10. Exactly. I don't believe they're investigating.

ICE can round up anyone at a moments notice.

[malaise]

6. Mob terror

From the Slobfather’s private army

9. I wish the evil acts could be traced back to the originators with a Thank You note that explodes in their faces!

These people are making me think thoughts I am ashamed of. I pray that I don't really become like them.

[Iggo]

11. To their homes? Yeah, I'd say that's intimidation.

Send it to the courthouse.

13. Like someone mentioned in another thread

DO NOT answer the door. Fuck their pizza!!

15. Yes it does!!
