Wtf is a secret grand jury? Is it anything like a nazi tribunal?
A grand jury is by definition secret
Actually not by definition maybe but by custom
The US has a long history of secret court systems
Got any reading material?

The thing that pisses me off the most about these courts is that they completely violate the idea of a fair trial where you are innocent until proven guilty. The Judges in these courts seem to be openly biased toward government entities and the trials they oversee are mostly for show. They deliberately set up the defendant to loose by doing crazy things like denying a defendant access to legal council.

Because of the sensitive nature of its business, the court is a “secret court” meaning its hearings are closed to the public. While records of the proceedings are kept, they also are unavailable to the public, although copies of some records with classified information redacted have been made public.

Anyone know the reddit username in question, or the offending posts? I feel the best way to fight this is to broadcast whatever the admin has found so offensive everywhere. There’s plenty of ice/trump hate on Reddit - why was this so triggering? An accusation too close to home, maybe?
Maybe to make an example of them. Drag away one person randomly and everyone else thinks twice before saying anything.
How soon before alt social media is targeted like this?
