>> Skinner told the outlet he was working to verify the names.

That name has paticular resonance in the world of conspiracies and government whistleblowers ... at least to the older hackers reading this.


Where is the line between whistleblower and doxxing?

It's a blurry line that has to do with defending and attacking and is very dependent on personal experience and moral ideas.

When the subject of such is using their power and position to hurt people vs when it's a private citizen minding their own business.

Don't apologize for actual, literal Nazis murdering civilians in broad daylight.

Well, thankfully, there don't seem to be any! Phew, crisis averted.

Just law enforcement officers and the typical incidents involving non-compliant citizens putting themselves in unwise positions by refising to answer basic questions and disobeying direct basic orders ("Exit your vehicle").


If the fascists aren't following laws, why should anyone else?

Look up Brosseau v. Haugen case law. There's extensive precedent for self defense for federal agents when people drive their car recklessly near them.

Note that in Brosseau v. Haugen, the court ruled explicitly that even a car driving AWAY from an agent can be considered an imminent deadly threat, and that firing multiple times can be justified.

In fact, that case was even murkier because the target was shot in the back (versus getting shot through the windscreen into the chest), and more bullets were discharged, and the car was further away!
