A left wing activist group is offering monetary rewards to anyone who provides them information to locate the whereabouts of conservative Supreme Court Justices.
The group ShutDownDC tweeted that they’re offering $50 and $200 bounties for information relating to sightings of justices John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett.
DC Service Industry Workers… If you see Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett or Roberts DM us with the details!
We'll venmo you $50 for a confirmed sighting and $200 if they're still there 30 mins after your message. https://t.co/xXWZ5JZiE7

While you’d think the tweet would violate Twitter’s policy of encouraging harassment against an individual or group of people, the tweet remains active at the time of writing.
Here’s a screenshot in case the tweet is removed:
Infowars reported:
Twitter’s policy reads, “We prohibit behavior that encourages others to harass or target specific individuals or groups with abusive behavior,” also noting “This includes, but is not limited to; calls to target people with abuse or harassment online and behavior that urges offline action such as physical harassment.”
ShutDownDC affiliated individuals were also part of a ‘protest’ at a Morton’s steakhouse in downtown Washington last week, where Brett Kavanaugh was dining and subsequently forced to exit through a back door.
The restaurant issued a statement condemning the actions, noting “Honorable Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and all of our other patrons at the restaurant were unduly harassed by unruly protestors while eating dinner at our Morton’s restaurant.”
It added, “Politics, regardless of your side or views, should not trample the freedom at play of the right to congregate and eat dinner. There is a time and place for everything. Disturbing the dinner of all of our customers was an act of selfishness and void of decency.”
When asked about the incident, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded “We have said that we want to see peaceful protests,” adding “When it comes to intimidation, that is something that we have condemned.”
In an exchange with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned whether the Biden Administration permits people protesting justices outside of restaurants they’re out to eat.
“So, it’s okay if protesters know that a justice is out to eat at a restaurant that they can go and protest, as long as they are what you consider peaceful,” Doocy further questioned, asking “where’s the line?”
The Press Secretary reposed “If it’s outside of a restaurant, if it’s peaceful, for sure.”

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also suggested the targeting of Kavanaugh at the restaurant by protestors was acceptable.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden urged pro-abortion activists to “keep protesting.”

Democrats refuse to condemn protests outside the homes of Justices, despite neighbors speaking out about being insulted and intimidated.
"A marshal for the Supreme Court has also asked state and local officials to take control and put a stop to illegal disruptions outside the homes of Justices, noting that “threatening activity, has only increased," Infowars added.
