In 2020, a right-wing lawyer went to the home of a federal judge in NJ and shot the judge’s husband and killed her son, Daniel Anderl.
Since then, judges nationwide have been receiving pizzas they didn’t order, delivered to the judges’ homes.
And are told it was ordered by Daniel Anderl.

“Looking back at what happened in Germany, my good friend Judge Lasnik said, ‘Where were the judges? Where were the lawyers?’”
“We need a call to action in this country from our lawyers and our judges to say ‘not in our country, not on our watch,’” he said.
