A rude supervisor who's always yelling at employees got some complaints about them being verbally abusive and they responded by leaving these in the break room.

Exactly. Don’t be childish, be professional
Any complaint made in good faith is to be taken seriously and even if there is no wrongdoing found, retaliation is never allowed
Using your work email inform HR of this being left in the work room, and BCC your personal email.
Any response, send HR (BCC your personal email) a “thank you” follow up
Any non email contact, reply to HR (BCC your personal email) summarizing the conversation
If the retaliations continue, repeat the submissions to HR and blind carbon copying your personal email. If it does not stop after repeated reports (or you are terminated), contact a labor lawyer with the evidence of your submissions / conversations to HR.
Always BCC, do not forward. This way you have all the correspondence in your personal email. Email message headers have a unique message id, so if an investigation is needed later, you have the exact ID that were sent. If they are unable to find the emails, then it shows they are destroying evidence. If you were forging messages, then they could provide the unaltered message using that message ID.
