ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Total indifference to someone getting violent threats.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon May 16, 2016, 11:49 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: "You stupid cunt"
"You stupid bitch"
"Better look for a new job asshat"
Oh, im not talking about the offender poster, these were comments left to this woman. To be fucking quite honest, Im sick and god damned tired of people be openly hostile to women because they think they can get away with it due to anonymity of the the internet, cellphones, whatever. If it was up to me, the posters IP should be burned from this site forever, and then made to walk of shame down their neighborhood
Signed - Separation
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Worse than that, they are suggesting that the victim of the attacks is "disgusting."
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with the alerter.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Maybe the Democratic chairperson _is_ disgusting. It's the poster's opinion and I don't see how one DUers opinion of a state party chairperson will keep Democrats from being elected. Alerters should rebut the post in the thread.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(131,370 posts)Fortunately rationality prevailed. I am NOT referring to the offensive language in the 'outside world,' but to her highly offensive ACTIONS.

Says an anonymous poster on the internet. And you probably sit around and wonder why no one takes you seriously.

(11,785 posts)for, shall we say, "reality creation"? Once you have a rep for pushing false narratives, there's a risk that anything negative that might otherwise have been attributed to your opponent or his followers is dismissed as just another round of bullshittery on your part.

So, late yesterday afternoon, I phoned nine people whod texted Lange insults or threats. I reached three of them.

(5,811 posts)There's also a NY Times article that being retweeted everywhere. Some Bernie supporters are planning mayhem for the Philadelphia convention. But since HRC is a secret service protectee for the past 20 odd years and there will be a former president there, I imagine security will be extremely tight.
The NV Dem Party also filed a letter of complaint regarding the behavior Bernie supporters at their state convention. I think this is appropriate. given what I saw on video.
There's more and much worse. it's hard to imagine Democrats acting like this.

(5,811 posts)Lange outlined what happened. Republicans cannot be seated as delegates at the state convention.
Bernie supporters wanted a rule change to accommodate their violation of the rules so their illegal delegates could be seated. When this didn't happen, they resorted to verbal and physical violence which required LE intervention.
I'm patient and calm because I know in the end HRC will be the nominee.

(44,173 posts)That's essentially what some of the excuse-makers above seem to be saying.
Now imagine if such things were said to woman who was raped?

(2,054 posts)The attack was made by one of her prominent male supporters.
Did you post anything against that attack and do you think Hillary should condemn such actual physical attacks.
Naw.
