"harbingers of things to come"

Attorneys made a formal complaint with the Democratic National Committee saying Sanders supporters engaged in a "penchant" for violence that could lead to disruptions at the Democratic national convention in Philadelphia in July. "We believe, unfortunately, that the tactics and behavior on display here in Nevada are harbingers of things to come as Democrats gather in Philadelphia," wrote Bradley Schrager, general counsel for the Nevada State Democratic Party.

The official protest letter charges that the Sanders Campaign actually "sanctioned or encouraged" the violence at the Nevada meeting.

Maybe that explains why Bernie dodged reporters and ducked questions about the actions of his followers.

alarm and standing up to these ***holes. I fear, though, that Sanders and Weaver will push back and continue to fund raise using lies and smears against the Democratic Party. Looking back, this kind of thing from the Sanders campaign has been going on for quite awhile. I fear it is going to get worse and Sanders does not care. I hope the media will now vet him (as they should have done the first time his supporters showed their proclivity for threats and violence.)
