Bernie Sanders supporters launch death threats at local bar

[sufrommich]

Sanders supporters have called in so many threats that the restaurant unplugged their phones. The restaurant has also been attacked on their Facebook and have had death threats sent to employees.

They had Google to temporarily list the business as "permanently closed".

But there's one big problem. Roberta Lange doesn't own a restaurant.

The Porchlight is owned by Kevin Gallagher, Lange is the Operations Manager.

The Porchlight is open and tells us they have no plans on firing Lange.

2. That is sick.

8. You're new to DU.

You may or may not understand that this is a protected group for Hillary SUPPORTERS. Also, DU does not sanction conspiracy theories. It has already been shown that these calls were made by Sanders supporters. If you have any evidence that some of them are Trump supporters, I suggest you call the Las Vegas police or the FBI, both of which are on the case.

10. Yes, I am new.

But, I know nothing about protected groups. I did get a message that I have been blocked from posting on Bernie Sanders threads, but there was no deeper explanation about why. I think that all of my posts have been very moderate and I found the note a little strange, especially given the fact that it appeared about the same time that Bernie was complaining that no one would debate him in California.

Anyway, I guess what you're saying is that there are certain threads on which I should be very careful about what I say. I respect that and assume that there exists a good reason for the rule. For that reason, I won't say anything further to support the post that prompted yours. I really do want to try to observe everybody's expectations.

For what it's worth, I have always been a supporter of Hillary's candidacy. I am hoping that soon everyone at this site will be enthusiastically "with her."

Thanks for the heads up, SunSeeker. I will make an effort to educate myself so as not to be a problem to anyone.

15. Just check the header to see if it's in a "group" - we've all made that mistake a few times.

And welcome.

[Tal Vez]

16. Thank you. I will be looking. ;-)

[fleabiscuit]

17. I had to go peek.

Ya, your posts there were WAY to sane to live over there.

[Tal Vez]

18. Thanks. Well, I'm learning the rules. ;-)

22. Hi Tal

There are several threads just in this group which feature reporters who talked to these supporters. One was by rolling stones magazine, I suggest you look up these articles or threads.

[Tal Vez]

23. I'm sure you're right.

Maybe I'm just a bit too eager to start the fall campaign by turning my guns on Trump.

[sheshe2]

9. Host here. You are in the Hillary group.

Delete your post or you will be blocked.

[Tal Vez]

12. I will be happy to try. I guess I just need to find the right button.

[sheshe2]

13. Thank you so much Tal Vez.

I appreciate the delete. You are welcome here anytime if you abide by our TOS. I hate blocking people. I really do.

4. Hopefully by now the line is flagged

be nice to see them prosecute a bunch of them

[workinclasszero]

5. Sick ain't it?

The people doing this stuff are terrorists. They should be locked up.

[ismnotwasm]

6. Scum.

And stupid scum at that.

[okasha]

7. If Bernie can't manage his own supporters,

he sure as hell can't manage the country.

[Hekate]

11. He both cannot and will not take them to task. He could have quashed this months ago...

... by making it plain that anyone behaving in this fashion online or off was no friend of him and his campaign. That he will not do -- he does not acknowledge Bernie Bros and their damage and he simply excuses the rest as coming from "passion."

I have lost all respect for him. He's just an angry old man who shouts at everybody who doesn't agree with him and his one-size-fits-all message.

[Surya Gayatri]

25. Short and sweet! ^^^

I have lost all respect for him. He's just an angry old man who shouts at everybody who doesn't agree with him and his one-size-fits-all message.

My sentiments exactly. I have no more time for this latter-day hippie rabble-rouser.

[BlueMTexpat]

28. + a million or so! eom

[sheshe2]

14. So very sad, suf.

What are they thinking!

Death threats will get your candidate elected? I don't think so. Bullies! Violence! Mayhem!

[LannyDeVaney]

19. A few months back, comparisons to GamerGate were alerted and blocked ...

[DemonGoddess]

20. DISGUSTING behavior

[Thinkingabout]

21. I can support Hillary with out the threats to others, I don't feel it enhances a candidate for

supporters to annoy others.

[Cha]

24. Keep it up, bros.. just hurting BS.

[NBachers]

26. "If your vote is based on the behavior of his supporters, then you shouldn't be voting."

I read this many times, right here on DU.

My initial enthusiastic support for Bernie has waned dimmer and dimmer, and I'm basing my choice on the behavior of his supporters.

Does this mean I should lose my right to vote?

[BootinUp]

27. If you mean

the way they have to distort reality to brainwash people then I'm with you. Many of the lefties supporting Sanders will go to any extreme to win an election when it comes to truthiness. In that regard they are no better than the right wingers. If Clinton saw Sanders as a more serious threat in advance, they would have been better prepared to deal with him.

[liberal N proud]

29. These Berners need to go to jail for stalking and making threats

Just remember, the Berners are the victims here.
