In reply to the discussion: Anyone want to give a hug to Bravenak? Who, by the way, still doesn't know who sent the hate mail. [View all]pnwmom
(110,254 posts)186. Probably 80% or more of DUers support Sanders.
So the odds are high that the letter came from a Bernie supporter, just as the letter said -- especially since the sender would have no way to predict that Bravenak would publicly post it. Why would he have bothered to disguise his real identity, when his aim was to make Bravenak shut up?
But I agree with you that I don't think Mr. Whomever conspired with several people to fix the jury process. He just wants to scare Bravenak.

OP
Ah, the other likelier syntactical possibility -- a hug *and* she still doesn't know who sent it...

Always liked Bravenak. I wonder if she could hire a Private Detective to find out

Not the only place that "comments minimizing the impact of unsolicited hate mail" were found.

Nobody deserves to be treated like she was, and I hope we somehow catch the perp.

A big cyber hug and 'hi' to you, Bravenak. Stay as fearless and forthright as you are!

I think so too. I think the letter writer would be a person who loves the attention, even negative.

HUGS! This is shocking. I am sorry that someone doesn't have any conscience. Take care

The letter scumbag could be the same scumbag just arrested for terrorism in Florida.

Lots and lots of us are hoping you'll be back soon, Bravenak. A big, long hug to you.

Clue for folks who do not understand why some people can't "see beyond" race/gender etc.

I think a percentage of people always vote to hide people who support the opponent

She did support Sanders, but she was also expressing frustration with his not connecting
