17. Excellent analysis until the sign off.

The rest of the letter is well crafted. It reads like a something a racist, sexist DU member and Sanders supporter might write.

But the sign off reeks of a set up.

GO BERNIE!!!

Mr. Citizen
DU Member

That's more likely the sign off of somebody trying to finger somebody else. That's not somebody trying to intimidate. That's somebody trying just a little too desperately and transparently to implicate. Would someone sincerely trying to intimidate have tried so hard to implicate? To what end? What purpose did the closing serve other than to implicate Sanders' DU supporters directly in a heinous crime?

Just in case you hadn't figured this out yet, I desperately need to make it crystal clear that I am definitely an asshole white male Sanders' zealot.

Take what I say with a grain of salt. It's just my admittedly biased opinion. But that is my personal take right now. Regardless, I stand 100% with bravenak and against this hate crime.
