70. Bernie's message is about peace.

Hard to equate that with any of this. Bernie supporters are world's apart from Trump supporters. Bernie supporters are more tuned into peace than Hill supporters, come to think of it. I did read at your link and it sounds like an idiot posting on FB who got some very ignorant people to jump on the wagon. I still think they should follow up and charge or warn those who made the threats. There is just no excuse!
