Well, juries are never told who is doing the alerting. That is a real problem with this kind of assumption. We do NOT know who the alerters are, we only assume. I think this is part of the problem. Causing dissention here is to the advantage of anti-democracy forces and it is just icing on the jelly doughnut that they are never identified.

One more, don't kick anti-Bernie threads. Ignore them and post your own positive Bernie thread.
