Yeah, I can't stand the guy, and he's super fun to make fun of, but I don't wish him or anyone else harm. I really hope things calm down.

You have a candidate leading in the polls who MANY see as the next Hitler. Now that people have realized he has gone from a punchline to an actual threat of winning, they are responding in kind and trying to protect our country from a dangerous, authoritarian dictator. Thats whats happening.

Would you be okay with these Anonymous guys stealing and releasing personal information of Ted Cruz? A lot of people think that he is as bad as, or worse than, Mr. Trump in some respects (of course we can argue all day whether we can fairly conflate the two . . . . . but you know what I am getting at).

I guess some jerk sent an envelope with white powder to one of Trump son's house, and his wife opened it. No one deserves that, especially someone who has nothing to do with Mr. Trump's vile rhetorics.

Let's not lose perspective . . .

Oh, I dont agree with it at all. However, looking at Trump's past and how he he's insulted, degraded and threatened a countless number of people and even entire races, this comes as no surprise. Its called karma.

Add me to that category.

However, this does not have a chance of calming down, and in fact will get worse, as long as he continues to poke the hornet's nest. Words are a very powerful tool, even lethal, when the person speaking them has rabid, unhinged, blindly loyal followers just waiting for an excuse to physically lash out at someone. They can also put enough fear in other people that they feel they must do something extreme to protect themselves.

Trump is playing with fire, throwing in gunpowder for extra effect, and thinks it is all like a great big reality TV show where it is just good entertainment. It's not a TV show, people can and probably will get hurt. The unknowns at this point are who, how many, and what the final trigger was. It's coming. The only person capable of putting the brakes on it is Trump.

So you feel this is somehow justified? Shame on you! Just who is hate filled here dexter75? I've often found those who spew the most about others, like calling them hate filled, often have a greater issue themselves on the matter.

And of course we know hillary/the clintons are angels. Yes indeed.

Some people here are so filled with hate that they have no "perspective". They no longer know right from wrong. I was actually saying that about Ted Cruz since it appears he no longer knows right from wrong. Hillary no longer knows right from wrong.

This is probably coming from the GOP party since they have been having a lot of "secret" meetings. I think the GOP has outlived its usefulness to this country. The party has been dying for awhile now so maybe they are now taking their final breath.

I'm guessing you're choosing to ignore the post that was LITERALLY 2 posts below the post you're so outraged about, which said he didn't agree with this behavior at all?
