I would tend tho agree that the authorities need to work up a way to deal with antifa...these well organized mobs of young men raining terror at demonstrations. But that is not a left/right issue.

And both the left and right need to tone it down on violence.

The Portland stabber was a Sanders fan as well.

Starting to see a theme here.....

Violence? What Trump supppoters have done shootings? What Trump supporter spit in a girls face? Which Trump supporters hit people with bike locks? Which Trump supporters made up fake hate crimes?

Yes indeed. Bernie was all about that.

bmw335xi, do you care to acknowledge that? Or do you want to hold onto your idea that only "the far left" commits crazy crimes?

Or do you have the decency and integrity to admit that the far right has an extremist problem too?

Well - that doesn't fit into the narrative so it won't be mentioned.

Just your opinion. Most on the left would disagree violently. Hell, the entire leftist agenda is based on violence!

Not to name names, but not every politician is known for addressing situations like that.

It's nice that Bernie released a statement, but completely unnecessary. He didn't give orders or ask his supporters to do what the criminal did. Every group has it's extremists. I really don't expect Trump or Hillary or Bernie to take responsibility for the acts of the deranged.
