The seething hatred from the left is undeniably real and palpable. So much so that they will attack those who are just trying to do their job, like trial lawyers and blue collar police officers. What makes this particularly despicable is that no left wing politician has the gonads to call out their own over this obvious violence and hatred. In fact, Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters were practically begging for violence in the streets when Trump first took office.
By not calling out their own over this mayhem, left wing politicians are essentially encouraging this unnecessary and unproductive violence. So, we should only expect more of this violence from the left. It's no wonder Americans are stocking up on guns and ammo.
“My home was attacked. I'd rather not go into it because it would encourage other people to do it more, but you know, I've had nearly 100 death threats,” van der Veen said, according to a pool report.
This is truly awful and all Americans ought to be outraged about this. No matter who the client is or what they have been accused of doing, lawyers should not have to fear for their personal safety for giving their clients able legal counseling and/or launching a vigorous legal defense for them.

Creating fear is how the left intends to get everything they want. Exactly how the Nazis and the Soviets operated. And let's not forget, they want everything...
Intimidation tactics like this are wrong and troublesome, but neither side has a monopoly on them. Think of the NJ judge whose son was killed. I can't understand the mentality of these people.
This thuggish behavior of attacking the home of a political opponent is a really bad trend and needs to be stopped. I've seen both sides do it. Perhaps additional cameras and harsher sentences will serve?

No one should have their life threatened, but can you link the article quoting them 'begging for violence'? (and to be clear, I am absolutely saying anyone who threatened violence against Trump's lawyers needs to be arrested)

What are you talking about? Right now people across the nation are upset that Trump made up election fraud, tried to steal an election, made up 'fake news' (which is virtually identical to the Lügenpresse used during the Third Reich). Trump incited violence and was not tried because many of his co-conspirators were jurors.
The few people on the left who commit vandalism or make threats should be arrested (such as those targeting Trump's lawyer's house). That said, there's a heavy dose of irony in Trump supporters attempting comparisons to Germany in the Third Reich era.

100% agree. The problem is we had a president calling for division for the last four years, and now we have a large number of politicians on the right who put party loyalty over country, and refused to convict that man, even knowing he was guilty. I don't know how to change that, but those kind of actions only promote more violence.
