Supporter of Bernie Sanders steals a little girl's pro Hillary sign and rips it in half.

According to a couple rally attendees at a Hillary Clinton event, they witnessed a pro-Bernie Sanders protestor rip a little girl's pro-Hillary sign in half. She had Secretary Clinton sign it, too.

Trump and Bernie supporters have been harrasing and attacking Hillary Clinton supporters for weeks. This is unacceptable.

Yeah, actually the things that the people on twitter, (as opposed to the Revolution messaging bots who are in disinformation mode at all times) are true, and there is video and numerous accounts that show just what the Bernie folks are up to. Apparently harassing and abusing Super Delegates and people daring to not support Bernie online has grown stale and they're taking their antics to harassing families, including little old ladies and small children in person now.

The Bernie online troll army is rather lazy at denying reality, when they're not dealing with those in their echo chamber. Sadly for you, your nonsense dismissing what happened is belied by reality, not that you guys care much for evidence or facts or anything. You even manage to blind yourself to videos showing the behavior.

The Bernie lawn signs are left alone. The Hillary signs have been found torn up and left in yards. Lots of angry white men in my town who've written LTTE in the local newspaper actually referring to her as "uppity " and then using biblical verses to support their views on women.

When you scrolled down thread, you could see a second video clip of a Hillary supporter turn around and launch in to a screaming match with protestors, in which she had to be restrained and turned back around. There was no excuse for the language heard, but you couldn't hear what she was saying that provoked it either.

Don't twist and make more from it than what it is, you only look foolish. It's enough to say the child was upset by yelling protestors. The protestors weren't yelling at the child, and the mother with the child wasn't even acknowling the protestors or the situation that was occurring behind her.

What happened to the Hillary, "I'm winning. Stop it!" bit?

Sorry if someone's sign was taken, but let's stop all the pressure on Bernie to get out of the race before D.C. and California have even voted.

Let's all play down the tension and nastiness.

May Bernie supporters have already decided not to vote for Hillary should she be the candidate. Hillary supporters need to be careful not to make the likelihood of a split party worse.

Many Democrats really, really don't want a Hillary candidacy.

If Hillary really is winning, she needs to be a better sport about it.

If she is losing, the same rule applies.

Bernie does not condone violence by his supporters. We all know that.

That's deplorable. Still, props to Hillary for venturing onto the East LA College campus, when there's a nicer and bigger Cal State campus about a mile north. ELAC is a CC, and built like a high school in the middle of East LA. It's a little riskier as a venue, but it's also a little closer to la gente as it were.

where super predators might attack her? That's what it sounds like you are saying. But I thought these were her "people"...her "firewall"?

She met privately with a group of politically influential black pastors during a stop at the California African American Museum in Exposition Park.

http://abc7.com/politics/hillary-clinton-speaks-at-east-la-college-amid-protests/1325047/

She does this black pastor thing a lot...and I thought politics and campaigning were not supposed to be mixed with religion...yet she gets together with these pastors (she did this down south too) and tells them how she is going to help their people and then they go back and preach to their church members about why they should vote for her.

And don't tell me they aren't doing that. I'm not that naive.

ELAC is smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood; CSULA is tucked in the hills and much easier to secure but also more remote. Incidentally I've lived in that area and participated in marches and demonstrations and they can and do get violent, meaning dumpsters thrown around, broken windows, tear gas etc. But this is just plain rude.

That somehow she was venturing into a place that was "beneath" her, or putting her in danger (oh look, sniper fire).

I don't think she would have gone there if she thought there was any danger. I doubt her security crew would have allowed it.
