"There Will Be Blood"
At a Donald Trump rally, supporters call for the death of Hillary Clinton.
They’ve got murder on their minds now.
At the previous Donald Trump rally I’d attended, in Greensboro, North Carolina, Hillary Clinton was called a “bitch” more times that I could count. “Trump That Bitch” was the most common refrain. They shouted it from the rafters, wore T-shirts emblazoned with it. But at a rally in Raleigh on Tuesday night, a new cry rang out:
“Hang that bitch!”
...
Trump alleged that former President Bill Clinton had tampered with the FBI’s investigation, and that Hillary had used her position as secretary of state to line her pockets and singlehandedly destabilize the Middle East.
While Trump made the latter case, a man stood up and yelled, “Hang Hillary!”
“Yeah!” another shouted.
A smattering of applause.
...
Meanwhile, a man with a copy of The Art of the Deal in his back pocket was ranting to a local TV reporter about Clinton’s private email server. He said Clinton should be “shot, executed” for “high treason.”

The article details other times at the rally where calls for her death were heard.
Just look at this photo from another event held a few days ago.
The media has *got* to call out that kind of hatred and examine it, condemn it and discuss how and who should combat it.
This is all bringing back some really ugly and frightening memories, straight from the time to which Trump would have us return.

You'll probably have to google him to find out why.
I have no doubt we'll be googling Trump one day soon!
