That's infuriating. It's also puzzling to me that someone would think that physical threats are an effective way of getting someone to change their views - it may publicly silence someone, but it won't change their mind when they cast a vote anonymously.

Incidentally, I think that's why they need to stop doing caucuses - there's nothing democratic about being bullied into voting for someone.
