I do not ascribe hyperbole and exaggerations as Sanders supporters. I do not even ascribe the reported death threats to the Sanders campaign, and any "rogues" out there who make threats should be reported to authorities (I assume these volumes of alleged death threats have been reported and investigated by law enforcement). Then, if suspicious, the person should be immediately arrested.

Taking offense and becoming self-righteous for our prejudicial behavior ignores the plea for votes. What campaign can afford to attack another candidates primary supporters? The idea is to get votes, not prove how you have a case of the vapors from something read. And if someone has threatened our life, OR WE KNOW OF SUCH A THREAT, it should be reported to law enforcement.
