Bernie Sanders supporters have turned out to be violent and sometimes murderous and they are considered on the Left. Would media be so

lenient with Trump supporters if they went around trying to kill people?

    Um....I am yet to meet one Bernie supporter that had any violent tendency.  

    Broad brushing a whole big group is a very lame approach to make a point.

    The shooter at the R baseball practice was a Bernie supporter and volunteer. 
    Do you remember the violence at one of the Dem caucuses when they were throwing chairs etc. 
    There are some on here who have implied violence towards conservatives.

    In America there was a girl who went to school and shot people cos she didn't like Mondays.. point being that the two are not necessarily connected,.,.

    True. But if there were more than one girl or even some boys who shot people because they disliked Mondays then we would and should look for the connection. And still maybe there is none but there would be cause for alarm.

    They don't pay attention to news that don't support their beliefs that they are the good guys. They pretend to be cerebral but the main part of the brain they are using is the emotional side. Already you can see the anger in them at what I suggest. Just look at the posts. How much more would it take to push them over from insults to violence? I say not much. Scary to see how low they go and you need not wonder how they can become murderous. Continue to stand strong. I promise to. This post was edited by O-uknow at June 28, 2017 6:27 AM MDT

    We do pay attention to the news.  You are broad brushing a whole group with how you worded this post title.  No one is denying there aren't violent people on BOTH sides.

    You should reread the question. The topic is about showing the media bias...not about claiming Sander's supporters are violent.

    Then that should have been the statement alone without the big broad brushing to start.  Just saying.

    The broad brushing is to show how the media would react had this been a Trump supporter/conservative. Just as all we heard from the media before the election was how Trump supporters were going to be violent and riot, they were half right.

    Trump supporters tend to be successful, wealthy, and educated. Such folks tend to behave more civil.

    Actually 43% of college educated voters supported President Trump. And yes it was us uneducated rednecks who put him over the top. You say redneck like it's a bad thing. Nothing wrong with redneck or blue collar just means we work for a living.

    There is a difference. Christian don't defend or remain silent about these idiots. They are not Christian...they may claim it but the Bible does not back up their actions. Jesus Christ taught no such things. 
    People can claim to be whatever they want it doesn't make it true.

  • Meh...
    They were not Bernie Sanders supporters. 

    The author of this post is full of painting broad broad stroked for some reason.
    I'm happy to play this game if that's what y'all want :)

    Actually the point of question, is to show the bias of the media. Unless I am corrected by the asked. 
    Before the election even took place all the media was speculating about the violence and riot that would happen after the results came in. But that's not what happened...but they did correctly predict the riots and violence.

    Can you imagine the fit that would be thrown if a Trump supporter was found with a hit list full of prominent Dems on it? It would be nonstop coverage.
