"After expressing reservations about Donald Trump, some of Indiana's delegates to the Republican national convention say they've received threatening messages from a few of the GOP front-runner's supporters.

The emails warn that the delegates are being watched and imply they could be targeted. Some send ominous wishes to delegates' families. Trump's Indiana campaign called the threats "deplorable."


"Little did I know that in expressing your 1st Amendment rights, that they’d come after you so hard," Dunn said. "It's very disappointing. I probably received 25 to 30 hate emails, phone calls and voice mails, posts on Facebook that I deleted. Now they're hunting down friends of mine and posting that kind of stuff on their Facebook pages."

1. Are Trump supporters copying Bernie supporters or is it the other way around?

2. I hate to see

That their friends are being targeted as well.

It's bad enough that hate speech is being toward the politicians rather than civil discourse and debate, but friends and family members being targeted by association is even worse.
