Do folks realize just how dangerous the actions they are proposing here on DU are?

Doubling down on support for gun violence at political rallies.
DU is not the place for that.
Please hide.
JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Mar 31, 2016, 10:38 AM, and voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't agree with the poster but that is not a reason for a hide. I will state once again: You cannot HIDE posts because you do not AGREE with what is said. They have to break rules in order for a hide. No hide from me.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is talking about defense; not willy-nilly gun violence. Please learn the difference.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Sick post. Thanks for alert.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I do not condone Trump's people using violence, or when Trump, himself, threatens riots and, repeatedly calls for violence.
So I do not condone the call for someone to pull a gun and blow away people even in this situation.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I just did not see this incident the way the alerter saw it.
Thank you.

Should the National Democratic Convention be threatened with OPEN CARRY the same way...
...that some so-called Democrats right here on DU threaten state universities with CAMPUS CARRY?
I'm damn tired of seeing MY university threatened here on DU with the Domestic Terrorism of CAMPUS CARRY.
If OPEN CARRY is so damn good in the eyes of so-called Democrats who post here with impunity, then why don't Democrats allow it at their national Democratic Convention?
Why is it OK to force it on MY university, but not on your own damn Convention?

Trump 'used as taunt in US colleges'
Trend that started in US high schools is increasingly being reported on the country's university campuses, reports Josh Logue for Inside Higher Ed
Trump. It’s a name that’s evolved, in only the last few months, from referring only to a billionaire real estate magnate and reality TV star to the name of the leading Republican presidential candidate. And not just any candidate – a Republican front-runner who has no qualms about inviting the ire of women, black people, immigrants and Muslims.
Now, at several high schools around the US it appears that shouting “Trump” has evolved into a kind of taunt, used by largely white students at minority opponents during, say, basketball games.
Students at one school in Indiana held posters of the leading Republican presidential candidate and chanted, “Build a wall,” to which the heavily Hispanic rival school responded by chanting, “You’re a racist!” Several days earlier, in Iowa, a high school basketball team from a school that is half Hispanic faced chants of “Trump, Trump, Trump.”
Two recent incidents involving college students show that “Trump” as a taunt may not be a high school phenomenon.
Two Northwestern University students have been charged with vandalising a chapel on campus with spray paint, writing a swastika, slurs against black and gay people – and the word “Trump”. Days later, two students at Wichita State University – one Muslim and one Hispanic – were attacked at a gas station by a man who shouted, “Trump, Trump, Trump, we will make America great again. You losers will be thrown out of the wall.”

More than 5,000 support petition to allow guns at Republican National Convention in Cleveland
Support has more than quadrupled overnight for a petition to allow firearms at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
The petition, filed by “Americans for Responsible Open Carry,” was filed Monday on Change.org, an online forum. By Wednesday, 630 supporters had signed the request to carry firearms in and around Quicken Loans Arena, which will host the 2016 Republican National Convention from July 18-21.
With a goal of 5,000 signatures, the petition topped 5,300 by 6 p.m. Thursday.
The Ohio Republican Party, which is sending one of 50 state delegations to Cleveland this summer to nominate the party’s next presidential candidate, said it was not aware of the petition.
Nor was the host committee overseeing the convention, although it noted that the Secret Service, in conjunction with Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, state and federal authorities, is handling security for the event.
“They are coordinating and will be continuously refining security plans leading up to the national convention,” said Alee Lockman, a spokesperson for the Republican National Convention.
The Secret Service banned guns at the GOP convention in Florida four years ago.
