CNN And MSNBC Are The Problem ----> Zero Violence In Nevada - They Lied And Are STILL LYING

8. You're splitting hairs.

You're trying to make the case that since blood wasn't running across the floor, there was no violence. Here's the thing that makes the eyebrows on reasonable people launch into the stratosphere; you're quibbling over labels and ignoring the actual intent of those involved in the incident. You also don't take into account just how damaging those optics were, not only impacting Sanders, but spilling over on Hillary and the whole Democratic Party.

In any other venue, the chaotic actions depicted in those scenes would rightly make any normal person feel intimidated, fearful and threatened. When a large group of angry people leave their seats and rushed the stage, yelling obscenities, booing and the cat-calling, shaking their fists and creating a disruption that stopped the proceedings and brought in the police to restore order, most people see that as violent behavior. Sanders followers might not even consider death threats rise to the level of "violent" behavior since no one is actually dead yet, so what description is appropriate for what see?

Your whole argument falls apart because you cannot control so many negative visuals. The American public is watching the same videos that Sanders people claim validate their perceptions, and yet the viewers have the opposite takeaway. They see Sanders people behaving in a violent manner, just like they've seen Sanders fans in past who were trying to disrupt Trump's rallies and intimidate Hillary's fans who came to her events. Now they know Sanders by his supporters who have earned a history of violent misbehaviors.
