According to BuzzFeed, the dangerous recipe - aimed at Bernie Sanders supporters - was first posted on a messaging board, not unlike 4Chan. The original poster and people on the thread now seem be sharing it maliciously. Ponychan People gloated about the idea of harming Bernie Sanders supporters CREDIT: PONYCHAN One poster wrote: "If we can gas even one Sanders supporter, we've done our job as Americans". ![]() Read more: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/10/trolls-are-trying-to-trick-bernie-sanders-fans-into-blowing-them/

9. I decided to go have a look. Haven't been there in a while
Seems a decent place... except for the anon board, which appears to be a Trump swamp.
As you do on Anon boards, I guess. |

12. Many, I would assume. In some places it's the only option.
In others, it's the cheapest option for those on a fixed income or unemployed.

14. It is somewhat difficult to read some of the comments here without hearing the comments in Bernie's

I applaud the sound of Bernie in the written words! Go Bernie!!! |
