13. Bernie supporter here, but has this been confirmed? Arrested for is not the same thing.

Yes, it's stooping pretty low of Hillary supporters to get behind any expected efforts by the Hillary campaign and the rest of the establishment to paint Bernie supporters as violent, and I think people should start taking a hard look at themselves and the lengths they are willing to go to vilify the other candidate with hearsay and anecdotal evidence to prop up theirs. But I'm going to reserve judgement on this one until Wendel Pierce is found guilty.

For that matter, once he has(assuming it goes that way), it may be fair to bring up in counter to broad brush claims about Bernie supporters, but unless to point out hypocrisy(as this op does) I for one won't be dredging it up to characterize Hillary supporters at large. It doesn't represent them any more than any single or curated sample group represents Bernie supporters.
