| 2015-12-12 | |
| COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) ‐ The co-chair of the Colorado Springs chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union resigned on Friday after posting on Facebook that he would shoot Donald Trump supporters before election day. Loring Wirbel told The Gazette the post was not meant to be taken seriously, but he acknowledged it could be seen as offensive. "It was intended totally as a joke," he said.

| #4 It wasn't the hate. It was the reference to 'shooting.' Even ACLU has standards. |

| #1 ...And had the worst case scenario happened - some deranged nutcase shot a Trump supporter or campaign worker - it would have been blamed on 'Trump's incendiary rhetoric'.... Mike |
