[QUOTE=CNN]It had been a little more than four days since Betty Rivas, who owns "Sammy's" with husband Jorge, placed herself a few feet from the stage at a Trump rally at the nearby Tucson Convention Center. It was, she told CNN, "a perfect location."
Trump spotted Betty, a Mexican immigrant, as she waved a sign reading, "LATINOS SUPPORT D. TRUMP." About halfway through the event he called her up to the podium.
"I love her, I fall in love -- Melania, I'm fallin' in love with her!" Trump blared, the hand-drawn sign now in his hand, as the audience roared. They smiled for a picture and he led Betty down from the stage.
By late Sunday night, someone had spotted the photo of Rivas and Trump and shared it across the social media. First came the nasty comments on Yelp and Facebook.
Then the phone calls into "Sammy's." When Jorge picked up, again and again he heard the threats and accusations. [/QUOTE]
Her restaurant is being attacked online because she appeared on stage with Donald Trump. People slandering her so when you search her restaurant, people's reviews come up saying it is a nasty place with dogs and rats everywhere.

:( But I like Sammy's.
Regardless of whether or not you support Trump, attacking and/or threatening someone for their choice in candidate is fucking absurd.
Super scummy thing to do, leave the damn woman alone.
It's the same thing with what happened with Trump's number and SSN being leaked. Idiots will attack anyone even remotely connected to their opposing politician, because they think it makes a difference; when in reality, it just paints them as rabid voters.
People just get too riled up in the game of politics, and it can seriously harm innocent peoples' livelihoods.
Expect the Trump tweeting this story to show that liberals act like monkeys and cant behave just like those protesters in Michigan
The spanglish reviews are completely cringeworthy.
It's people like this (the harassers, not the woman) that give a bad image to latinos worldwide, fuck them hard. Cunts.
What a great way to [DEL]attack[/DEL] help Trump, surely he [I]won't make a big deal about it, right guys?[/I] I can see it now
"WOW, they say they're for minorities but if you don't tow the party line you'll get attacked relentlessly by rabid politically correct leftists, absolutely pathetic, this will KILL the country, watch, I'm always right!" - Donald Trump
Reminds me of what happened to the mozilla and marvel CEOs.
Wow. Calling someone a traitor and then trying to turn around and call people racist. I mean shit, if I wanted to hear people say "RACE TRAITOR!" and call people random racist names, I'd go on /pol/ but clearly the tables are turning these days with the so called "progressives" becoming more and more like groups of brown shirts.

Good job for them to "prove him right" then
It's the same kind of idiocy as the retards who harassed the daughter of the dentist who shot a lion by giving her ballet business poor and slanderous reviews. You assholes live in a country where freedom of speech and choice is one of its core values, respect them.
Does this sort of thing happen on the right? It seems like it's always the left (at least in America) that takes it upon themselves to destroy people's careers and lives based solely on them holding slightly politically incorrect views.

I came in here to make a similar comment. I don't like Trump, I don't like Hillary, I don't like Cruz. But you don't see their supporters sending death threats and protesting other candidate's rallies like Bernie's keeps doing. Even Trump with his violent rhetoric (killing innocents, torture, nukes) doesn't have supporters as rabid as some of Bernie's.

it feels like it is a part of the internet generation to exact retribution upon people they don't like as it is only a few clicks away
It's easier now more than ever to harass others, people take freedom of expression to absurd levels thinking it's a free pass to be assholes.
I like how the conservatives here are jumping on this to say "eeeeuh liberals are the REAL racists, they're bad people" when this kind of bullshit is business as fucking usual in their own camps.
You wanna know why this story made the news? Because it [I]doesn't usually happen.[/I]
Both sides are equally fucking terrible. People need to understand that the president isn't some sort of all knowing god. The president is just the poster child for the nation.

It's happened rather frequently over the last ten years.

I think we've just been hearing about it more because of the media. Either way there is no way to justify these actions.

It happens all the time, acting like this isn't business as usual for left wing people is absurd. Conservatives aren't monsters and liberals aren't saints. People too entrenched in their own ideology tend to lash out when they see something that goes against what they believe.

That's not how freedom of speech works you cuck

It does happen actually, a lot. When liberals get mad they can be as bad as any other person.

lol okay. maybe I'll believe you the same day I hear about a bernie rally getting cancelled due to the violent crowds of trump supporters
oh wait, that'll probably never happen. probably because unlike berniebots, they're actually at work

At this current moment in time, tons of "progressives"* are becoming more like brown shirts, with how they deal with minorities that don't follow their line of thought. It's pretty much a case of: If you don't support the Democrat party and you are a minority, you are automatically an Uncle Tom who needs to be outcasted from whatever minority group you hail from.
At the same time, several notable "progressives"* are constantly rehearsing that the reason why minorities cannot be, and I quote - "trusted to vote for the right candidate" is because they are supposedly retarded and/or incompetent from the years of being under the white man's shoe.
* Please note, I pretty much see these "progressives" as being nothing short of closet racist who only pretend to be actual progressives to get brownie points with whatever groups they tie themselves into, and to use the fact that they see themselves as progressives as a reason to discredit anyone's argument. In short, a bunch of fucktards.
