A volunteer working at the polls in Texas was injured when he attempted to remove a campaign sign, after the county commissioner ordered the sign's removal. Most states have a restriction on how far you have to be from the polling location when you are campaigning, so these materials usually aren't allowed inside the voting location and some distance outside.

“I think it’s deplorable it just shows how far we’ve come in politics where people want to be so mean, so hateful to try and injure somebody who’s probably got no political party persuasion one way or another and is just working at a poll.” He says it’s the worst campaign related crime he’s seen in his 16 years.

If a Hillary sign cut some poll worker's hands, it would be the hugest loving deal.

Hillary's not the media's punching bag.

Because there's already millions of idiots out there scraping the bottom of the barrel for anything they can possibly pin on Hillary. Her biggest non-email scandal was calling half of Annoying Orange's supporters 'deplorable', and that's already lasted longer as a cultural soundbite than the audio tapes of Annoying Orange admitting to loveual assault.

If it was a Hillary sign with box cutter blades on it, every single white, non-college-graduate might have their head explode from the anger-hype.

Anything negative that happens on the opposition's side is going to be a "huge deal' on the other side, but nothing Hillary and her supporters do will prevent her from being elected, regardless of who is angry, not to mention that it would be glossed over by the majority of news networks.

At the same time though, you don't actually see Hillary supporters burning down black churches or beating up protesters. If anyone from her camp actually caused demonstrable, physical harm to another person, we would never hear the end of it.

Maybe I just hang around the opposition too much. I'm not a big fan of echo chambers, so I try and seek out conversations with people that don't necessarily agree with what I'm saying. I'm also not really sure whether it's because of an earnest desire to change people's minds, or just because I like arguing on the internet.
