But, amazingly, it did not succeed.

On Sun Jun 12, 2016, 02:54 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

You know what's WORSE than mass murder?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512179296

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Hide this. Why on earth is a post equating the Democratic presumptive nominee or any other Democrat allowed to be with being a war monger and being worse than a mass murderer on a day that this country has lost so many to such a senseless crime? This post is just sick.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jun 12, 2016, 03:02 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: To borrow a phrase from a wiser person than me, "Have you no decency?"
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nothing wrong with this post.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Easy hide
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: An OP directly implicating Bernie Sanders in the Florida massacre is not hidden. This OP is about war, a traditional subject for liberals to discuss.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
