“Kill Donald Trump”: Twitter Explodes With Violent Threats

Twitter has exploded in recent days with violent threats targeting Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump.

While the left often accuses the right of engaging in vitriolic rhetoric, the number of threats directed against Trump far outweighs those leveled at Hillary Clinton.

A basic Twitter search for the terms “kill Donald Trump” and “murder Donald Trump” reveal a deluge of violent remarks directed at the Republican candidate in the aftermath of last week’s debate.

In comparison, similar threats against Clinton are almost non-existent.

Although the vast majority of the threats are obviously tongue-in-cheek, some of them come across as extremely menacing.

Why have they not been arrested? If this was said about obama they would have been arrested yesterday.

Obama has lived this long. Trump will never be touched.

Not sure it is just the left that feels this way.

what you fail to understand is Muslims WILL kill anyone against them.

Does this not show premeditated activity?

They (the Secret Service) probably could track them down really fast if they weren't so focused on running kids out of parks because the president would be getting CLOSE to them.
Remember the Secret Service showing up at the school in Colorado to interrogate the 12 year old kid who posted a note on Facebook telling obama to be careful? LESS THAN 24 hours!
And believe this 100%.
The Secret Service knows where to find EVERY computer user in the country.
If they have any trouble, the NSA can fill in the blanks.
There is absolutely NOTHING you can do "anonymously" on the Internet -- that is straight from a Secret Service agent I used to know (dated my daughter).
Keep cheering.
