[quote]A Donald Trump supporter carrying a gun and passing out sample Republican literature in front of a Virginia polling site badgered a mom with her young son as she attempted to cast her vote — but police declined to intervene because of the state’s open carry laws, she claimed.
Erika Cotti said the armed man harassed her for not taking one of the sample Republican ballots as she tried to walk into the Loudoun County election site.
“I had to explain to my 9-year-old why a man with a 357 magnum is standing outside the polling station,” she told the Huffington Post. “I felt intimidated.”

10 通の返信And? Not sure that this is an issue considering the Black Panthers do it every election. For them its "protecting the vote" but for Trump it must be "voter suppression".

3 通の返信Even without the gun it's illegal to harass voters so I don't see why open carry is even relevant.

18 通の返信Why can he get away for harassing a lady while he had a gun on him? I really hope someone took action and stopped him because that could end up like a shit situation. In Canada no one really has guns besides Hunters, Police/Security, Military and the rare person to defend their family. America on the other hand has an amendment to let practically anyone to carry a firearm. Carrying a firearm in public is extremely dangerous if practically anyone has a gun. America should make the process of getting a gun harder with thorough background checks, mental health tests etc. Also if she didn't wanna take a forking pamphlet that deal with it. You shouldn't throw a hissy fit because someone doesn't agree with you. [spoiler]Go Hillary[/spoiler]

2 通の返信Yep. This kind of despicable nonsense is why I'll be spending my Tuesday outside various polling places with a camera trained on the Trumplings.

1 返信I hate poll monitoring. I understand that most of them are nice people trying to promote their candidates, but it just feels weird. Also, there will always be the one guy who takes it to an extreme, and just forces their ideology on others. I don't see any reason for a gun at a polling station, but some people just need one to feel safe I guess.

4 通の返信Don't assume that this guy represents all the trump supporters. It would be highly stereotypical to say that, and disrespectful to the actual intelligent people who would prefer a blundering idiot compared to a lying, criminal snake. We can regulate the amount of damage he can do, I'm not so sure about her.

So... she properly explained to the child the man's constitutional right to bear arms? The issue here wasn't the gun, the issue was he didn't take the first "no." He didn't wave the gun in her face, he just had it on him.

2 通の返信Remember when she changed her stance on gay marriage after years of hating the idea? Yeah, votes matter and politicians will do anything to get them, but Jesus man, really? [i]~TheGreatReebok[/i]

16 通の返信Hillary is almost definitely corrupt, though. I gave her the benefit of the doubt for awhile, too. But, at this point you'd have to be blind to not connect the dots. There are no winners here, but I suppose I'd prefer Hillary and the status quo over Trumps wildcard and inevitable stream of blunders.

1 返信Title should be changed to, "Woman makes claims of harassment to Huffpo, Cops say "harassers" did nothing wrong."
