The Associated Press is warning its reporters to stay vigilant after several received harassing messages from Bernie Sanders supporters.
Danny Spriggs, the AP's vice president for global security, said some reporters have received angry emails, social media messages and phone calls after the AP declared Hillary Clinton the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
"We have not received any specific security threats," Spriggs said in an email to employees, according to Poynter. "It is always good to practice situational awareness around AP bureaus and offices."
The AP on Monday declared Clinton the Democratic nominee, saying she had enough pledged delegates and superdelegate support to reach the party's threshold for the nomination.

HuffPo: Inherent Value and Logic in Violence Against Trump Supporters
Violence from Sanders supporters? Somehow it must be Donald Trump’s fault.
Completely different reaction since it was Sander’s supporters making threats. Interesting.
Was AP colluding with Hillary? Intriguing article from ZeroHedge:

I won’t be answering calls from unknown numbers today, after third call from Bernie supporters telling me they’d hunt me down in the streets
At the very least, it was obvious that AP was pre-announcing their own “poll” to sway the election in the critical state of California. It was really and unsavory act by a media outlet. The Sanders supporters should be hopping mad.
But then again, Bernie had a ton of information he could have thrown at Hillary and didn’t. He was somewhat like Mitt Romney in that regard: He didn’t go all in for the win.
This is what Democracy look like...if you are a Totalitarian.
When will the world be safe from those violent, dangerous Tea Partiers?
You mean the AP reporters ? Have no idea. They should have been run out of town years ago.
