A contentious Nevada Democratic convention  this past weekend has led to a barrage of threats against the chairwoman of the state party. 

And it's led the state party's lawyer to send a rather remarkable letter to the Democratic National Committee, warning of the risk of violent outbursts at the national convention in Philadelphia. 

"Having seen up close the lack of conscience or concern for the ramifications of their actions—indeed, the glee with which they engaged in such destructive behavior—we expect similar tactics at the National Convention in July," wrote Nevada party counsel Bradley Schrager in a letter dated Monday. "We therefore formally complain to the DNC regarding these unfortunate events, and warn the body that the goal of many of these individuals, sanctioned or encouraged by the Sanders Campaign, is not party-building but something more sinister and unproductive." A Sanders spokesman told the Associated Press that the campaign had no connection to the violence at the weekend convention or the threats to the party chair. 

That's what happens when you try to immaculate the most unlikable politician in the Democrat Party -- the peons tend to get a bit uppity.
