So basically what you're saying is...



....and that nobody with children should be allowed to hold public office if they want their children to not be scared, to be able to play in their own yard without worry, and to get a sound nights sleep.

This is reductio ad absurdium at work, fellas. There is a looooooooooong history of people in both parties being down right ruthless with the children of public officials. It's happened at all levels of our government. Them being exposed to a protest outside their residence is tame in comparison to what has happened all throughout our history. All Dino seems to be saying, here, is that it should be expected if you run for office. If you don't want it to happen, don't run, because it's going to happen if you are in office. It's an unfortunate truth, but it is a truth. It's not just because of the divisiveness of the times we live in, it has literally been going on for at least the entirety of the 20th century, if not the history of our nation (I can just think of instances dating to the late-19th/early-20th off the top of my head).
