So much distortion coming from those links, I'm not even going to bother.
Ah, the location defence, excellent. Well done.

I hope that America proves me wrong, I hope that these non-PC Americans of yours come out and defend the people who are going to get attacked, and yes, that includes the possibility of Trump supporters being attacked too before someone starts, no-one should have to face persecution because of their religion, race, sexual orientation, gender or political choices.
Unfortunately in the aftermath of our referendum, thanks to some of the rhetoric used during it, people were facing persecution and discrimination for one or more of those reasons, and I don't think that saying "It couldn't happen here" will defend America from the same outcome.
On the bright-side, the spike does seem to have calmed back down again now, presumably for us because the Brexit process is proceding at the speed of a flattened snail, but it gave that nasty side of society an airing because people in important places said things that resonated with them.

Of course, I'm just a foreigner, so who knows, eh?
