Black Lives Matter Takes Over Sanders Event

[Ben]

For the second time now. Sanders gave up trying to talk. I find this amusing as it is progressive policy coming home to roost. It seems they're afraid to do this at a Clinton event though.

Probably Clinton operatives setting it up.

That wouldn't surprise me at all.  It is the way they work.

I think there is almost nothing that happens in politics today that isn't planned or done deliberately.

Funny, that the blacks are going after their most ardent supporter.

Goes along with burning down your own neighborhood

Or being paid to do so.

"The blacks"? The blacks I saw today were shopping at Wal-Mart, while blacks (and probably whites, too) were purposely clogging a freeway just a few miles away. Another black walked all around the store to find the key to the ammo case for me - he is my new favorite person. I suspect most blacks, like most whites, have only the foggiest notion what a Bernie Sanders is, and have better things to do.

Funny, that the blacks screaming socialists are going after their most ardent supporter.

FTFY.  Because this isn't really about color.  All these "movements" really boil back down to socialism.  Pure, unadulterated equality of outcome socialism.

Sanders gave up trying to talk.

Well, at least there's an upside.

Did anybody give them Jeb Bush's campaign schedule?

That raises an interesting point.  Why have we not seen more of these protests at Republican candidate events?

They're more afraid they'll be arrested, beaten, or shot?

[griz]

Or more likely because there are people there who would respond with "all lives matter" and be willing to debate it on camera.

[Ben]

Not to be mean, but because they know a wimpy white-guilt liberal when they see one. They have a much better chance of taking over his event then they do of a Republican event, or a Clinton event.

If nothing else, it's a clear indication that Sanders is in no means equipped to run the US. Every petty third world dictator would be walking all over us.

So, status quo for a third Obama term, then?

Well, they went to take over a Hillary event, but it didn't work out:

Also, totally veering my own thread, but what the hell does this mean?:

"I'm going back at the universal background check," Clinton says in NH. "It's a very well-organized interest group that scares people."

[Scout26]

Nearest I can translate:  "We're going to take away whitey's guns."

[Mannlicher]

the only black lives that 'matter', are those that are politically expedient.  No one, including the so called 'leaders of the black community', give a fig about black lives in general.

[KD5NRH]

It's Secret Service protocol to shut the doors once Hillary's in the building, so the protesters may have simply arrived too late.

Would be kinder to everyone if they'd shut the doors before she gets in the building.

[Scout26]

Looks like they hit Bush's campaign.*
