So, in Seattle a few months back, a #BLM protester took over the mike at a Bernie Sanders rally, and Bernie stood by and allowed the person to speak, and Bernie never got a chance to talk. Perhaps the #BLM movement can find a better way to get their message across?
Then again, it's 2015, folks, and this country is still fucked up with regard to race relations. I can understand the BLM rage and support them.
A couple huge caveats to that- the rally wasn't a Sanders event, he was a featured speaker at some third party's rally. He did speak later that day at his own rally in Seattle. The two women are probably not members in BLM, they are both Palin supporters who conveniently created a local BLM facebook page the day before the event. BLM has distanced themselves from those two.
Some six Trump supporters attacked him, with at least one man punching him, and a woman kicking him while he was lying on the ground.
Stay classy, Trumpers.
And they get their yuuuge attaboy from The Donald:
"Maybe he should have been roughed up, It was disgusting what he was doing."
Fuck that blowhard piece of shit. He should be charged with something inciting violence.
Sad that in this country (or anywhere) that that kind of hate can attract followers and he backs it up. The man is unfit to lead anything.
The 'Trump as Mussolini' photoshop job looks frighteningly real.
Trump is calling someone out for being those qualities?

Huh. Interesting. Thanks for the detail!
that's not to say BLM hasn't shot themselves in the foot a few times with some incredibly tonedeaf nonsense
Second time today this is relevant:
