Is BLM obsessed with stopping Bernie? (were the folks who took the mic BLM at all?)
I hope those folks turn out to be paid disrupters. It would make no sense for them to do this when Bernie hasactually put all their criticisms to rest and is now addressing everything BLM cares about).
They know nobody's more anti-racist and anti-police violence than Bernie Sanders.
They know Bernie backs the BLM agenda unequivocally, while the other candidates are wishy-washy on it.
They know nothing would be better for the anti-racist cause if Bernie wasn't in the race.
They know the Sanders campaign would have gladly let them have the moment of silence if they'd just approached the organizers before the rally.

2. Not sure what you meant by that.
You would agree there was no reason for Bernie to be prevented from speaking, right? That there's no longer any reason for BLM to treat Bernie like he's worse than any other Dem candidate on race?
HRC never has a moment of silence for victims of police violence at any of her events. Neither does O'Malley and neither would Biden.
(on edit) were you saying that they put the acronym in lower case? didn't know that. Will correct.
BLM is flexing their muscles. They think they can affect presidential politics. Notice they are not going after Hillary. Also notice a lot of white activists have attached themselves to (taken over) this group as well.
I'm expecting the steam to run out ala Occupy. But if it is still going strong, BLM will make for dangerous conventions...This is a group that is open to terrorist tactics.
I wonder if it has occurred to the members of the Bernie Squad that many Black Folk have been taught for decades that the Jews are responsible for just about everything that they are pissed off about, and that that may be why they are going after Bernie so hard.
Notice they are not going after Hillary.
Yeah. Quite the co-inky-dink, innit?
:wink:

5. because the GOP has competent security
Netroots lack of security was disgraceful and Sanders may have to step up his security.

Occupy started in 2011, before 2012 Presidential Election. Could we see something like this this year? Probably yes.
Judging by all the BLM/Bernie topics trending now on the DU homepage, the primitives are in quite a panic over the BLM crowd zeroing in on the liver-spotted old fool from Vermont. They can't seem to talk about anything else.
Concealed carry?

If you pander to fringe nuts, perverts, and savages, you shouldn't be surprised when they show up at your rallies.
Fister's still around? I thought that he'd moved on a while back, certainly didn't seem as prolific as he once was.
No. Ken Burch and benburch are different primitives. Ken is just lucky enough to be confused with one of the greatest primitives to ever live.
