Police say radical activist stole prison blueprints, stashed guns and ammo in facility

A former adviser on criminal justice issues to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) was plotting a violent prison escape, stashing guns and ammunition inside a soon-to-be-opened prison, authorities said this week.

Nashville police said Wednesday that Alex Friedmann, a prison reform advocate who helped shape the Vermont senator's criminal justice agenda, spent months plotting an escape for inmates of the city's detention center. Sanders worked with Friedmann to develop positions on criminal justice in the lead up to his 2016 presidential campaign—positions Sanders still touts.

This fits with a Berner trying to assassinate Steve Scalise and current Sanders staffers threatening violence if he isn't nominated. Seems Bernie attracts a certain kind of person.

“The company you keep”, as the old saying goes.

But then, we already knew that about Bernie.

Wait until the nomination is not Bolshi Boy. These types will be the ones to keep an eye out for. A very dangerous lot.

a prison reform advocate

First reform was using dental floss to secure the doors past the rows of cells leading to the outside. Second was awarding reparations money to all who declare they were innocent and then releasing them.

The funny thing is he has all these violent radicals surrounding him and yet on multiple occasions he cannot keep control of his microphone from some lunatics who’s storm is stage.

But then again, I guess it makes sense because the agenda of his violent supporters is destruction, not security.

Everything about Socialism is taking things that don't belong to you and
doing things at the point of a gun.

Bernie is the same as Angela Davis.

Same hair, same philosophy, same goals.

He is the American Stalin.

“Seems Bernie attracts a certain kind of person. “

Yep -and Mr. “Would-be Benevolent Leader/Tyrant” lost his cool on Blooming Idiot during the debate (circular firing squad” in Nevada - he tries to talk calmly and in an nonthreatening manner but his temper is barely under rein.

I hope he gets the nomination.

As I have said to many people (most often concerning the state of the city I currently work in) as the water drains from the toilet....the lower the water level gets....the faster it goes round and round right before it all goes down the drain.

Many leftist cities are currently in the finally speedy “round n round” phase of going down the shitter hole.

That is a mere precursor to the inevitable mattle coming between the 2 oppoaokg life views espoused by Trump supporters and those who hold Bread Line Bernie Belief System.

The inevitable cold civil war is ratcheting up.

Hopefully we do not get to a hot civil war.

As the Bread Line Bernie vs Trumpster belief systems come over to being the 2 in the ballot, no way I heck the Bread Line Bernie Bros scale back their crazy town actions.

What they have been caught saying in private (Veritas videos) will actually heighten. They will be emboldened and more overt violence will occur.

The skirmishes between Antifa and Pround Boys are just a taste of may come.

For a political idea to be beaten back it must be defeated soundly. The only way to do that is for Bernie to get the nomination and for Trump to destroy him and the philosophy soundly....overwhelmingly....nationwide.

That is how you pound it down for a generation. You cannot kill that zombie but you can wipe it out of prominence for a decade or so.

I live here in Nashville and we have “open primaries” in TN. I just realized yesterday that I need to do my civic duty by voting for Beanie in the Dem primary. Last time I need to do that was in ‘04 when I voted for Al Sharpton, although it was a close call for worst candidate then with Howard Dean in the race.

“... his temper is barely under rein.”

I have noticed that whenever St. Bernard is seriously challenged his eyes get wild and he looks violent and crazy with that marxist haircut of his. He is not a sane man.

Thinking along the same lines. Angela Davis was accused of and tried for smuggling a shotgun to her lover communist black psychopath George Jackson. It was used to kill a judge during the ill fated jailbreak attempt in which Jackson was killed and I think his psycho brother was too.

She was acquitted but the evidence points to her and/or Jackson’s lawyers as the smugglers of the sawed off shotgun to Jackson in jail. No one else could see him.

That is why Davis became a college professor at either UCLA or Berkeley for many years (aided by old Communist Party supporter Prof. Donald Kalish, who admitted that “he was to the left of the Communist Party” (see Calif. Senate hearings on “Un-American Activities in California”.
