Democrats lose control of presidential event
CNN ^ | 7/19/15 | Chris Moody

Posted on 07/19/2015 7:43:18 AM PDT by ek_hornbeck

A town hall for liberal activists featuring two Democratic presidential candidates was interrupted by dozens of demonstrators on Saturday who shouted down the contenders and demanded they address criminal justice issues and police brutality.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders planned to attend a public sit-down interview with journalist Jose Antonio Vargas in front of a left-leaning crowd here at the annual Netroots Nation conference, a gathering of progressives, when the tone of the program shifted just a few minutes into the event.

O'Malley was answering questions from Vargas on stage when dozens of boisterous conference attendees flooded through a side door and shouted down the White House contender.

I wonder if Hillary’s people were there to stir the pot more than just a bit.

Not so. Jerry Brown is waiting in the wings.

I noticed that the boos started immediately when O’Malley said “White lives matter”. After he apologised, and when he stepped off stage, he chanted, “Black lives matter! Black lives matter!”, apparently having taken the correction to heart.

OK Demonstrators. Got the message.

It’s not even that ALL black lives matter... Blacks lives like Clarence Thomas don’t matter... NO, it’s that all black thug lives matter.

Black lives don’t matter if those who take them are black.

I offer Chicago & Baltimore as proof.

You're right - the Chicago/Detroit weekly slaughters proves your point...

The Black Lives Matter meme is an attack on police officers, a lawful society, and all forms of law enforcement. It's a manifestation of the desire to create anarchy and mob rule.

"Black lives matter" has nothing whatsoever to do with the numbers of black citizens murdered every week in black inner city hellholes.
