'Black Lives Matter': We Will 'Shut Down' GOP Convention If We Can

Shades of 1968 and the Days of Rage? Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has announced that "any opportunity we have to shut down a Republican convention, we will."

Appearing on today's Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC, Cullors also blithely spoke of "the murder of Mike Brown" in Ferguson, MO. Neither of the co-guest hosts sitting in for Harris-Perry, Richard Liu and Janet Mock, challenged Cullors' characterization. This despite the fact that even Eric Holder's Justice Department found no wrongdoing on the part of the police officer who shot Brown.

Hey Patrisse, if black lives matter so much quit aborting your children and killing other blacks.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Does anybody have the numbers of what percentage of blacks are gunned down by Democrats, as opposed to other affiliations? I don’t, but I have my suspicions.

[OKSooner]

Yep. 21st Century brownshirts on their way.

[SaveFerris]

Will there be black helicopters (oh no! tinfoil!) like there were training for Denver DNC in 2008?

They just might be needed (for real) if riots are planned by people threatening such.

Obviously, they were really training here.

This would be great for the GOP. Tens of millions of American voters, who always or sometimes vote Democrat, would be scared straight.

Of course. If they don’t keep blaming the Right for all their woes, then people will figure out that it’s really the Left’s fault.

Good idea libs....I’ve been saying we should have a sit in at the GOPe leftist convention for years. Just like the Marxists did at the DNC in 1968. Plus while there we can make short work of these Marxists who are there to disrupt for a more heinous reason.

[Mr. K]

Thanks MSNBC for letting them advertise for recruits for that.

[databoss]

The majority of failed cities are run by Dems and they want to shut down the GOP. Ignorant squared...

[Jim Noble]

Excellent news!

Worth +10 (at least) to the nominee - presuming the GOP survives long enough to have a convention.

[CatherineofAragon]

Patrisse’s time would be a lot more well-spent investing in a makeover.

Sheesh

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Low IQ folks don’t realize the Democrats are the ones keeping them on the plantation. Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore...not a Republican in sight.

[COBOL2Java]

If it is a GOPe convention celebrating the kneecapping of Ted, then I wish the protestors well. Donald Trump would be running third-party by then, and the GOPe would be well on its way to the dustbin.

This would be great.

This racist group has connections with DOJ and the White House. I hope people understand what is happening.

Spell it out. You think an outright coup?

[mass55th]

“Disrupt we much.”

[SoFloFreeper]

Let’s see if the GOP can grow some testicles and prepare for these criminals.

[willibeaux]

Appy.... Now is the time recruit Hell’s Angels to provide security for the convention. They don’t take prisoners.

oohrah!!! :-)

If Trump is just in it to tire out the libs, fire back because he CAN and he’s got the money to fight the MSM/Dem attack, and plow the road for Ted, I’m all for it.

No one else in the campaign (except for Cruz and Trump) could take the hits and not curl up in a fetal position while pleading for Illegal Immigrants to love them.

If that is what purpose Trump serves, God Bless him. Let him play the Democrats game, he’s got the money to do it.

[machogirl]

Schooled in failure, not how to succeed. Schooled to “level the playing field” (take down instead of build up).
