Faux outrage cause it's Bernie.
I bet if someone did a fake post that a Bernie supporter ripped a little girls arm off they wouldn't question the post at all. They would believe it hook line and sinker.
That's what happens when you get brainwashed by Corporate Democrats.

insta8er
(960 posts)presented to you on a silver platter, you lack the basic skills to see a different narrative than what the OP would like you to believe. You act like sheep and stop from asking some basic questions while looking at the video. There is however a reason why you chose to follow the corporate candidate, it is because you are so easily influenced. This video is just a minor example of it. Thinking skills have been put on hold until someone tells you what to think.

2. The kids mother? because everyone claims that it is the kids mother, but she could very well not be..right?
3. The kid seems to be upset, but do we know why he is upset? the OP says he is upset because he is being yelled at? but that is the direction the OP would like to give it, because it makes for a good piece of FAUX OUTRAGE and you Sheep go for it hook line and sinker...
----------In fact we don't know why the kid is crying or being upset.------------- he might not have gotten the ice cream he was demanding 5 minutes before the video started.
You see, I could give you even more explanations or unknowns based upon the video that you thought was a close and shut case. The cursing happened yes...so? the police were there..so? what does that all say?

(19,053 posts)There seems to be a whole lot going on that is not shown on the video. Why would he be calling the woman "war"? Don't you think that it makes more sense that he is chanting in general in opposition to Hillary and her policies than to assume that the man was targeting a woman who probably has no power to carry out war plans?
After living through this primary, I don't think that Humpty Dumpty will be able to put shit back together. You all have been making shit up, creating your own reality, and getting caught up in all the drama that you all have had a hand in creating.

I have a two kids with ASD, and they don't handle loud noises in their own school. They wouldn't have done well there without headphones. The protestor wasn't shouting at the child, it was clearly in response to someone not on screen. I don't condone foul language in public, but I have no problem with the protesters being there and being as loud as legally allowed. You all are welcome to do the same.

(25,111 posts)Kittycat
(10,493 posts)Unless that was a girl, no one was speaking to the child. And the child was already upset when the recording started. That came a bit late to the show. Try again.
BTW, I made no excuses for the foul language, but it wasn't directed at the child.
ETA: I scrolled further down in the twitter feed where the video picked up. It was another woman they were yelling at not the kid. No excuse, but she was arguing back. No idea what exchange prompted it.

....A handful of Sanders supporters unsuccessfully tried to interrupt her evening speech, and scores more protested outside. Clinton, however, focused on a general-election argument by repeatedly skewering Trump, who became the presumptive GOP nominee as Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich ended their presidential campaigns this week.
Clinton said Trump is dangerous and divisive and does not listen to people. He would wreck the economy, try to repeal the Affordable Care Act and would allow other nations to obtain nuclear weapons, she said.
"With all the challenges we face in America and the world, we can't have a loose cannon in the Oval Office," Clinton said. "That is a risk we cannot afford."

(68,632 posts)by shouting her down an example of encouraging free speech? It seems to me you only want your kind of speech. My Dad used to say I hate what you say, but I would die defending your right to say it. Trying to shout down the other guy actually limits speech and positive discussion. You defend your right to bully people and prevent them from saying things you don't like...no way that is free speech.

You make me pine for the purge.

(18 posts)this brief video shows no one yelling at this kid. The kid does look upset and clearly there's a protest going on but the assertion that protesters were swearing at the boy is not found in this video.

WTH are these scumballs screaming FU** YOU! at little kids? Damn!
Its telling that so much vile poison is being directed at democrats while the fascist Trump is basically considered a co-revolutionary by the bros!
This garbage has descended into cult territory now.
I hope those poor kids aren't scarred for life from these filthy verbal attacks!

(24,149 posts)This is getting insane.
Everybody's a disenfranchised victim of something or somebody. They just have to get mad enough, yell until everybody votes for their leader, and then they'll march on Washington!
So why vote? Go ahead and march on Washington and have the revolution, if that's the answer.

(30,250 posts)Just days after Donald Trump sewed up the title of presumptive Republican presidential nominee, supporters of independent Vermont Senator and upstart Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came out in force to disrupt a Hillary Clinton speech in Los Angeles, forcing her to end the event early. Speaking to a largely Latino crowd in Monterey Park, Clinton weathered interruption after interruption, and as the local ABC affiliate reported, the protesters being led out all had Bernie Sanders name on their lips:

(11,088 posts)lady cry. It is possible to protest a candidate and rally without being a complete asshole/ horrible person. As a Bernie supporter, I've been screamed at while attending a Clinton rally in support of my wife. Like

Yes, there was yelling. Yes, it seemed a little scary, full of passion. Kind of normal for a political protest.
Don't bring your kid, or protect them, or help them regulate in the midst of it al.
Do not use them as a political football, which is what some of you all are trying to do.

(1,151 posts)Not even a crying child will make people think "gee maybe we need to chill", no it's just the same old excuse-making and whining and abdication of responsibility. "Oh don't bring your child to see your favorite politician" - like what the fuck? I guess if I go to a Trump rally and get my black ass kicked it's my fault right? "Oh you can't prove it was Bernie supporters" (yeah they weren't chanting his name before they attacked that little girl)". I would call these people "childish" but that's an insult, I think "degenerates" is a better word because they have degenerated from what a responsible citizen and a responsible voter should be.
This isn't just about Bernie though; this is the kind of thing that we see with all these angry fringe ideological movements who reject the hard work needed to build consensus and move society to your side (though with the angry fringe right the ideology itself directly hurts too many people to ever build a coalition around).
The Professional Left needs to go back to the drawing-board. Tear the ENTIRE fucking edifice down, start over. Embrace pragmatism, compromise and coalition-building, even if you disagree with a given politician, even if they're too neoliberal for your tastes, with a strong enough coalition built by the above, you can move them to where you are. But screaming at people doesn't work. It hasn't worked for 50 fucking years. Screaming at mothers and children DEFINITELY won't work. (and this isn't just Bernie supporters but the campus activist set, even though I agree with both of their ideological positions!). The problem is though that a lot of (mostly upper middle class white) people are getting rich off producing the ideological equivalent of clickbait designed to channel outrage and energy into screaming at people and not building movements and characterizing everyone who disagrees as Eurasia or Eastasia depending on the day. This is what leads to a bunch of grown men screaming at a little girl and ripping up her sign and making them cry and not feeling a shade of remorse. Because they have been taught to dehumanize their ideological enemies, even if they're little girls who don't care about the ideological shit and think a woman President would be an amazing thing (which it would be). We know where the dehumanization of your ideological enemies leads. We know where that shit leads. It needs to stop.
What is even more amazing is that we know where this leads and we don't even try to be sensitive to anything that even hints at that. We've already had a SD threatened by a Bernie supporter. What happens if someone is hurt or killed by a Bernie protester at a Hillary rally? What if some unhinged fanatic actually hurts or kills a SD supporting Hillary? I'll tell you what happens. You better move to Sweden or Canada, because leftism is DEAD in America for another 50 years. Every left-wing populist movement would be compared to it. But I don't think the most fanatic Bernie supporters care, because virtue signaling is more important than winning, because touting "principles" and staying pure to stroke their own ego is what they're really in this for.
