Let me preface by remarks by saying if this report is apocryphal the person who made it up should be brought to account. But if it isn't, wow:1StrongBlackMan

(99,710 posts)Peaceful protest is a fundamental right but I can't believe Senator Sanders would countenance such aberrant behavior.

Yes, people have freedom of speech. And, yes, that freedom of speech can hurt a campaign, if it is used poorly.
It sounds like this was a poor use of that right. It should not be defended by other supporters of the same campaign. Instead, it should be condemned.

(1,580 posts)On this message board there was another thread with a second kid who was crying. That was a different kid. Some obscenities were hurld and scared the kid. A guy was giving free hugs and was calming the kid. I am not sure but I thought that they were swearing at the kid's mother... People on the thread Bernie Sanders supporters were not disavowing it. An example of a tame thread which seeks to say this stuff is okay is where the author talks about another rally of anti Vietnam protests. The presenter said the war was more obscene than the obscenity.
The thread was attached to a twitter feed and I couldn't get into the video but the picture was of a boy child not a girl.
