Very loud and very obtuse - I hope their relatives disown them when they go back home thinking they were "cool".

They should have their credentials revoked and they should be kicked out of the hall.

They need to be booted. This is disrupting speeches that are important. I don't want to hear your racist white ass yelling "Black Lives Matter" while you disrupt yet another person of color while they are speaking.

But if these assholes do this to Michelle, I'm going to think murderous thoughts. They need to be dragged the fuck out of there. Protest is one thing, but disrupting a convention that the majority wants to see and hear is unacceptable.

It's been a pattern all day.

I'm sorry, but Bernie is going to have to address this behavior in his speech tonight.

Bernie themselves

It is a great speech Corey is giving

I am ignoring them, and so are the speakers, and the vast majority at the Convention

Although I have to say that it sounds like only a couple of young white guys who are closer to a mic than they should be.

is a perfect example of the Bernie contingent that turned me off way back. Their obvious disdain for PoC is/was apparent from the very beginning. Dare I say these are the racists of the Party on display for the whole country to view. I bet the trumpchumps are laughing it up.
