Did anybody see two protesters dragged out while Biden speaking?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the General Discussion forum).

At first glance, I thought they were going to shoot Biden, and I immediately thought of Bobby Kennedy.

There was a second one immediately after. I couldn't read the signs they were carrying. . .

And WHY ? And also why NOW ?

Ice cream ? Yoghurt ? Chocolate pudding ? Cream cheese ? I am not going to give up any of those things.

Is "Donnie Two Scoops" going to get protested too ?

I have about had it with people telling me what I can and can't eat. If someone wants to be a vegen, fine, just don't expect me to join in.

few weeks back. I though it was because he was from Vermont - think Ben and Jerry’s and cows

It sort of made sense then but with Biden now I would guess it’s to attract attention to their cause no matter which candidate is winning

I was pre-occupied reading DU (please forgive but you understand, of course ) and heard someone say that none of the candidates has Secret Service protection. IIRC they'd need to request it - not sure who would foot the bill, though.
