Bernie Sanders: call on your supporters to stop launching small children from trebuchets

https://twitter.com/leyawn/status/729544191873851392

Dear Senator Sanders,

At a recent Hillary Clinton rally, a Bernie Sanders protestor, not only disrupted the event, but began harassing a young girl with a Hillary Clinton sign. In a violent rage, the protestor placed the small child into a 14th century trebuchet, and launched her over the ramparts of a castle wall. We are writing this petition to ask you to call on your supporters to stop using children as medieval siege weaponry. We are including the tweet about this incidence as evidence in the hopes that you can put an end to this despicable practice.

Thank you,

Leon

I should pack the combat gear...I hear these people surround the press (they actually did at the convention center) and will sacrifice us all. God help me. Will report from that hostile ground.

On a quite serious note we are aware we will likely cover a riot next week, due to Trump in town

Although Bernie seems to have much support from sailors, there may be many of the loud mouthed variety there to disrupt. When in home port National City was everyone's favorite stomping grounds back in the day, so be careful!

You've been there too? Is the Westerner still there? Jacks Alley? Still a bit of local talent at a few of the watering holes? Surely the patronage would never change.

There's hardly anything more fun than dropping 5 bucks into the juke box at a redneck bar and playing club mixes! The funniest part of it is that during the whole time the much hated music is playing, everyone is bustling about, on their feet, chatting it up, and complaining about how bad it is; when the music stops they all settle back onto their asses and silence fills the room. Oops, another fiver on hip-hop stirs 'em up again.

Such shenanigans has been made even easier with these new jukes you can program from your phone. Nobody ever suspects you're the culprit!

When I was there they were finishing up with putting the trolley in! One of my favorite photos was having a friend pose as if running down the tracks (daylight shot) then a double exposure time lapse of the trolley at night, with a flash to stop it just feet from where he first stood. He sent it home to Iowa - he got lots of mail for a few weeks after that. hehe, those were crazy days!

Senator Sanders are you denying that you launched crying babies from a 14th century trebuchet? Yes or no Senator . . .

I convinced 666 Sanders supporters to switch and vote for Hillary by offering them pie instead of babies!



(Of course I didn't have any pie... but they didn't even notice.)
