Chair Throwing.

[jalan48]

I've read in several mainstream publications that "chair throwing" by Bernie Sanders supporters occurred at the Nevada Democratic Convention. Has anyone seen any video evidence to support this? I haven't seen anything myself. Thanks.

1. I have seen video of everything else there except that.

They may be reflecting back in 2008 where some HRC supporters threw chairs.

I am going to remove the comment about "some HRC supporters threw chairs.", I read it a few days ago I think, but the search engines only have about the Nevada thing and the basketball coach now.

So no linky no story.

4. Thanks-it's seems to be all over the news.

14. A room full of engaged people at an important event, and

no one took cell phone photos and video coverage of the chair throwing 'violence' that supposedly happened. Nu uh.
The phone recordings of threat that the media has played are inexcusable but can't definitely be attributed to Sanders supporters.

5. Clinton supporters throwing chairs in '08?

Of course, her supporters are hostile angry people. Would love to find that video.

9. I can not find a link for it anymore. Search engines swamped with the Nevada thing.

So by my rules, no link - no story or even truth maybe.

16. I did not see PUMAS throwing chairs. They did snarl a lot and some

had their claws out. But none of them picked up any chairs. Even when we were cleaning up and putting things away. They never picked up anything.

2. There is none.

There's a still picture of a chair being held in the air. There's video of that same chair being placed back down. No throwing of chairs. No violence. If there was video MSM would be looping it. Thousands of phones there, no recorded violence.

3. Urban Myth? Media Myth?

Nope, haven't seen any such video. It must be a myth because surely there would be all kinds of videos posted here if it actually happened. And surely the media would be running it non stop if they had one so they would have proof of their story.

6. No video so far

Most likely cause it never happened and those who claim it did are lying scumbags.

7. The "journalist" who reported it wasn't actually there.

So far the only video is of a man picking up a chair and then putting it down.

8. nothing thrown, it is deflection for the rules changing railroading that went on

Here is video of a man lifting a chair then handing it off and being hugged. That seems to be the extent of what really happened:

For better perspective on the events of that day:

10. Thanks-I'm seeing articles that speak of chair throwing, death threats etc.

It appears to have taken on a life of it's own. A massive disinformation campaign. I know disinformation has been going on for awhile but this case seems really over-the-top to me.

Thanks everyone for responding.

11. Even If A Chair Was Thrown - How Would We Know Which Supporter Did It - HRC Or Sanders

eom

12. The whole fucking story was made up, but the M$M will not report that...

You haven't seen any video evidence because there isn't any. The crap shown on the Maddow show was footage from a wrestling match or something, not from the convention.

15. I've been asking myself this:

In a room with police present, and a lot of video coverage, we saw NO arrests, NO injuries, and NO property damage, so what exactly was the "violence"?

It was noise - just noise, nothing more.

The media outlets repeating the lies ought to be ashamed of themselves.
