109. Reference your interpretation.

The group, Run the Jewels, refers to the hand gesture as a fist and gun.

Since that is the performer in the picture, and the gestures come from their album, there is little but wishful thinking or purposeful misdirection in your chastising the poster for his reference to a gun gesture.

Are you unaware of the term "run the jewels" and the context for the album cover that is being copied in the photo op.

I don't care if Bernie wants to try to up his street cred by mimicking the album cover. I care about his voting and financial supporters. But to say that he was just saying "that's my man" is to be oblivious (on purpose or not) to the album and the artist involved.
