45. The whole riot was disgusting...

Fri Jun 3, 2016, 05:44 PM

Jun 2016

... and the events a bit dubious if you ask me. You can't convince me that those young attackers were Bernie supporters. Bernie supporters do NOT act like that. And why did the police not intervene? If those were Bernie supporters, I can tell you right now those policemen would have been using some billy clubs and pepper spray and their arses would have been arrested pronto. Does anyone know if the police 4ever stepped in and arrested anyone? does anyone know if anyone was hurt seriously?

It was a made-up for camera set up riot. As a matter of fact, many of the scenes looked like it might be kids on spring break at Fort Lauderdale. They looked like they were having a great time. The young lady in this OP Photo was actually smiling at the beginning of the whole thing. Did anyone see that? Then when they kept egging her, it wasn't fun anymore. It was degrading and mean and then they took this photo of her. She wasn't smiling anymore.

That's what I saw, anyway. They should have rounded up the assholes and taken them in, everyone of them, I don't care who they were or why they came out to attack Trump supporters.
