#Blacklivesmatter organizers disrupt O’Malley and Sanders to demand end to structural racism

[magical thyme]

178. what did they accomplish? did they get answers? no. Did they learn how O'Malley or Sanders plans to

address their issues? No. Did they learn whether O'Malley or Sanders even have a plan that has a chance to work? No.

All their screaming and chanting and cussing when O'Malley was trying to answer their question did not bring a single murdered POC back from the dead, nor did it do a single thing to prevent another cop from killing another POC.

O'Malley and then Sanders gave them an opportunity to voice their rage and gave them an opportunity to discuss what needs to be done to fix the problems.

And in return, all they did is make it impossible for O'Malley or Sanders to talk and answer their questions. And make certain that nobody got to learn where O'Malley and Sanders stand on the issues and how they intend to address them.

When people are seeking those positions, any time not spent learning how they are likely use that power is a lost opportunity for everybody, not just them.

Like I said, BLM did nothing to help their cause by their behavior. I was supporting them, although cringing when they started shouting mother fuck whatever, until they finally got to aske their question and started screaming and shouting over O'Malley after he was able to answer with all of 4 words. They lost me there, and for good. And nothing you or anybody else writes about my "whining" is going to change that. You just end up lumped in with them.

They'd be far better off taking their protests to people who are already in positions of power.
