I'm just glad that some folks actually GET IT! This is not about Bernie Sanders, and the cult of personality surrounding him. It really is about Black Lives, and the increasing carelessness with which they're treated in this country.

I remember the ones now whining about the "disrespect" shown to their cult hero, whenever it was the President and First Lady, they cheered. It was the heckler's First Amendment rights then, but coming from BLM, it's disrespect? Hypocrite much?
