they had no knowledge that this was going to happen. I guess local groups do their own thing. It does smell fishy though. How else would someone try to stop Bernie having 12,000 crowds. However this will increase his crowds numbers.

BLM has apologized for those 3 Rosa Luxemburg Aug 2015 #47

The apology had been "rescinded" Hydra Aug 2015 #55
