A bit on the nose having a bunch of white people yelling black lives matter to a black guy.

Yeah they heckeled Warren too, it sounded like maybe three people and eventually they shut up, probably because everyone around them were ready to deck 'em

Most all other outlets I’ve checked are heralding this as a “transformative” type of speech —

Likening it to BHO’s 2004 convention speech — And it must have been special… because it’s drawn the slime from out of his hiding place —

He addressed it in an improvized comment about the lives of 20-something african american protestors being as important - and then it was cut off by an imbecile shouting at him.

Some of these brats have me really wondering whether raising a generation where no one is ever spanked and everyone gets a trophy was a good idea.

Left wing wackos are just as annoying as right wing wackos. Bernie Bros have been super obnoxious and uncivil throughout this campaign

Sadly, (because Social “Scientists” decided to lump people born between 1980-2000 as the same age cohort) Speaking as part of that generation…

I was more than willing to give people time to deal with their grief, but good grief, this is ridiculous. They’re heckling everyone. Even Bernie. They would rather burn the house down because they lost. We should be putting our energies on defeating a republican candidate who is the most craven, obnoxious demagogue that has ever been nominated in the history of this country. Pick your battles folks, or we’ll have a repeat of the 2000 election.

OMFG. Well, free speech is a great thing. It exposes poorly thought out ideas to ridicule. It all comes out in the open.

Just give the hecklers what they want and they will behave.

Near as I can tell, what they want is for Bernie to decapitate Hilary on stage, hold her head up, and lead all the delegates in a moving round of “Give Peace a Chance.”

Would that be so hard?

Ha… Trump must have peed his pants while tweeting that piece of crap. How predictable. That was a powerful ass-kicking speech by Cory, though. So yeah, Trump is right to be scared.

Hopefully those hecklers will be escorted out quickly tomorrow. They were disgusting and embarrassing.
