Black Lives Matter protesters try to disrupt Hillary Clinton event. (Hillary Group)
Five demonstrators with the Black Lives Matter movement who had planned to disrupt Hillary Clinton’s campaign event here were barred from entering after they arrived too late to make it past the Secret Service screening....
Activists told The New Republic that they had planned to interrupt Clinton’s event and ask her about her drug platform, and campaign staffers inside the room were aware of those intentions due to the magazine’s publication.
Because the former secretary of state and first lady has Secret Service protection, her events are typically sealed once she enters the building — and the group of activists apparently did not make it to the event by that time. They were standing under a tent outside the school doors as the event began.
Clinton has not been shy about saying “black lives matter” in recent months, but she is the only prominent Democratic presidential candidate whose events have so far been free from disruption from people associated with the movement. Most recently, protesters prevented Bernie Sanders from speaking during a rally in Seattle on Saturday.

That messes up DU's favorite conspiracy theory.
... it has only fueled their fire according to multiple posts in another thread. I actually hate to say this, but I think there are more than a few of Bernie's supporters that have completely gone down the rabbit hole.
It's getting pretty weird.
