So...what WAS the deal with the folks who rushed the stage on Monday?

[Ken Burch]

Anybody know what their issue was?

Were they mad at Bernie or just looking for a way to grab some spotlight?

If there are links on DU that have info, please just post those here. Thanks.

3. Well said.

Animal Rights is a good cause, but one that defaulted (lazy?) to sloppy methodology. Could have
made a good connection with the campaign without all the adversarial drama.

2. Bernie

Like Cenk alluded to, they picked the wrong candidate to stage a protest for animal rights.

Bernie is one of the if not the strongest major candidate animal rights supporter in the history of the country.

4. Maybe they took it literally

when somebody said he was against sacred cows and golden calves.

5. I don't know if its related and I think it wasn't

But I thought it odd it was almost the same day
that Hillary got that so called environmental endorsement from that so called environmental organization's bosses and not their members

See Daniel Segretti and an Esquire article on him and political ratfucking.

But Like I said I don't think it was related

6. lol

A "let's protest Bernie for animal rights" is so laughable to any one with a pulse it is nearly insane.

It would literally be like a bunch of "occupy" protesters trying to disrupt a Bernie rally.

7. It's a group that has disrupted other Bernie events (they were escorted out then) ...

Among other things they are against the Vermont dairy industry. This time they escalated their attacks by having more members present aiming to rush the stage at the same time. I have posted the LIVE-streamers video, but there are more on youtube taken from different angles by rally goers.

8. Ironically, these folks probably didn't do a damn thing to help Kucinich when he was running

And Dennis The K. was their DREAM candidate.
