Klobuchar cancels campaign event after protesters occupy stage

Of course, her white supporters tried to drown them out. This is what we mean by white privilege. A black boy wrongfully gets life in prison and it's ignored, gets treated like a joke. And black people are looked at as 'troublemakers' for properly demanding justice. Little has changed.

Amy should've dropped out.

What does that have to do with her campaign event though?

C'mon Amy, I would flip my vote to you in a second if you would just beat the living shit out of them with a stapler, a bider book and a comb.

The fact that democrats cater to these assholes says it all.

And to think the black media has spent the past year ambushing the gay guy instead of fighting for Myron's freedom.

The family members of Myon, a black boy who was wrongfully convicted and spent years in prison, and Civil Rights activists are "assholes" to you? Fuck you straight to hell racist.

They've been hounding on both. Where have you been?

by Anonymousreply 9March 2, 2020 12:46 PM

r9, They;ve been hounding Amy for about two weeks. They've been ambushing Pete for the past year. Not for sending an innocent black teen to jail but for firing a police chief that was unlawfully spying on his officers.

There’s absolutely no evidence that he is “innocent”.

Klobuchar said they were reopening his case to investigate to see if he was unjustly prosecuted. But the guy was found guilty of shooting an 11 yr. old girl, an African American girl, who was sitting at the table in her house, doing her homework. I'm fucking sick of some of the people who use the Black Lives MAtter organization as a front to disrupt and divide people. At the very least they're misguided and they are obviously doing the dirty work for someone else. I look at who get chosen for these very selective demonstrations and heckling, and the last time it was Biden for some bullshit. Never see Bernie heckled, or anyone Trump or Putin favor heckled. I'm old enough to remember the Republican dirty tricks when Nixon was running, and disrupting Democratic candidates was part of the strategy. I'm not a Klobuchar fan, I was supporting Pete, but this sucks.

Why do you have a problem with the black man who, morally sound, sought to expose the white supremacy in the police ranks, but you have no problem with the white supremacist police who are still in power?

r14, Nope. Being paranoid about racisim is not a good reason to wiretap people. And I'm not convinced that is why he did it in the first place.

The Intercept is a Bernie site.

Maybe for once the BLM types could protest and disrupt Republican/conservative events? Just a thought.

r14, My problem is with the hypocritical and homophobic black media. They're a big part of why I'm supporting Bernie and not Biden.

Black media gave her a pass for way too long!

by Anonymousreply 18March 2, 2020 1:13 PM

Amy only needs to stay in to win MN on Tuesday and slow Bernie down further. That's part of what the protests are about - getting more voters against Klobuchar and for Sanders.

by Anonymousreply 19March 2, 2020 1:25 PM

R16 funny you noticed? This is the stuff Bernie's people do. And Bernie's people are no friends of the Democrats.

Here are some actual facts about the case from Hennepin County Attorney’s office.

The second time he was convicted, (yes he was convicted twice)...Klobuchar has already left her position in the office and had no involvement in the case.

[quote] Never see Bernie heckled

To be fair, Bernie was rather infamously heckled and pushed off the stage by two female BLM activists back in 2016. But no, it has not happened since to my knowledge.

It sounds like the right person was convicted of murdering that little girl, even if she was not the intended target.

You completely ignored AP NEWS's long review of the case, which determined it was bullshit, and went to the one and only source that confirms your bias against an innocent black boy: the alcoholic attorney who sentenced him after Klobuchar. Ha! Racists are so predictable.

R14, white supremacy has nothing to do with it. So that’s the excuse they’re giving now?

What happened was, after Pete was elected, he interviewed some people for the police chief’s job, which new mayors sometimes do. The people he interviewed were white police officers who applied from within the department.

When one of these officers came out of the interview, the black police chief found out about the interview and called him a “traitor” for applying for his job. He found out who applied. He then decided to bug the phones of the individuals who applied for his job, to see if he could find out some dirt about them so he could fire them out of revenge. The FBI then found out their phones were being bugged and told Pete. My guess is someone that knew about it reported the police chief. Pete did not know until the FBI told him. At that point he had to do something, so he tried to fire the police chief, but there was such an outcry in the community that he ended up demoting him. Contrary to what you have heard, the police chief was never “fired,” he was demoted. He continued to serve another five years and eventually retired with his pension. That’s not what fired means.

When the police chief was caught, he said the tapes proved the white officers were racist. The judge sealed the tapes and no one has ever heard them. The white officers sued the police chief for saying they made racist comments. They say they didn’t, but no one knows at this time. They say the police chief was just trying to save himself by saying that about them.

This has been blown up by the black community to include a lot of false details that never happened and a lot of black people have heard a completely false, exaggerated story.

Bernie was booed several times by black people last year . You people chose to ignore it because you sought out to make Pete the victim.

“Alcoholic attorneys” don’t sentence convicted criminals. Judges do.

Fuck you. Bernie and his people have a lonnnng history of being disruptive, abusive, always playing thevictim, and even stalking people who challenge Bernie.

I remember this forum saying nasty shit about those black women who stole Bernie's mi a few ago. Just admit you're racists who don't like whatever black people do. They can't so anything right to you.
