"Amazing archival video appears to show the arrest of a young Bernie Sanders as a student activist"

[Attorney in Texas]

link; excerpt:

On August 5, 1963, Jerry Temaner was a young filmmaker on location of the growing protest movement emerging in Chicago. On the South Side of the city, in a community called Englewood, black families were coming together to boycott the proposed "construction" of a new school on the corner of 73rd & Lowe. The plan, which sounds just as ridiculous today as it likely did 53 years ago, was to build the entire school out of a collection of mobile homes called Willis Wagons.

As expected, families in the community weren't having it and the protests on the proposed site where the mobile homes would be placed were fierce. Of course, nobody there had any idea that one of the young men in their midst, protesting the racism among schools and housing on the South Side, was a man who would one day run for President, Bernie Sanders.

As a student at the nearby University of Chicago, Sanders served as chapter president of the Congress for Racial Equality at the university. A Chicago Tribune press clipping from August of 1963 shows that during a protest, right there on the corner where the mobile homes were being placed, Bernie Sanders was charged with resisting arrest and taken to jail. This isn't conjecture or revisionist history. Bernie Sanders was a student activist and was arrested during this protest.

Now, it appears obscure archival footage filmed on that very day by Temaner, one of the co-founders of Kartemquin Films, a legendary documentary film company in Chicago, shows the arrest of a young Bernie Sanders.

2. wow! Way to go Bernie... thanks for standing up so long ago and continuing through to present times

[cui bono]

3. What a hooligan!!!

We can't give him the keys to the White House!!!

[Mike__M]

30. They're working on that ad right now (n/t)

[kgnu_fan]

4. He was there from the beginning....

[roguevalley]

5. when I think I can't love him more, he goes and gets

arrested. He looks just like my dad and his twin, my uncle david. This is the stuff they did too in Portland, Oregon in the 1930's and 40's. I love this man. Skinny, 'college kid clothes', the kind poor kids wore, incredible integrity and courage. I wonder if everyone can see him now?

EDIT: read down quickly under bernie's name and three others. It said the four were in 'positions of leadership' of the group. HA-HA!

SNAP!

[NJCher]

18. my thoughts, too

6. EEEK!! He's a troublemaker! A radical! Even the police don't like him!! K&R

[A Simple Game]

34. He may be one of them there "Super Predators" we have been reading about. n/t

[mhatrw]

7. U Could Get Arrested

[DirtyHippyBastard]

Thank for the thread.

[SoapBox]

9. Oh Mr. Capehart!?!?

We're all waiting!

[MynameisBlarney]

20. Mr. Capehart is not taking any calls at this time.

He will get back to you at his earliest possible convenience, thank you. *click*

[cui bono]

31. He was STILL going on about the photo yesterday!

What a loser.

.

[navarth]

39. 'what a loser'?

more like: what a dick.

[nadinbrzezinski]

48. Mrs Soapbox, wecome to the long and distinguished list of the ignore by Mr Capehart

snort

[JimDandy]

10. I'd want to compare the watch and glasses from the two images.

Would be amazing if this image was confirmed to be Sanders. The similarities in features are enough for me to want more research done. If Sanders was the only one arrested that day at that location, that would pretty much clinch this.

[Armstead]

11. For those too lazy to click...

12. Read on:

From the newspaper shown in the video:

"Miss Willie Whiting, assistant state's attorney, told the court that the four [ Lowe, Anderson, Sanders, & ? ] were in positions of leadership and engineered the demonstrations."

[HeartoftheMidwest]

13. I added the names of two of the others arrested for the demonstration.....

...Anderson and Lowe, but the names didn't show up in the above post. Name of the fourth person is unknown to me.

[HooptieWagon]

51. Hmmm, Bernie was one of only 4 arrested that day?

I saw the video earlier, thought it looked like Bernie, but not certain. But if he was one of 4 arrested then there's a pretty good likelihood it's him.

[abelenkpe]

15. Thank you! Nt

[Dustlawyer]

27. I couldnt open the link so thanks! I have been known to be lazy at times, but not on important

things like this!!! We need this political revolution for so many reasons! Hillary is the type of politician that Bernie is talking about when he says that the politicians in Washington are corrupt. She is the Zen master of the Quid Pro Quo, now she wants to believe that she takes the money but welshes on the promises she made to get the donations! I don't know which is worse?

[snort]

43. I could see his arm on the top of the wagon as he resisted.

Resisting arrest.

[abelenkpe]

16. K&R

[AzDar]

17. Go, Bernie GO!!

[Merryland]

19. Wow, just wow.

Just when you think you can't love him more, you see him getting arrested in a protest!

[Android3.14]

21. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Hillary.

And Mr. Lewis, I do believe you owe someone a deep sincere apology.

[DefenseLawyer]

22. Bernis Sanders is a criminal!

Resisting arrest? That is a slap in the face to the brave men and women in blue that serve and protect us all. Why does Bernie Sanders hate decent, law abiding Americans?

[zentrum]

23. Wonder if John Lewis...

…has anything to say about this incontrovertible evidence?

[Mendocino]

33. If he didn't see it

with his own eyes it didn't happen.

The other night I went to bed. The ground was bare. When I woke up, there was 2 inches of snow on the ground but it wasn't snowing at that time. Therefore it didn't snow overnight.

[zentrum]

50. I know!

Weathermen are always lying about this thing----snow!

[Dr. Strange]

47. He claims that it's Hillary and Bill being arrested.

[TIME TO PANIC]

24. K & R!

[CharlotteVale]

25. K&R

[JDPriestly]

26. I couldn't tell whether the video showed Bernie or someone else,

but the news report clearly stated that Bernie was arrested.

[Enthusiast]

28. Kicked and recommended!

[denbot]

29. Photoshop much!!!

That was actually Elvis Costello! It's all n the ears, check the friggin ears RIGHT NOW!!!

[IMG][/IMG]

[thereismore]

32. I now think it's Bernie, based on that freeze frame compared to the photo at the sit-in.

Bernie is a badass.

[lastone]

35. I personally want to see tweety broadcast

this and suck a fucking egg at the same time, perhaps while his fav candidate combs his orangutan hair...

[navarth]

40. Tweety will never pull the stick out of his ass

I'm done with him.

[lastone]

45. Yeah - I miss Randi

She never gave in to their press for access line of bullshit.

[delrem]

36. kick.

[vlakitti]

37. A quote from the article:

"It's sad, and a true state of our political climate, that any of this was ever called into question in the first place."

Amen!

[Mike__M]

38. Here's a series of captures

It sure looks like Bernie to me.

[img][/img]

[catnhatnh]

42. Is that a hoodie?

Because Hoodie Bernie is fucking awesome!!!

[lastone]

46. That is some nice work there - thank you!

Sure looks like a young Next President Of The United States Of America!

[Oilwellian]

49. Very nice!

This makes it even more convincing that it's Bernie.

I love this! Bernie in a hoodie, getting arrested for protesting against segregation. He is fearless!

[Vote2016]

53. looks like Bernie to me too

[navarth]

41. It's clearly Rappaport

just kidding.

[Mendocino]

52. I'm not Rappaport!

[nadinbrzezinski]

44. Looks like he was arrested at a corner too

Just kidding.

[bklyncowgirl]

54. Interesting, if verified, this could be big.

I supposed that most candidates would not want to have video of themselves being dragged into a paddy wagon but under the circumstances this can only help the campaign.

[drm604]

55. A dangerous radical communist!
