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

[Fawke Em]

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.

This isn't just the random happenstance of a guy who looks eerily similar to Sanders being arrested in some random place that had nothing to do with his proven activism. This is a young man, resisting arrest, on the day Bernie was arrested, where he was arrested, who looks just like every other image we have of Bernie from the time.

1. Here's a screen shot from the video.

Look at the mouth... holds it like Bernie.

2. Kicked and recommended. n/t

[dchill]

3. Arrested and charged with resisting arrest.

Those were the days.

[malthaussen]

11. Oh, you mean today?

S.O.P. to throw in a resisting charge, even when the arrestee is handcuffed and being tasered. Wriggling is resisting.

4. Don't ask TIME's Capehart.

Great footage. Notice how police use force -- the frog march -- against a non-violent person -- possibly Bernie or whomever it is.

Anyone remember banksters, torturers or the other sundry war criminals getting such treatment?

[tk2kewl]

5. ...and charge with resisting arrest

standard trumping up of charges for people the cops do not like

[jham123]

6. That's Bruce Rappaport

8. ...

[jham123]

9. lol...

[Fawke Em]

19. !

(Ironically, this was the first Broadway play I ever saw)

[pacalo]

7. It does look like Bernie Sanders.

[dorkzilla]

10. It's totally Bernie, no doubt about it

Compare it to any of the other pictures of Bernie at that time. It's him alright.

[LeFleur1]

13. Actually

It's me in drag.

[dorkzilla]

14. So if you do it really fast

its drag racing?

[Fawke Em]

17. He holds his mouth a certain way - and this young man is doing that.

I don't really know how else to explain what I mean, other than to say that the man not only looks like a young Bernie, but has his mannerisms.

I don't think the campaign has commented on this, yet, but give the newspaper clipping regarding the arrest location matches with the footage information is another positive.

[dorkzilla]

20. It's totally Bernie

All the photos of him at that point look just like the screen shot and you're correct he has Bernie's mannerisms.

[roguevalley]

21. there is an accompanying newspaper piece naming those arrested and saying they were leading it. It

is him. Even the newspapers say so. End of controversy over who it is.

[dorkzilla]

22. Never was a controversy as far as I was concerned

The whole fake controversy stinks to high heaven. Capehart is a moron for not doing his homework and it will haunt him professionally. Good.

[magical thyme]

23. Capehart is still getting tons of flak on twitter.

He blocked a bunch from his twitter account, but I learned a short time ago there is a workaround. So he's taking a beating again.

He still doesn't get why he needs to fully retract and why he needs to disclose his connections to Hillary, which are both direct and through his partner.

A direct comparison of the photo in question with a known photo of Rappaport shows they look very much alike (explaining why the widow thinks it's Rappaport) BUT there are distinct details in which they differ. The size and shape of their earlobes are distinctly different. The slant of forehead and nose in profile are distinctly different. Sideburns are different. Detailing on their glasses is different.

The widow claimed it was because Rappaport holds his neck and head forward. Well, have they ever even looked at Bernie, lol?

[Fawke Em]

26. Then you and I were Tweeting back and forth

and we didn't know it!

The person who told you the work around also included me in that Tweet.

[magical thyme]

29. that's funny!

[malthaussen]

12. Cool video.

Could be Sanders, but even if it is Joe Blow, a helluva piece of footage.

-- Mal

[TIME TO PANIC]

15. It is Bernie Sanders.

[Plucketeer]

16. I think it IS Bernie

Admittedly - for those of other interests - he's not wearing a placard that says: I'M BERNIE SANDERS So there's certainly room for doubt!

[Fawke Em]

18. Expect someone who was standing by to come forward 40 years

later to challenge it for some, as yet, unknown reason.

[SwampG8r]

24. Kicked

[ALBliberal]

25. It's funny. I really think it's him. The photos were proven to be him as well.

But the interesting thing is .... We don't here from Bernie on these matters. Why? It would require him saying the words... I and yes me me me .. that is just not his nature. He's not one to boast or talk himself up when he was (just) following his heart and moral code. Especially in a time that was so hard and difficult for the American people.

Isn't there some way to digitally prove its him...by his watch or facial features? I don't need proof but I think it would be an interesting process.

[Fawke Em]

27. Well, the FBI uses facial recognition.

But they're a bit too busy looking into Clinton's private email server and the Clinton Foundation's "pay to play" for arms to fool with this.

[ALBliberal]

28. True! But Facebook uses some facial recognition software as we all know.... who knows someone might

see this as a challenge!
It seems that maybe ten or more years ago this wouldn't even be up for debate... the facts are very supportive that this is Bernie. Somewhere in all this technology we use I wonder if we have lost an element of trust in letting facts speak for themselves.
