Matching Attire to Display Unity (self.BernTheConvention)
submitted 3 hours ago by SeeDubEl

Does anyone think this would be feasible? I ordered a pack of 25 American Flag bandanas (you will want a bandana to filter the tear gas), and plan on wearing all black. Thousands of people dressed as such would help send a powerful graphic image in my opinion. Thoughts?

1. Rioting eh? "Matching attire to display unity"

Oh, intimidating. I heard everyone's going to bring their own chairs too.

9. (you will want a bandana to filter the tear gas)

Guess you missed this part

[HerbChestnut]

12. 2 Things

1. Police have been known to do that at large protests
2. That is 1 person in a subreddit of thousands

Look at my other response further down the thread.

13. Defense against the possiblity of tear gas from LEO. And? How is that rioting, not planning defense

against possible police brutality. Good lord. Have you never demonstrated or seen photos of demonstrations?

If not, things to bring when you intend to demonstrate peacefully, but may face police brutality anyway have been all over the internet for years. Bandana and goggles are Demonstrating 101.

20. Did you even watch/read about the police brutality that occurred during the OWS protests?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

33. I was a member of Occupy SF --

We were trained on how to protect ourselves against tear gas. Since we were engaged in non-violent civil disobedience, we knew there was the possibility the police might respond to us with tear gas. We never had to use our training, but it was good to be prepared.

25. someone complained about me using "lol" all the time. i'm lost now n/t.

2. Brock and company propaganda

[merrily]

15. I don't care where the OP got that, he or she posted it and is responsible for it, in all its

false suckitude.

[notadmblnd]

21. of course it is lies. The HRC campaign said they were going to do this

why would any expect different I dont know?

32. Here's more....

Civil Disobedience at the Convention (self.BernTheConvention)
submitted 23 hours ago by wamj

Idea for the convention protest, form a ring around the convention center, getting in the way of incoming and outgoing traffic, ignoring areas with high fences and what have you. This should start once the delegates have arrived, or while they are arriving, making it especially difficult for super delegates to enter. Also, it might be an idea to eat at restaurants in the immediate area so as to inconvenience said super delegates even more. Lastly, everyone that is planning on attending should make sure be to way over prepared, plenty of water, food, and other supplies. Even if you don't think you will need it, somebody else might.

34. A demonstration, maybe civil disobedience as advocated by many giants in history, but still nothing

about a headline.

When can we look forward to an apology for your inflammatory, false headline and an edit, or do you plan to just keep posting still more stuff that does not support it?

BTW, have you noticed Reply 8?

3. Marching = "rioting?"

Another McCarthyite syllogism, like "liberal = Commie," no?

[MoonRiver]

19. No it hasn't.

There have always been ruffians and thugs. People who choose violence rather than peaceful discourse to get their point across. This is what we're dealing with here, not the demise of democracy.

[leftynyc]

30. Are you advocating

violence in this case?

[G_j]

5. would you like a dictionary?

[Ferd Berfel]

6. This is the Bullshit swiftboating that will continue up to the convention

to try an keep Bernie Supporters out.

SO why did Boxer do everything she could to enrage people ?

THe CLinton crowd is frightened to death of the California Primary and having their right wing agenda shifted LEFT at the COnvention by Bernie and his supporters - THe Corporate Media continue to escalate this shit too.

[Kelvin Mace]

7. Will this be like the rioting in Nevada that there is no video of

and no one has filed and criminals charges or been arrested (except for that HRC supporting actor who attacked a Sanders' supporter)?

[HerbChestnut]

8. Let's look at some other thread titles from that subreddit...

"Let Peace Ring"
"Some suggestions on attire"
"Fine with sleeping in my car. Where is safe parking in Philly?"
"Civil Disobedience at the Convention"
"Update: Bernie Sanders Temporary Tattoos for the March"

Yeah, sounds like a riot alright...

Lamest. Riot. Ever.

[B2G]

14. Bandanas and tattoos and cars! Oh my!

[JimDandy]

10. Take responsibility for your own team's corruption at the NV Convention

and then work to not subvert democracy again and I bet nobody would have a reason to even talk about rioting (which this is NOT).

[merrily]

11. Kindly quote the specific language you feel is planning a riot. Sounds like standard defensive gear

when police or militia brutality is anticipated. And, yes, peaceful demonstrations have been met with brutality.

[demmiblue]

23. Yep, there are countless examples just from OWS protests alone.

I posted two up above.

[merrily]

28. Every movement since the Sixties. I can believe people are so brand new.

[Tarc]

16. Remember, Remember, the 25th of...er...July

Doesn't quite roll off the tongue, there.

[azurnoir]

17. your obsession with colors and bandannas reminds of the early days of the Clinton crime bill

where we saw a similar obsession with colors and bandannas from those who to target certain people

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Eeek!!

[Skwmom]

24. That is someone trying to mislead people. n/t

[RufusTFirefly]

26. Thanks workinclasszero! You are my most trusted news source!

... for David Brock talking points.

[hobbit709]

27. you mean like this?

[Smarmie Doofus]

29. Judge Hoffman.... is that you? n/t
