Bernie Sanders: call on your supporters to stop launching small children from trebuchets



Dear Senator Sanders,

At a recent Hillary Clinton rally, a Bernie Sanders protestor, not only disrupted the event, but began harassing a young girl with a Hillary Clinton sign. In a violent rage, the protestor placed the small child into a 14th century trebuchet, and launched her over the ramparts of a castle wall. We are writing this petition to ask you to call on your supporters to stop using children as medieval siege weaponry. We are including the tweet about this incidence as evidence in the hopes that you can put an end to this despicable practice.

Thank you,
Leon

1. They can have my trebuchet when they take it from my cold dead six-man loading crew!

I observe the right to bear long-armed siege engines!

This scandal continued in Afghanistan! TIME Magazine had a cover "The Boys of Afghanistan", the sex ring for our military elite.


Now, Obama has just given DynCorp another contract! Is this the best American can do? DynCorp? Halliburton? Blackwater-XE?

Talk about 'hurting kids', you Hillary supporters have zero sense of history. READ THE LINK WHILE BILL WAS OUR PRESIDENT!

Unless you don't have saltpeter, which is a real bummer.

10. At least they weren't launching the kids directly into the side of a building.

I thought the fragmentation grenades that were being thrown at the Nevada convention were a little over-the-top, though.

I assign colors to campaigns and then play out medieval fantasies of marshaling a thousand, processor destroying knights to trample across the Asian castle that is the Nevada convention.

You know, like ya do.

14. Hillary Surrogate Afraid for Her Life

I was afraid for my life when they booed me for objecting to this violent behavior. The way they booed me you would have thought that I had thrown fuel on the fire in encouraging this savage band of supporters.
