It was important I be @Netroots_Nation & to be a part of the #blacklivesmatter conversation. I’m not done listening: http://omly.us/1gKG1lE

"It was important that I be at Netroots Nation this weekend, and I am grateful I was a part of the important conversation about ‪#?blacklivesmatter‬—a conversation that must not end with this conference. I am already listening to and speaking with leaders from this movement, and I will continue to do so throughout my candidacy to ensure those voices and needs help shape my criminal justice reform package to make it as comprehensive and effective as possible. -O'M"

1. O'Malley is looking better and better

2. Yes, Skittles,

he does every day.

3. MO handled that situation the best

out of the two, and seems genuinely willing to listen. At least he didn't threaten to leave if the protestors didn't pipe down.

4. He certainly did handle it the best, and is STILL doing so.

Seen these interviews?

5. He's not bullshitting, he means what he says.

and he is doing what I expected and hoped for him to do as a candidate.

All that garbage I am seeing in GDP denigrating BLM, I am so very happy to see O'Malley willing to go forward and be willing to engage, work with and listen to a very important movement.

6. And it didn't take him 3 days,

staff work, and 'benefit' of hearing others' responses prior.

He may be too good, esp for 'majority' DUers, the 'herd.'

7. Plus 1000!
