Hillary Supporter Harrasses protesters...uses obscene gestures!

The Outrage!(starts at 6:13)

5:25 is another great moment. I guess the African American woman crying and the Latino man in a wheelchair don't have the right to be heard.

3. I wouldn't say that.

Its a protest. Emotions run high and both the protesters and people being protested can get a little overzealous. I'm just trying to draw attention to the ridiculousness of the Hillary people. Bad language was used! There was a disabled woman there! Children! Faux Outrage!

People have valid complaints about Hillary, rather than trying to silence dissent, they should try some introspection.

2. Yeah, that's definitely going to win superdelegates.

They've got every right to protest but this is seriously looking desperate. And yeah, the guy's an idiot that engaged with them. There are people bussed from around the country that scream my name every Halloween through bullhorns. I do not give them the time of day and this guy is a moron for doing so. But then again, water does find its own level.

15. Wait a minute people are bussed from across the country every Halloween to scream your name?

Now that sounds like an interesting story. Who are you and why would people be bussed across the nation to scream at you on Halloween?

This sounds like something out of a bad horror movie.

They aren't bussed to scream my name but I sorta rank high enough in their rogue's gallery of Satan's minions that somehow I warrant an awful lot of screaming.

Thank god I'm only in Salem for a week this year. I can keep the crazy to a minimum.

As for who I am, I own Witchcraft shops in Massachusetts and Louisiana. I was on a paranormal show a few years back that put my name into the minds of these religious crazies.

My point in even bringing that up is ... that kind of protest doesn't work. It's not effective. These religious zealots that come by the hundreds to Salem every Halloween are lucky if they get one random heroin addict to scream out, "I found Jesus!" That kind of protest doesn't actually convert souls. Then again, I will give them more credit than the Hillary protesters. I believe that their leaders know full well that this type of protest doesn't work and they are hoping for people to have altercations with them so that the police step in, arrest the protesters and, voila, first amendment lawsuit and massive fund-raising emails to all the Churches to raise money for the cause. Their protests are a fundraiser. I can't for the life of me understand what the protesters swearing with children present are trying to accomplish. From a marketing and public relations perspective, I don't think they're helping their cause.

And yes, my life can sometimes be like something out of a bad horror movie. :-D

The outrage from the Hillary folks about protesting has been comical. Somehow I doubt your post will spark the same outrage from them.

7. Will I be glad when the primary is over. "Check out what this Hillary/Bernie supporter did!"

"They are all alike!" Vote for my candidate.

If I could post at freeperville, I would just copy and paste from GD-P.

Go after them. Then they are going to wish they had not cried wolf so much during the primary. We have seen what the "sexist" bullshit they used all time has gotten them. Trump actually used a sexist comment on Hillary and media largely ignored it except to talk about both sides talking about what Trump said.

Could he be hiding here? Perhaps in the Hillary forum?
