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

(154,021 posts)I should pack the combat gear...I hear these people surround the press (they actually did at the convention center) and will sacrifice us all. God help me. Will report from that hostile ground.
On a quite serious note we are aware we will likely cover a riot next week, due to Trump in town

(2,101 posts)There's hardly anything more fun than dropping 5 bucks into the juke box at a redneck bar and playing club mixes! The funniest part of it is that during the whole time the much hated music is playing, everyone is bustling about, on their feet, chatting it up, and complaining about how bad it is; when the music stops they all settle back onto their asses and silence fills the room. Oops, another fiver on hip-hop stirs 'em up again.

(2,101 posts)When I was there they were finishing up with putting the trolley in! One of my favorite photos was having a friend pose as if running down the tracks (daylight shot) then a double exposure time lapse of the trolley at night, with a flash to stop it just feet from where he first stood. He sent it home to Iowa - he got lots of mail for a few weeks after that. hehe, those were crazy days!

(Of course I didn't have any pie... but they didn't even notice.)
