(255 posts)But shutting a rally down and then expecting the rally attendees to be nice to you is more than a little strange, even if you keep insisting that you respect your elders.
I'm not defending that woman's actions at all but this gentleman comes across as a bit too sanctimonious for my liking. If people wanted to be home, they would have stayed home in the first place so being nice to them while telling them to go home doesn't quite cut it.
This man is a good man fighting for a good cause but I'm sure that he would have been none too happy if protesters shut down a Clinton or Sanders rally and then nicely told him to go home.
I think the best option would have been, as someone else on Democratic Underground has suggested, a large but silent protest outside the arena. In my opinion, this would have got the media's attention without getting the bad press.
