Sped-up video of the Bernie Sanders march from beginning to end. This was just Philly, and there were LOTS of people. Sure didn't see this on any of the MSM stations.

What I saw was fairly restrained and subdued. Felt some tension, but that may just have been me not being around that situation ever really. Hung around there for about 10 minutes and to be honest, between numerous people on megaphones and various chants, I couldn't really understand what people were saying.muskydan said:Hey Cliffy, so it appears you got the opportunity to be around some of the Black Lives Matter protesters. What did you think? Your opinion will hold water to me since you were exposed.
be honest....
Police did a good job of just being there and not adding any unnecessary anxiety or tension to the situation.
Regarding BLM. I didn't really see anything that would give me pause. It did feel tense and they are angry, but most of the signs I saw were largely fair. "schools not prisons"...things like that. (Edit: looking back at pictures, maybe a couple slightly more radical, but nothing insane). Not to say there weren't significantly worse ones, I just didn't see it. It was not at all like the protests that have escalated around the country, at least it seemed to me. In all transparency, I do sympathize and agree with the premise of the movement but I am not a huge fan of much of the execution.
The Mumia fucks come out for any occasion. Fuck them.
Outside of black lives matter, the protests are VERY hippie and yeah, not the best smelling group of folks in the world, especially in 100 degrees.
That old Gandalf looking dude with the rubber boot on his head facing off with the cops that I posted yesterday is my favorite scene so far.
I also realized that these are people that didn't vote for Obama and Hillary won't get/doesn't need them. She was never getting them. This is the Occupy crew. I am significantly right of these folks. There are PLENTY of Bernie folks she'll get, but these people were never an option.
All in all, I think everyone has largely handled themselves well so far. Protesters have protested peacefully and said what they want to say. I believe only 4 people have been arrested so far for jumping barriers down at the convention.
Social media is the absolute worst. A lot of pictures of people taunting cops from the Occupy protests over the past few years are being floated as recent and from Philly. Shameful.
I do know of one cop car getting tagged pretty bad (in my friends district) but all in all, it seems like everyone has been pretty respectful.
The flag burning from Bernie protesters is disgraceful
Half way there. Hopefully it doesn't escalate over the next 36 hours.

Not a big fast food guy. Too much good food in this city for that. Though I do enjoy a road trip for a fast food stop.PJPOWER said:

If I could eat anything without worrying about health consequences, a triple bacon-ator would be at the top of the list.Cliffy6745 said:

haha..I believe I read once that the bacon-ator is the least healthy fast food sandwich there is. That is quite an accomplishment. See my problem is that I just like the spicy chicken so damn much and I don't get fast food enough that when I am there I want to try something else, but the spicy chicken is just staring me in the damn face.mrussel1 said:

59 citations so far. I believe 4-6 arrests, all for jumping barriers.0

Because the main speakers hadn't started yet. Tonight is Kaine, Biden and Obama... I'm guessing it will be quite full. I mean not Baio, Tyson, random screamer-full, but pretty full nonetheless.PJPOWER said:
