    I feel like I have to hop on the bike and check this out this evening...



    Do note that this camping is not permitted but the police are letting it go to not cause any unnecessary issues. No camping permits were issued within the city limits.
    It's like Telluride Town Park minus the cool!

    Minus a whole lot of cool and probably a lot more.

    Quit making excuses. Half the place was empty and it was not due to being between speakers. Those who walked out didn't come back, they continued protesting outside the convention. The Dem party will not unite at this point unless something big happens (I don't know, a personal apology from HRC herself and firing of her good friend DWS?)What a sham.

    99.99% of the protesters outside were never in the convention. They are not delegates or donors and never had access.

    They came from Center City through a variety of marches.

    Yes, there were lots of protests. No, the convention was not empty.

    Good god, dude.
    Good God yourself, dude. You didn't listen to me last night and you're still not listening or rather you just listening to the television. ( because they tell me the truth!)

    What happened last night absolutely did happen regardless of what you want to think. I saw it all with my own eyes on social networks, personal videos, personal commentary, YouTube Twitter, etc. it is everywhere. whether you want to believe it or not.

    I'll tell you one thing who's united. It's Bernie delegates. They organized that walk out and they organize to be silent and They organize those protests, not all of them because of the BLM protest but many of them. Just look the other way because you're just going to keep doing it, deny reality.
    I did listen to you. I watched the video. It was posted before 8 PM.

    I acknowledged there was a walk out. There were a couple hundred or less people who staged a sit in in one of the media tents. But also, the arena was full in prime time when Clinton was speaking. It's just a simple fact.

    I am very aware of the protests. I am not listening to the TV and am in fact listening to what I have seen in the city, what the police department is saying and what local reporters with absolutely no skin in the game are saying.

    Yes, protests happened. Almost all of those people, like I said, are only here to protest and not attend the actual convention. So while there was certainly some sort of walk out, the convention was full later on.

    I very much understand what is happening in this city right now.
    Yet you had no clue last night and wiuldnt believe it. The Bernie delegates left immediately after the vote and didn't go back to the arena, the stayed outside for silent rallies and protests.

    If you want to believe that that arena was full of delegates for Bill's speech, you are wrong. They didn't go back, and like the guy mentioned in that video, Clinton delegates were seated down in front of him and Bernie delegates were seated behind, which is where all the empty seats were. The camera panned to the seats closest to Bill most of the time. You really think they're going to pan a Half empty arena or perhaps fill that video space with full images? You weren't there yet you know for sure Bernie delegates came back to fill it for Slick Willy? Uh huh.

    Otherwise thanks for the commentary.

    I don't know man. Whatever you want to think. I'm done arguing about empty seats.

    I was also very much aware of the protests. They have been close to 24 hours a day and the sit in was very widely reported on. Just wasn't a ton of people

    Alternative news site. Probably being broadcasted from the tent city pictured above.

    If all these Bernie people left, who was there to report the truth that no one else reported on during the Clinton speech?

    If you read the article, it was a breaking story and to report back for an update. Social media to answer your other question, not the television.

    Because everyone knows that Twitter and Facebook do not allow people to post lies.

    My assumption is of course but since we were going in the same direction, I couldn't see his face

    All you had to do is yell out "I felt the burn!" And see if he turned around.
