In reply to the discussion: Anybody got that chair video yet? [View all]winter is coming
(11,785 posts)For somebody who was supposedly angry enough to throw things, he didn't seem to be in any hurry to do so. He didn't just pick the chair up and fling it. He didn't try to rush toward the stage (or anywhere else) with the chair. He didn't struggle with the guys who got him to put the chair down. At all.
I don't think his intent was to throw anything. I think that either he was somebody trying to move a chair and a couple of people said, "Dude, that looks bad. Put the chair down," or the whole point was to hold the chair so someone else could film that "threat".
So... does anybody know this guy, and his story?
ON EDIT: In fairness, let me add a link to a post with a video made by the woman who took the video, better explaining the situation: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1995680
From their account, it sounds like the guy was a genuinely upset Bernie supporter, although I still think his behavior was atypical.
