Ugly Incident already in Charlotte

[ArlJim78]

The delegates are arriving for the Democratic convention, some of them drunk and disorderly.


CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A California delegate to the Democratic National Convention was hospitalized early this morning, after apparently falling unconscious in a hotel lobby following a night of drinking, while another delegate became confrontational with hotel staff and has since left the delegation, a party official said.

Later, in a statement, Flores said the delegate who was not hospitalized became disruptive with hotel staff and emergency responders, prompting hotel staff to call police. He said the delegate was not arrested but was asked by the state party to leave the hotel and to not partake in convention activities. The statement said the delegate apologized to hotel staff and agreed to "forgo official delegation activities."

Wow, that's just INSANE. This is the first I've ever heard of an attendee of ANY kind of convention having too much to drink and/or becoming belligerent. So crazy, so ugly, and thankfully so rare! At least there weren't call girls involved, but that would be off the charts unbelievable.. at least I would hope to think, heavens to betsy! :rolleyes: :sleeping:

Probably just finished a marathon and had a couple beers to cool down, clearly a honest mistake.

But to answer your question...nah...Dems don't get drunk and disorderly...that's a rich white Repug thing to do...

You see, if these were Repugs pretending to be a Democrat, they probably would have simply been holding a sign like this guy:
