Metsfanmax & Friends Pull a Linda Searcy on Bernie Sanders

Five animal rights protesters jumped over barricades and rushed the podium at a Bernie Sanders rally in East Oakland, California, on Monday night, prompting the Vermont senator's Secret Service detail to intervene.
One of the protesters appeared to be hit by one of the security member's baton, while another was carried out of the venue by his arms and legs.
In a statement, another one of the Berkely-based group's organizers, Aidan Cook, said that “Sanders claims to oppose ‘factory farming,’ but what he hides is that virtually all farms in the United States, including farms he supports, are essentially factory farms."
The group is seeking an endorsement of full “personhood” for all animals and has previously disrupted Sanders' events.

There is no place for disruptive protest in a civilized society.

It certainly sounds like something Linda would do.
What does "full personhood" mean? Hopefully Mets can help once he gets out of jail.

The people of China can only rue that their government has ignored the policy advice of Metsfanmax the Wise for so long.

Side note - I played pickup basketball for a long time during law school and after. Given my prodigious size and football/rugby background I regularly ran into (and ran over) people. One of my friends said I was like the tank at Tiananmen Square. So they started calling me Mao. True story.

For our last season we had jerseys made. I nixed the "Mao" on the back and just did "Tank."

Yours is pretty cool, too, but i was referring to Maud'dib. I had a girl's name for a nickname in middle and high school, so mine was pretty lame.
