I don't like what they did but I won't denounce it either.

Well it certainly sucks. Those women were way out of line and physically aggressive. There's no defense for that.

They apologized.
Twitter account for BLM Seattle
They also issued another statement
Black Lives Matter Seattle explained their actions in a news release: “The problem with Sanders, and with white Seattle progressives in general, is that they are utterly and totally useless (when not outright harmful) in terms of the fight for Black lives. While we are drowning in their liberal rhetoric, we have yet to see them support Black grassroots movements or take on any measure of risk and responsibility for ending the tyranny of white supremacy.”

Well, one upside for Bernie:
More people are now aware of his record on civil rights, and his support for minorities.
If a black president couldn't make changes even with a majority in congress that was satisfactory in the eyes of these blm protestors. If he couldn't use all his eo power to satisfy. What exactly is Bernie going to do that would ever make these types of people happy?

Gee, can we get a bigger #sorrynotsorry!
I just read the link...tried to format an answer, and can only say...are f*#&*!^ kidding me!!
Alone, we can surmise that she may have made a few questionable choices in her youth. OK, she was young, but Palin was a candidate for VP running against the first black president. But when I read down a little further, my benefit of the doubt limit had been reached.
"GOP shoulda groomed me right then...now they gotta see me on the other side *shrugs*"
For real? It's like that? This wasn't 8 years, or even 4 years ago. She posted that last month. So my question is, what kinda grooming would it have taken?

Black people? Not everything is a conspiracy, black people like to shoot themselves in the foot.

Who benefits from this, and who looses?
1. This hindered Bernie's rally
2. This gave BLM bad press
What group of people would want to throw interference in Bernie Sander's campaign, and simultaneously paint BLM in a bad light?
Hmm...
EDIT:
Did some digging...some background info on one of the women who interrupted the rally:

Who cares? So you are saying that the blacklivesmatter movement is all a ruse?
All of the media, and people across all forms of social media who are for BLM are just fake?
