The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

cbsnews.com - It was chaos dfl volunteer describes violent convention outburst in minneapolis

MINNEAPOLIS -- Saturday's Ward 10 DFL Convention in Minneapolis was supposed to end with a candidate endorsed for city council. Instead, it ended with multiple people in the hospital and police on the scene - and no endorsement.

Prior to incumbent Aisha Chughtai's time to address the crowd, supporters of challenger Nasri Warsame approached and eventually took the stage.

The moment, captured on cell phone video, lasted for several minutes and forced the convention to end abruptly.

"It was a disruption, it was chaos," said DFL volunteer Quentin Wathum-Ocama. "I've never seen anything like this, and I've been doing this close to a decade."

Yup. The guy that wants Chughtai's job basically says he's there to represent the Somali community and that's about it.
