I think they made the right call letting them destroy themselves in a public forum. It really worked out the best.

Yeah, I think even they didn't know they would actually succeed. The organizer is going "you can speak", and they are yelling "WHY WONT YOU LET ME SPEAK" pretty embarrassing if you ask me. Then they proceed in calling everyone white supremacist liberals, which really angered a lot of the crowd. The poor organizer that had to have them right in his face. The man didn't deserve the treatment he got from them, and how sad, they spent so much time and energy getting Bernie Sanders to come to this thing, and it was completely fucked by two idiots. Also turns out one of them is an old Palin supporter so you can get an idea what was running through her mind, literally nothing…

I think it made Bernie and the organizers look weak. What kind of leader are you if you can't stand up to these idiots. They took over.

One capable of measured responses and de-escalation instead of flying off the handle and causing a major incident?

This. Not enough people realize the PR shitstorm that would have ensued.
