BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Activists stepped up their efforts to demand a cease-fire in Gaza by stepping up a ladder to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ office in Burlington.
Duncan Nichols with the ad hoc group “Protect Palestinian Children” climbed up to Sanders’ office on Church Street. At the top, he placed signs reading “Ceasefire now” and “There is no military solution.”
While Sen. Peter Welch and Rep. Becca Balint have called for a cease-fire, Sanders says he’s unsure whether it’s possible with an organization like Hamas involved.
After several failed attempts to discuss a cease-fire with the senator, Nichols decided a bold move was needed.
“We’re just trying any means we can to escalate our own message which is the message of the American people,” Nichols said.
Many people out on the Marketplace stopped by the protest, picking up signs and sharing their perspectives.
But not everyone supported the climb. Nearby business owners yelled at Nichols to move, with one man shaking the ladder.
Burlington police watched on but said they wouldn’t make any arrests.
Nichols’ group packed up after an hour urging people to call Sanders’ office and demand he call for a cease-fire.

Goddamn Bernie is disappointing. You’re gonna be retired and/or dead soon. He’s totally free to say and do anything he wants and he’s actively choosing to be pro-Israel. So fucking disappointing.
Social democrats: Objectively the moderate wing of fascism.
his foreign policy is always dogshit. he just wants to redistribute the imperial spoils
Yea he’s been a really powerful lighning rod for neutralizing a lot of left enthusiasm.

Not to sound like too much of a nerd but shaking a ladder somebody is on top of pretty well fits the definition of trying to cause grave bodily harm.
The cops showed up and did literally nothing
Surprised the guy was smart enough to take his uniform off before he started shaking the ladder.
Crazy how all that shaking made me drop my trusty hammer right on him
LFG
Burlington police watched on but said they wouldn’t make any arrests.
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOO
Chud pigs prolly just want to see him get harassed
Works for this tho
Do the chuds even hate Bernie?
I figure the chuds in that area don’t mind him because he doesn’t really fuck with them too much. Vermont is a pretty weird state in a great way imo. Also tho, even the chuds i know in NY/NJ pretty much just say. “oh, the fucking socialist” or make a bernie bro comment and then move on.
their media generally ignores him which keeps the hate down
Near dead careerist still trying to not go all in on his “”“”“”““progressive””“”“”“”" policies
When the revolution comes, remb to bring ladders. You’re gonna need ladders.
Could unironically see ladders as a kind of progressive symbol.
Tool of the working class, the solution to every dumb fuck chuds obsession with biorder walls, pretty clear metaphor for upward mobility.
hammer and ladder on the next socialist flag, sickles in shambles
I prefer ladder & sickle
Now that’s the grandpa America needs right there on that ladder.
Unironically this is what peak performance looks like
with one man shaking the ladder.
while I actively threaten to toss you from your ladder and maybe kill you in the process.
Your constiutional right is disturbing holiday treat time kiddo!Holy shit imagine how stupid we would all look if this fucking cuck actually made it to the presidency and was in charge during Oct 7 lol. Can’t even do the bare minimum with one foot in the grave and nothing to lose
burlington rules lol

thanks!
The guy who shook the ladder gets the pit.
boomers with beer bellies are the backbone of the american left
