(14,625 posts)The way Shitler and Kegsbreath are treating our miliary is nothing short of CRIMINAL! My grandson was all set to enlist until Shitler was elected and then he thought better of it. Glad he did, or he'd probably be in a war that would kill his spirit the way Iraq ultimately killed his uncle.

The Capitol Police are arresting US military veterans for protesting war and genocide. Thats how sick our society is. Protesting war and genocide lands you in jail while supporting war and funding genocide gets you a job in Congress and the White House.

(42,497 posts)I think if they had stayed outside for the protest the police couldn't or wouldn't have arrested them.
Because this is peaceful (unlike the Jan.6th coup attempt) it shows that these veterans realized that they would probably be arrested when they entered the building.

(215 posts)Rioters can break in, trash the Capitol, steal, and try to overturn an election. They get to go home and are later pardoned. Military veterans are immediately arrested for peacefully exercising the First Amendment rights they fought for.
are the repubes going to cheer about this?
This is what should have been able to happen on Jan6!!

I'm thinking this is the reason why he's coming on, to talk about the Veterans' peaceful protest and subsequent arrests.
