guess we should all do what we are told and stay in "free speech zones". I can just see Rosa Parks now..."Mrs. Parks you need to go to the back of the bus."..."OK, I'm sorry for breaking your rules".

Personally, I think it's brilliant to assault uniformed veterans in front of cameras.

If the idea is to create a series of escalating incidents that could be used to impose martial law and the complete suspension of civil liberties, it's brilliant.

This seems to be a pattern with local police forces.

Keytoothed,

"Funny how you have try anyway possible to demean the man's honorable service just because he doesn't share your opinion."

You are a dumb ass. What you accuse me of, the IVAW did to everyone member of the military that served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

At the direction of their VVAW puppetmasters, the IVAW replayed "Winter Soldier in March of this year. The proceeded to call all our troops serving honorably baby killing war criminals.

Screw you, you lying moron.

Funny how you have try anyway possible to demean the man's honorable service just because he doesn't share your opinion. Maybe he's braver than you are. Maybe that's the real problem you have with him.
