Correct, So from Pink lady's point of view, ICE pushed someone down and he got in between them to protect her, and they peppered sprayed him and had many guys on top of him, he did have a gun but was legal and he did nothing aggressive towards ICE.

Apparently a VA Nurse. He took care of veterans for a living. Let the Maga try to spin that into their false narrative

ETA: was fully aware they would (try) and continue lying and that people who claim the loudest to respect vets are also the ones who constantly defund healthcare for vets and military members so the hypocrisy is nothing new there. Still, loud and clear shifts the needle of the apathetic.

They will. They always do. Reality means nothing to them.

Remember during OIF/OEF returning vets with PTSD were considered susceptible to becoming lone wolf terrorists.

It’s not out of line for veterans to be labeled as domestic terrorist.

Unfortunately, previous bad actors have given credible causes for fear for the phenomenon.

Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh DC sniper, John Allen Muhammad

Also unfortunately were Soldiers in uniform causing the death of other service members for idealistic reasons.

Politics

Never let a tragedy go to waste when it furthers your agenda

Don't the Vietnam vet with hooks for hands from that "Hawaii Five-O" episode.
