The Occupiers find their "hero" Marine
You Tube ^ | October 18, 2011 | Shamar Thomas

Posted on 10/18/2011 12:09:50 PM PDT by Choose Ye This Day

The DUmmies and the Left Wing are all hyperventilating over this Marine Sgt., Shamar Thomas, who chastises the NYPD for "picking on" the OWS hippies.

This guy has already been on Olbermann's "show," as well as O'Donnell, and I'm sure they've thoroughly vetted him to make sure he is legit. Maybe.

It's just interesting how the only time the Commies have anything nice to say about a Marine is when he supports their anti-American activities.

I respect Marines and the corps great deal. I know a lot of Marines. Unfortunately I have known quite a few men who had mental problems who were very attracted to the Marines. Most of them washed out... but not all. Any large group of people are going to end up with a few oddballs, especially a group as prestigious as the United States Marine Corps.

The DUmmies heaping praise upon him:

Shamar Thomas, Iraq veteran, takes on the entire NYPD and WINS!

HIS message should be repeated Over & OVER by THOUSANDS straight into the faces of those armed with batons, mace, and Guns who are acting in the interests of the Top 1% by delivering Beat Downs to American Citizens.

I wasnt just impressed by that, I wept.

“There were giants in the Earth in those days.” One has arisen.

I hope someone finds out he is another imposter. What an embarrassment to our nation’s military personnel. Most our men and women in military service are honorable, humble, upstanding and classy. There are bad apples in every crowd.

That said, he is intitled to his opinion and he is doing nothing illegal. It is a freedom we cherish (as conservatives) whether the agree with the use of free speech or not.

I was secretly hoping an officer would stumble and fall in a way that caused his can of pepper spray to accidentally discharge in this guys eye.

Shamar Thomas is an active duty Marine.

The Daily Mail has this bio:
‘This is not a war zone! These are unarmed people. It doesn’t make you tough to hurt these people!’
Mr Thomas is qualified to make that distinction, having served in the Marine corps from 2003 and did two tours in Iraq, in 2004 and 2006, before being honourably discharged in 2007. During his time in Iraq, he served as the non-commission officer who ran a small detention facility in Rutbah, which earned him a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.

To be clear, the police that this blowhard is chastising are the same police that Obama is out gushing all over about how he is going to save or create more jobs for.

Well which is it? Police are part of the "establishment" and working for the "man". Or they are part of the honest, hardworking middle class that deserves to be the benefactor of wealth redistribution?

Thank you for checking. I didn’t know if he was active duty, former, never. I’m glad someone has the ability to check.

Look at the police. They are stunned that a Marine is there.
Either this guy is a phony or he has mental problems. Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmmmm, mmmmm!

Yeah. Button up your cammie blouse, roll the sleeves up properly, shave, and TAKE OFF THE RIBBONS, and I might believe you’re a Marine. Not.

And the DUmmies are gushing in half their threads that the NYPD union members are 100% behind the hippies, and that the Boys in Blue would be protesting WITH the Occupiers. However, The Man won’t let them.

But when this Marine goes off on them, suddenly the cops are the enemy again.

In a few days, the Marines will be the enemy once more.

You might want to check again. According to his bio in the Daily Mail (see post #9), he was discharged in 2007. (While it's possible that he may have rejoined, I'd be surprised if that were the case.)

I wish him well, but I hope he's getting help.

He seems a bit batty. Glassy-eyed and repeating the same phrases over and over again, like he's arguing with somebody who's not arguing back.

Beard, no cover, unbuttoned uniform, and yelling at cops. I’m thankful to him for serving our country, but this dude needs help.

The guy is a nut case ranting over and over. I see no misconduct by the police. He might need a mental evaluation. Playing to the camera with no honor.

You're absolutely right and in the Corps they are (or were back in the day) known as "ten percenters." That is, the 10% of your unit who were flat-out screw ups.
They were always the $hitbirds, the ones who never got the message, always late to formation, AWOL. couldn't shoot straight, had their own agendas, and more importantly, the ones who would get other Marines killed in combat.
There never was a "Code Red" like in the movies, but we essentially handled the them the same way.

Or just a sloppy drunk. The cops are just standing there, doing their jobs, trying not to let a horde of Commies take over Times Square, and he’s screaming at them like they’re the vilest baby-killers.

Interesting that the group who claims to represent 99% of world society is choosing to place a triumphal arch around a guy who represents 0.000000001% of the US military.
