Ranger that called the fake soldier out gets arrested immediately after the confrontation
RTBA News ^ | 3-18-2014 | Kristopher Vieira

Posted on 03/18/2014 5:58:00 PM PDT by servo1969

The man behind the footage of calling a fraud soldier out for wearing Ranger, E.O.D., and 101st Airborne Tab was arrested immediately after the video by the campus authorities.

The reason? He was charged with disturbing the peace and making threats against a phony soldier who was pretending to serve and die for our country.

The police reported that Vieira, the man confronting the fake soldier, approached him on several occasions and verbally assaulted the fraud! Well there’s a pretty valid reason behind the so-called unnecessary assault.

Vieira, who uploaded video of the confrontation to YouTube, was later arrested by campus authorities for confronting the man in military clothing.

“(Vieira) approached him on several occasions and verbally went after him,” Delta police officer Jim Bock told KXTV. “He’s been counseled on each occasion to stop. There are proper ways to handle these issues.”

The man who was wearing fake tabs told the authorities that he did indeed serve as a Ranger. What a fraud! The police also told KXTV that it is not illegal to wear a uniform as long as the person wearing it is not trying to reap any benefits.

Vieira thinks otherwise, and I’m sure the rest of you reading this do as well.

“It strikes a nerve when someone goes around faking that uniform. It’s very disrespectful,” Vieira said.

Were the authorities justified for arresting a man who got emotional and upset over a liar because his 4 Ranger brothers died serving for our country? He is a proud Ranger, and we believe he is as innocent as you can be.

Maybe we ought to figure out who this fake is and out him. Maybe someone who lives nearby this school ought to go and just point and laugh, rather than insulting him. No law against pointing and laughing, or telling passers-by that he’s a fraud. The point is to excite contempt for him rather than to make him seem like a victim.

Like the commenter said - if he were walking around in uniform with a badge and telling everyone he was a cop would that be cool with San Joaquin Delta College?

If he tried that with Hells Angels colors, he’d be walking around with a ball-peen hammer sticking out of the top of his head.

We had a pretty robust debate here on the Stolen Valor Act when United States v. Alvarez went to the SCOTUS in 2011. Seems you have freedom of speech to wear or claim status you never earned, but those who did have no freedom of speech when they call you out on it...

My guess, his sexual prowess with the coeds, or lack thereof.

That the REAL Vet gets arrested really ticks me off.

I am one that won’t wear a hat or shirt that promotes a Ship or Unit I didn’t serve on or in.

Not so many years ago ‘we’ could say lets go with a jury trial NOW and this foolishness would have been stopped.

More so in that era NO self respecting Police would have arrested the REAL DEAL and maybe would have taken the wannabee in to see if everything was in proper order.

Course then a good number of Police were Vets and while maybe not downright disregarding another Vet, at least they would give you a ‘fair shake’ if you ‘respected their new uniform’.

These misfit robotons in there nowadays, with tests etc geared to the weakest of the lot, allows a lot of not so desirable people in AND they have to be careful what they ‘wash them out for’.

Ok, I know it was along time ago (1970) but I seem to remember being told when I was DROS’d that I had twenty-four hours and after that I was not allowed to wear my uniform again. Something change?

Looking at his picture makes me nauseous. Beyond creepy uncle fester type.

Campus cops have no class. In the same league as the poser I guess. They probably arrested Vieira as a professional courtesy to the fraud.
