Protesters in Portland, Oregon, interrupted a town hall meeting where a decorated World War II veteran was receiving a special honor.

100-year-old U.S. Navy vet Dario Raschio was supposed to be presented with medals by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), but soon after the meeting began, more than 100 protesters emerged, shouting "hands-up, don't shoot!" and "I can't breathe!"

The protesters did not stop until Rashcio spoke up and said, "Give me a chance. At least let us show a little respect for this occasion."

Seems like every time liberals gather it is a possible location shoot for the show COPS.

To think this will be one of his last memories after giving up so much of his youth dodging bullets from people that didn’t care if his hands were up or not.

Not a whole lot of difference between these protesters and the Wet-burro cult.

They’re going into restaurants now to get white people to come to terms with their genocide. Anybody out there still have any doubts Obummer is behind all this? Not me. Beside it being completely over the top, when has stuff like this EVER happened before? Just WHY did Obummer meet with Al Sharpton 85 times?

“hands-up, don’t shoot!” and “I can’t breathe!”

Can someone please shoot and choke them please?

The Patriot Guard Riders might have to start attending ceremonies like this in addition to memorial services.

It sounds like they are planning to continue “crashing” with these protests. I wonder whether their choices of protest venues are influenced by the carry laws in the varied localities? Just a thought.

Article also says they started their yelling as soon as the war hero was finished with his short speech, then the guy left early. Jackasses.

They're going to "protest" one time too many and/or in the wrong place and wrong time. When that happens there will be retaliation and that is exactly what they are hoping for.

The creeps who protest military funerals have the same strategy. They pull their stunts with the hope they are assaulted so they can retaliate in court. We never give them that satisfaction.

We already attend many similar type ceremonies. But we have to be invited.

It’d be a gratifying sight to see video of Patriot Guard or Oathkeepers.. anyone.. getting in these a**holes’ faces.

PGR would have been there had they been invited. But we don’t counter protest. We create and provide separation between the creeps and the ceremony.

Good to know .... then again, whoever thought it would come to this, with the black ferals disrupting medal ceremonies for 100 year old WWII vets with the likes of “hands up, don’t shoot, I can’t breathe”. My disgust for the race-baiting Obola, Holder, Sharpton, de Blasio, et al knows no bounds.
