Full Headline: "Picture of man kneeling during taps at tomb of the Unknown Soldier is sparking outrage following NFL protests"

The picture comes when kneeling during the national anthem is resulting in protests of the NFL.

A photo that has gone viral while circulating among the online military community shows a man at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, kneeling down on one knee reportedly during the playing of taps, and is sweeping across America, outraging thousands. “Taps” is a bugle call played at dusk, during flag ceremonies, and at military funerals by the United States armed forces and is regularly played at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Subhuman has on his business suit (or bidness suit as the idiots say) and wonders why no one wants to hire the POS. It’s because we don’t want to be around your sorry go-good, violent, indecent, immoral ass.

I wish someone would pop his sorry loser ass upside the head.

overcome with grief dropped to his knees

I fail to see any grief in the body language or dress of the kneeling son of Obama or his hoodrat friends behind him. Maybe i'm wrong, but I doubt it.

Let’s call it for what it is. That’s not a “man.” That is an untamed beast of which I want no affiliation or association.

Without asking the person what the hell he was doing, the story is missing a big part of the story.

I knelt down to tie my shoe the other day. Without context, people may have thought I was protesting something.

That man was ostracized by some fans, some team players and the NFL Cabal. Like Kaepernick, he was a pariah to football.

Having the last word, ‘they’ managed to keep him from playing the game. Since then, he has moved on to GREATER things How sad the right hero seldom gets the light. There is ONE who cares for His own.

Does that look like what he’s doing? Really?
During a solemn ceremony `Taps’?
At the Tomb of the Unknow Soldier?

When I lived on Army posts, when the flag was retired for the evening if you were in your car you stopped and got out. You got off your bicycle. You stopped walking.
And you stood there, saluting, hand over heart facing the flag.
I don’t recall ever seeing anyone tie their shoe.
Why carry water for these scumbags? We know exactly what they are doing.

It's amazing that even intelligent people (e.g., Dennis Prager who I admire greatly) go beyond espousing that race is not the cause of the protest, they claim it's not even a factor.

Yeah, right. Arguably not "the cause" ... but not "a factor"? Ya gotta be kiddin' me!

... following your large lunch of egg salad casserole and baked beans ... just to send a “message” to the “protestor”, of course.

Ha! Ha!

If he made a fuss, it would attract the guards, and I bet a Franklin that they throw the bum out.

Who cares? I guess only he knows if he is being a douche bag or not.

It is possible that This young man has a family member who died and or is missing or unidentified. And he went to his knees in sorrow. This is possible. I’m not flying off the handle on this just yet.

Well...his shoelaces were untied (and pants down like ghetto trash). So watch BLM claim he was just tying them

He’s looking for attention - and getting it. If we just ignore them (and quit posting about it), maybe they’ll just go away.
