Given how they treat police versus how they treat criminals, probably afraid of being booed.

It’s okay, By missing the ceremony, they helped make it meaningful, solemn and authentic. Their presence is a form of cultural pollution.

Why would a certified communist islamist and anti-america Trump hater want to attend a 911 affair?

Where’s the surprise in this?

Don’t you get it yet?

THEY WANT YOU GONE OR DEAD.

My sympathies are with those who lost loved on that horrible. It doesn’t extend one iota to those who keep putting these idiots into office.
