U.S. Navy veteran Dario Raschio was all smiles Saturday as he awaited a special honor from U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, who joined him at Portland Community College's Southeast Campus to present the 100-year-old with a handful of medals.
"I feel I'm no hero," said Raschio, dynamic and spry, before the event. "I don't accept it as being a hero. I accept it as being a part of my job."
Shortly after Wyden began speaking, though, protesters erupted in the back of the room, shouting "hands-up, don't shoot!" More than 100 pushed through the doors, banged on the windows from outside and hoisted signs.
Raschio and his daughter, Pam Brown of Portland, had a front-row seat to the spectacle. Raschio's smile faded.
Demonstrators across the country have used "don't shoot" and "hands up" as rallying cries following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, last fall.

Amen, brother.
These protesters are exposing themselves as intolerant racists and it's to the point that the original premise of the Civil Rights Movement... "the dream"... to live in a world where people are judged by the content of their character, and not the color of their skin... is just a joke.
What a bunch of complete hypocrites.
If they want class warfare, they got it. Time to defund every welfare entitlement program going.
Racial healing will come the very first time these thugs are beat down. EVERYONE will be cheering.
But that's the best time to shoot.
