Communists will wear any mask that works to advance the cause. Supreme Court justice, college prof, Catholic priest, Navy veteran.

Anything. Ends justify the means.

"Sounds like he got off lightly."

When you're told to leave the area, leave the area. You don't stand there and ask why. There's a procedure for that. It's called the courts. Does this moron think that if he stood there and questioned a Communist Chinese soldier, that all he'd get would be a baton to his hand, and pepper spray in the face?

Just because he says he is a vet doesnt make him a vet, nor does wearing a Navy shirt. He seems to have forgotten his own oath and felt like he could stand in front of worn out, abused federal law enforcement and get a king’s reception. This sounds more like stolen valor to me from someone desperate to get in print. No sympathy here. (Retired Army Officer)

I am sure it had nothing to do with this:

12 cops injured, buildings damaged as Seattle protest turns violent

So what if he actually was a Navy vet?

Now he’s a Communist traitor.

There are Catholic priests and SCOTUS judges that are also Communist traitors.

They will wear ANY mask that advances Communism.

a federal officer beat him with a baton, breaking his hand in two places. A second officer sprayed him with chemical irritant

No wooden shampoo?

I'm disappointed.

When he tried to speak with them outside the federal courthouse in Portland on Saturday night, he said a federal officer beat him with a baton, breaking his hand in two places.

His skull getting broken in two places would have been so much better.

"He tried to speak with them."

He got what he asked for. He was told to leave. He stood defiantly. Police were being attacked.

Notice the cop went at him right after an explosion (fireworks mortar I’m guessing). He didn’t even flinch at the two hits to his hand.

He wanted to be a martyr and get his 15 minutes of fame. He’s a VA worker, so a lefty gov waste of air, most likely. He disgraced his uniform.

I watched the CNN video. Sure does not look like his hands were broken. As for beaten like a punching bag, nope. He walked away just fine. And DHS needs to check the “chemical irritant” being used because it too got a very mild response.

I thank him (and you) for his service. But just because he wore the uniform doesn’t mean he cant be a worthless POS. I was reading comments on the Mark Cuban - Ted Cruz Twitter feud about the anthem. Was sad to see someone who claimed to be a vet say that he supports anthem kneelers because “this country was never great.” Just sad.

“Those agents weren’t there to talk. It was a riot they were picking up suspects for questioning.”

And they should just execute these commies and dump the bodies on the street.

I may believe he’s a vet, after I’ve seen his DD-214, until then, he’s just another guy who says he served.

I don’t care if he’s a navy vet. Dumbass should have stayed home. I guess federal police ain’t like the Portland police. Lessons learned.
