Protesters Disrupt Event Honoring 100 Yr Old US Navy Vet
They don’t care about showing disrepect to a 100 year old vet, it’s all about the cause…Scum is scum.
Quote: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.

I have no problem with protest or civil disobedience. The manner and venue chose whilst doing it should be considered. This was just fcking stupid and shows a lack of intelligence and class.

Maybe I'll protest and disrupt some black music awards show. They can dish it out. Let's see if they can take it.

This is an event that shouldn't have been disrupted. What did this Veteran have to do w/ the things going on across the nation.

Those folks are really stupid. I can guarantee you the thought never entered thier minds that the reason they could "protest" was because of what that veteran, and many like him, did for them all those years ago.

I imagine the protester's thought process went something like this:
1. Enrage people who are trying to honor a WWII vet by protesting at the ceremony.
2. ?
3. Enraged people help protestors achieve the Social Change the protestors desire!

Sounds like something the extremely conservative Westboro Baptist Church would do.

They proclaim themselves as conservative Christians.
You associate these idiots with liberals when I'm willing to bet most liberals wouldn't associate themselves with this group.

I really doubt there was much of a though process at all. Just a new group of people who they could force to listen to their nonsense.

I would agree. I'm just pointing out the fallacy that all Liberals associate with these protests, just as all Conservatives wouldn't associate themselves with the idiots at WBC.

RE: Protesters Disrupt Event Honoring 100 Yr Old US Navy Vet
Evidently protesting 100 year old vets is not all these idiots did this past weekend. I never knew Sunday Brunch was a white man's privilege.
#BlackBrunch demonstrators storm New York and California restaurants as part of plan to 'target white spaces'
Quote:Dozens of demonstrators today stormed restaurants and targeted white diners in New York and California as part of a 'Black Brunch' protest against alleged police violence.
Carrying banners, the chanting protesters entered a number of venues in New York City that they identified as 'white spaces', including midtown eateries: Lallisse, Maialino and Pershing Square.
Once inside, they 'disrupted' customers' meals by reading out the names of African-Americans killed by police, including Michael Brown, 17, who was shot dead by officer Darren Wilson last August.
Addressing staff and patrons, they shouted: 'Every 28 hours, a black person in America is killed by the police. These are our brothers and sisters. Today and every day, we honor their lives.'
In each restaurant, they also asked diners to stand and raise their fists in the air 'for black life', according to Yahoo! News. At several venues, 'a good number' of customers apparently did so.
Throughout the day, many of the three dozen protesters - who also targeted 'predominantly white' restaurants in Oakland, California - posted photos of the 'Black Brunch' demonstration online.
Alongside an image of protesters inside a New York restaurant, Sharmin Ultra, tweeted: 'We interrupt your brunch time to let you know there is a war on Black lives. We will not stay silent.'
Another, using the handle @telushk, wrote: 'We're asking brunchgoers to STAND for black life. A good number in the last spot stood or raised their fists. #blackbrunchnyc #BlackBrunch.'
