John has what the orange felon doesn’t have - belief in the oath HE took when he joined our military to defend our constitution and protect our freedoms. John I thank you for standing up and moving forward to continue to honor your oath and once again defend the Constitution.
May those in Congress who aren’t living up to their oath heed John’s lesson.
Hope springs eternal. The arrest of John Spitzberg for what? Crossing a line with his walker? This has got to be the clearest sign of the desperation of the MAGA movement and the strength of ours. Trump just learned that this is not Russia, China, or North Korea. Not. Even. Close. Americans (apparently not even Trump's millions of adorers) have no interest in the trappings of dictators. Our military, apparently, has no stomach for it either if you caught the vibe of all the soldiers and compared that to the goose-stepping esprit de corps of the North Koreans as they show off for thier "fearful" leader. What Americans, apparently, DO have interest in is making their voices heard and holding their leaders accountable. The energy is on our side and nothing screams that louder than the arrest of John Spitzberg. Thank you John, and thank you Susan for recognizing and sharing this. Journalism at its finest. The image may not be as arresting as the napalm girl or Tiananmen's tank man, but it is, I believe, similarly poignant.
I admire this man more than I can say. They kept him overnight. Did they give him access to his walker? Did they feed him? I hate the way we are right now.
How pathetic are the cops who arrested that man? In the video I saw, they also took away his walker. We need cops who go along and do this crap to start using common sense and just refusing to do this kind of stupid stuff.
My favorite sign at the Torrington, CT rally said, “Hey GOP, get a spine or resign.” There were probably close to 1000 people there in a very red little city. My friends and I spontaneously led patriotic songs and everyone sang along with us. There were a lot more younger folk this time around.
60 vets arrested in DC. Pesident of Veterans for Peace National is the Black guy speaking about halfway through. FYI they do not want to mention VFP. hmmm?
Yes, God bless John! The stupid cops could have stopped and put the cuffs on with his hands in front so he could use the walker. But admit a mistake, no.
God bless John!

That's a good one. I didn't do a crowd count in Niantic (where I protested) but it was easily a few hundred.

I hate to talk about optics here, but yeah.
Thank you, John, for your continuing service to our country!
This arrest was revolting.
