They literally broke an ex-Marines hand for speaking out.

Arm. They broke likely two bones in his arm based on the video picture and the sounds captured. It's pretty fucked up.

Just like Obama and Biden did! Just like Hillary would totally do!

Both sides man, thank God this wasn’t Kamala…

Once a Marine always a Marine

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i agree with you that above Marine is a Marine. However: you can dishonor yourself and your uniform and i'll call said folk ex-marines.

Fair enough, but that clearly doesn't apply here

They broke his radius and ulna. This footage is pretty intense. There is more complete videos on Telegram where he says Palestine will be free.

THESE ARE NAZIS - not US Senator or anything remotely worthy of respect, just to be clear. The actions speak louder than name badges or seating charts.

It's important to note that this specific Nazi is a US Senator, though. Helps illustrate how deep the rot goes.

Arrest and prosecute this piece of shit senator.

This video cuts off too soon. In the video I saw, a woman filming turns the camera to the generals sitting motionless with their backs to the horror going on behind them. She calls them robots and urges them to turn around and see wants going on. She yells shame.

It's almost more chilling than the man's arm being broken. It's hard to believe it could be worse, but it's so creepy to see all their backs turned. And they're completely frozen.

It's like a scene from a horror film.
