Veterans for Peace say:

"Disabled military veterans arrested for peacefully protesting the Iran War at Capitol Hill. A coalition of 200 veterans standing at attention, held red tulips honoring Iranians killed by US bombs, and conducted a flag-folding ceremony symbolizing the US troops killed."

"The veterans demanded Speaker Mike Johnson come meet them to accept the folded flag and pledge to not continue funding of the war. At least 60 were arrested while waiting for Johnson to meet their demands.

"Those arrested included Executive Director of Veterans For Peace Michael McPhearson and Executive Director of @centeronconscience Mike Prysner"

Ah, I see we are at the <checks notes> "arresting peacefully protesting disabled veterans" stage now.

Bless them we don’t deserve these strong brave men and women
Society has really never taken care of their veterans properly, and despite this they are still willing to lay down their lives for what we were always told what this country stands for.
Let’s make that country actually happen

What were they arrested for??

[jqmcd@sfba.social]

@MaryAustinBooks and they’ll end up with stiffer sentences than the J6 rioters got

[joelbarr@mastodon.online]

@MaryAustinBooks all while the Jan 6 protesters get pardons.

@johentsch
MAGA Mike Johnson has unconstitutionally banned peaceful protest and prayer in the Capitol rotunda. These are not the first peaceful protesters to defend the Constitution by protesting or praying there.

Oh, I'm not with this group. I'm not a veteran. I just follow many resistance groups on other platforms and post their content here because you won't see this in corporate media.

I thank them for their service too, then and now.

@MaryAustinBooks I can see why [holding tulips] and [folding flags] were definitely things that would really upset people so much that they had to go and arrest veterans.

[nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social]

@MaryAustinBooks How dare they make such unreasonable demands as [come meet them] and [accept the folded flag]! They deserved to be arrested!

@MaryAustinBooks - welcome to the Forth Reich and the creation of 'I Had a Feeling' declarations of war.
