And just like that, it was no longer insurrection

They better not get roughed up.

They should get Babbitt'ed.

The rest of the thread is pretending these commie infiltrators are patriots.

Dozens of veterans arrested at Capitol during protest against Iran war

https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5840253-protesters-occupy-capitol-building/

Dozens of veterans and military family members protesting the Iran war were arrested by U.S. Capitol Police on Monday after they occupied the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C.

At least 62 people were arrested during the demonstration, which was organized by several veterans groups including About Face, the Center on Conscience and War (CCW), Veterans For Peace, Common Defense, the Fayetteville Resistance Coalition, Military Families Speak Out and 50501 Veterans.

The protesters stood in the middle of the Cannon rotunda holding red tulips — meant to honor Iranians killed by U.S. strikes — and unveiling banners that said “End the War on Iran.” They also conducted a flag-folding ceremony meant to symbolize the 13 U.S. troops who have died so far in the war, chanting anti-war slogans before they were zip-tied by police and led away, videos posted to social media show.

Doncha love comedy movies with a happy ending?

I still don't get it. Repeated over and over, "Iran represents no imminent threat". Considering their stated desire to destroy us, and their continued attempts to acquire nukes and the ability to deliver them long-range...
Do we wait until they have them? Or is that also overreacting? Maybe wait for them to launch a couple our way? Do we hold off until NPR gives us the go-ahead?
I just would like to know how these people process information, because based off Iran's past behavior, I think these protesters are batshit crazy.
