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?  

nothing to see here just another black on black incident!

He was just having a bad day.

It's hard to blame whites when the killings were black-on-black. In the same way, it's hard to blame the gun when the shooter is known to be violent and not legally allowed to possess the gun he used.

This killing resists being mashed into the MSM's narrative-mold, so it will get token coverage, if any.

Some 14 hours after you posted this thread, still just 8 Replies on DU. I guess DUpipo only care about their hoplophobic and anti-white narratives, not the 8 children whose lives were brutally ended.

They should get Babbitt'ed.

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

I saw this earlier this morning. I figured it was a left wing mob calling themselves Vets

"I'm not going to speak for the President, I'm speaking for myself, a lifelong Catholic," Homan said. "I would say, stay out of immigration. They don't know what they're talking about."

"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a nine-year-old girl that got raped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor-trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet including a five-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happen on the open border, I think their opinion would change," Homan continued.

"And I welcome a discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border," Homan said. "Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that. Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."

Sadly, I do not think many Catholic "leaders" would change their minds. They're too infused with leftist political ideology.

I'm not a Catholic, but I have and do read the Scriptures. Paul set out the purpose of Christian leaders and ministries:

... to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, ... (Ephesians 4:12)

The list of ministries that precede verse 12 (I don't rip and twist verses out of context!) is inclusive, from evangelists who bring people to faith in Jesus to the pastors, teachers and others who help believers mature, helping some become future leaders.

Lecturing national/imperial leaders about geopolitics is not their function, whether the monstrous Nero, the corrupt governors of Judea, or the Presidents, Prime Ministers, etc. of modern nations. Christian leaders' "lane", ministering to believers, is actually far greater than Presidents'.

Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson. He is a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character."
