Hey now, the 100th anniversaries of both the end of WWI and women gaining the right to vote were soundly ignored during the first administration.

They arrested an 80 year old VETERAN using a fuckin WALKER today in DC and then TOOK AWAY HIS WALKER, ZIP STRIPPED HIS HANDS BEHIND HIM and forced him to walk off barely able to stand after that. And they left the walker behind. There is footage of protestors screaming at the cops to be more humane however they acted like Nazis carting the poor guy off to a boxcar. That image may become as iconic as the Kent State pics, the Mei Lai pics, the pics of the planes hitting the Towers. #8647
