Elementary... not academic.
Again: For protection against tear gas, pepper spray and rubber bullets. And it's a good thing or there would be more Scot Olsens out there. You never struck me as the type who'd denigrate a vet.

You know that posters are expected to back up their assertions, unless they're clear that they're voicing an opinion. Right?
Do you not remember Crash The Tea Party?

Google it.

I feel bad for him. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

When will Democrats stop throwing away the ballots of enlisted persons?

You haven't provided any proof for what you're sure of yet. Deflection won't work. Olsen was acting as he thought justifiable, and having taken an oath to protect the Constitution, he was using his First Amendment rights to do just that. He didn't take an oath to protect Wall Street robber barons who took stimulus money then gave themselves raises. I'd imagine that he never thought he'd survive Iraq, only to be severely injured at home.

They must have been "air-throwing" then, huh? Like "air-hugs?"

I liked to a story about who Crash The Tea Party was. Here's another.

Anyway, the site is history.

The left doesn't give a rat's ass about the military. Try and recruit on campus and see what happens next.

That has nothing to do with the voter recount civil disobedience in Florida. Why weren't they attacked with tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets or frog-marched out of the building they were occupying? Because Jeb was in charge? And why do I feel like you aren't old enough to remember it?
