They were stationary, he was pushing against them. They were having their little event, he was trying, repeatedly, to push his way into it. Total fail on his part, I have no sympathy.
Post 37.
He was trying to pass through and they stopped him.
He wasn’t ranting, he wasn’t yelling, he was not arguing, he was not pushing or shoving, he was just trying to pass through. And when he turned around they did push him. . .they did not offer a hand to politely assist him, they linked arms and pushed.
You saw something different.
I blame the snowflakes and you blame the elderly veteran with a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
Disheartening to see so much of that taking place, on this very thread.
This is no longer the nation it once was... in so many crucial, vital ways.
Yes. He should not have been there at that moment.
As I said, I’m glad they weren’t more aggressive with him than they were. I don’t think he quite understood where he was then. His face is blank, not even irritation is showing.

Agree. Though some still say he deserved it when he clearly was not trolling for a fight/argument.
Somebody was clearly not watching Grandpa when they were supposed to be.
Clearly you are judging based upon who “he” is. I am simply looking at bodies in space. They (the group of radicals) are in place together and not moving. HE is trying to push through them. They are in place, he is pushing into their area. If the personnel were reversed you would never approve of some young radical trying to force his way into a stationary group of elderly vets.
Don’t judge based upon which person(S) you like better, look at what is happening physically. And yes, he is sure trying to provoke them, however slowly. No one would like an unknown stranger trying to physically force his way into their little space. There were a million places in Cleveland he could walk, and he picked the exact tiny space where they were already standing?? Cmon, it was provocation all the way. It doesn’t matter that he is one of “ours” rather than one of “theirs”... it is still b.s.
They pushed him off the curb into the gutter, and were gentle about it, but would not let him pass. Bunch of a—holes, nonetheless.
I have been in tons of crowd situations, including trying to manage large events. The person who doesn’t respect the “space” that others physically inhabit is the one who causes trouble. You seem to think that he has a right to bulldoze through other people because he is older or a distinguished vet or anything else. He should have left them alone. I have a great uncle who is a bronze star and purple heart, too. I’d say the same thing to him except he wouldn’t do this:. don’t try to push people around unless you are trying to create conflict.
The old fella might not have been pushed off the stage but here is what I saw.
I saw a man with a purple heart silver star being manhandled by members of Rev.com. These people are funded by the CPUSA and are stalwarts of BLM, marching with them in Ferguson frequently.
That's because what you saw is what actually, objectively happened.
It was placed there 3 times - and removed by the Boss himself.
Not by me, it wasn't! ;)
didn’t say it was you.
I know that; just getting it out there (again), for the record. ;)
see my previous post.
Indeed.
Garbage like this post are what give Free Republic a bad name. Man pushed off ledge is pure bulls#!T. Free Republic should have an ignore feature so jackasses like the OP can be put on ignore and never heard from again. Your clickbait was an insult to the intelligence of every Freeper everywhere.
OP should be zotted for this thread.
Hush, you. Grownups are talking.
I apologize. The anonymity of the internet makes for a strange dynamic where people get more passionate and hence more bold and brazen then polite society should accept.
I apologize for my tone and harshness.
My point is, topics should be honest and not have sensational headlines that imply a man was shoved to his death off a tall ledge when nothing happened of the sort. This makes the OP look either stupid, which is pretty rare, or just dishonest in order to generate thread replies when he knows his post is really really weak.
The first amendment allows for free expression and the more you hate what the people are saying, the more important that amendment is to protecting them and giving them the right to say it.
My headline would be “Veteran is not Allowed to Violate speakers’ 1st Amendment Rights.”
Because that is what happened. People were exercising their Constitutional right to free assembly and a person who didn’t like what they were saying tried to bully his way among them and they wouldn’t stand for it.
‘
While I am 1000% with the Veteran, I refuse to support him for trying to trample on the Constitutional rights of others. That is what the commie Dems do. They crash Conservative events and try to disrupt them with heckling, violence and force.
People who love the Constitution and support it, don’t approve of EITHER side trampling on ANYONE’S God given Constitutional rights.
The Veteran was flat wrong.
Your headline was misleading, disengenuous, and false.
