Oh yeah that’s broken
I just saw the video and its like. Why is he getting involved? There are like 2 police on him that while he is getting a bit out of control have really not lost control and third one is coming up. There is no reason for a civilian to help in this situation.
There’s no reason for the situation to happen to begin with.
yeah its hard to say if he should be removed as they started the video when it was already active so there is no way to see if he was aggressive to a level to having to be removed and if he was given any warnings or anything.
GOOD POINT.
It wouldn’t do to be too rude in our opposition to senseless killing. Decent people might get offended.
They say that saying bad things to them is enough to get kicked out. He was likely calling them spineless traitors, and they proved his point.
yeah he probably broke a couple senators’ arms right before anyone thought to start recording, so fair is fair
Politicians aren’t like regular people, they have a finely attuned sense of when they’re in the presence of a potential photo op.
Why is he getting involved?
I hate to defend a chud Senator, but it kinda looks like the marine has his hand trapped in the door and Sheehy’s trying to get him loose before the cops do further harm. Really hard to say from the shakey camera angle. But it looks like the security goons were going to happily tear his arm straight off if someone hadn’t stepped in.
There is no reason for a civilian to help in this situation.
To help the cops? No. To help the marine? There absolutely was.
How DARE you Stupid Libruls NOT injure our Marine Veterans!
-Republicans LITERALLY!
What’s his medal? Anyone know?

Graduated from Quincy Senior High on a Saturday in early June 2000, and went to Marine boot camp the following Monday. Mama was not ready.
Did my one enlistment as a Light Armored Vehicle Crewman, an infantry MOS in the Corps, until June 2004.
Highlights:
-Six months on a Med Float on the USS Wasp in 2002, established a training ground in Djibouti, Africa. -Deployed for the initial invasion of Iraq in 2003 and traveled extensively across the country. -Made the All-Marine boxing team later in 2003 until the end of enlistment, tried out the year prior, but broke my hand in the tryouts.
Upon my honorable discharge from the USMC, I attended John Wood Community College in Quincy, IL and earned an associate’s degree in education from 2004 to 2006.
…
Well.
I guess he’s somewhat used to his bones being broken.

I can’t find high enough resolution images to confidently make the ribbons, but my best guess for the medal is the Navy Cross.
He doesn’t mention being a pilot, so its unlikely it would be the Distiguinshed Flying Cross.
Also, the Marines and the Navy just use the same medal for Distinguished Service, as best I can tell, likely owing to the history of the Marines long being part of the Navy untill they were formally set aside as a distinct branch.
With emphasis that these are guesses and I almost certainly made mistakes, I have no actual military background or experience, there may be some formal rules of displaying ribbons and medals that my guesses may violate…
Best guesses for ribbons (from our POV):
Row 1 = Joint Service Achievement Medal
Row 2, Left = Navy and Marine Corp Medal
Row 2, Center = Navy and Marine Corp Presidential Unit Citation
Row 2, Right = Bronze Star
Row 3, Left = General Service Medal
Row 3, Center = Iraq Campaign Medal
Row 3, Right = Uncertain
Row 4, Left = Global War on Terrorism Service Medal
Row 4, Center = Humanitarian Service Medal
Row 4, Right = Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal
I shall value this silly image 1000x more than any reddit gold.
In response, I share lemmy beans:
… and also some old ingots of questionable quality.
Theres a couple of mistakes there. For example, a Bronze star would be above the Navy Marine Corps Achivement ribbon since its a much more prestigious medal. I cant tell what the devices are but this is the stack.
Row 1
- Navy Marine Corps Achievement Ribbon
Row 2
- Navy Marine Corps Combat Action Ribbon
- Navy Marine Corps Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon
- Marine Corps Good Conduct Ribbon
Row 3
- National Defense Service Ribbon
- Iraq Campaign Ribbon
- Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Ribbon
Row 4
- Global War on Terrorism Service Ribbon
- Humanitarian Service Ribbon
- Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon

So the badge is sharpshooter for pew pew, rifle only. Pistol usually reserved for guys with rockers on their sleeves, but you see some others get it.
Top ribbon is a NAM, Navy Achievment Medal. And like you’d read a book, there’s a CAR (Combat Action Ribbon), a PUC (presidential unit citation), Good Cookie (three years no bad), then some campaign ribbons, I assume Iraq/Afghan, a MEU.
Was I uh, anywhere near the mark with my comment trying to figure them all out?
They have a few medals (The ribbons above the pocket). The pocket decoration that looks like a cross is most likely a rifle/pistol qualification which is a badge.
The ribbons over the left side of the chest are for achievements/awards and combat deployments he has had during his service.
He looks a lot like Picard here.
I need to check for a concussion. Please count the five lights.
THERE ARE THREE SHIFTS!!
Damn. Maybe next time bring your gun
