Bummer how this isn't shocking at all.

Wasn't that long ago we saw a US Senator get beat up by ICE on live tv. A simple GI getting his arm broken is just another Wednesday.

And kudos to that pussy-ass senator for attacking a guy getting mobbed by donut eaters.

Also, vote Green. Both Dems and Republicans support this shitty war, as usual.
