@loritho77894733 @Eleven_Films @VetsWall We do not support those who are looking to disrupt. We support peaceful protesters. You seem to be attempting to change the narrative and, as mentioned previously, we're not looking to do that. (2/2)
@loritho77894733 @Eleven_Films @VetsWall The overwhelming majority of all protesters are peaceful. There are, always have been and always will be, disruptive forces. The incident in Seattle last night is a perfect example. The arsonists were not part of the main body of protesters. They came in with 1 purpose. (1/2)
A great big *Thank you* to our (so far) 300 Followers!

We've heard from our Seattle chapter that there was a small group of individuals who engaged in destructive behavior during that protest this afternoon. Official statement from @VetsWall coming shortly to reaffirm our commitment to protecting *peaceful* protesters.
@UnkieGrumpy@VetsWall Short answer to your question, sir: "Yes".
All chapter leads are fully vetted and are responsible for vetting chapter members. Active duty and reservists are discouraged from most activities, per their obligation to the UCMJ.
@FieldRoamer We support the rights of all citizens to peacefully demonstrate. We do not advocate violence, nor condone damage to property. To this point, all of our engagements have been non-violent and non-destructive.
Feds started abducting protesters and a wall of moms formed.
They gassed the moms, so dads brought leaf blowers.
They beat a Navy veteran who just wanted to speak with them, then a wall of vets came together.
They attacked volunteer medics, so nurses showed up in scrubs.
Already the @VetsWall is making a difference in Portland. Other Wall of Vets groups are organizing to stand between peaceful protesters and those who might interfere with their constitutional rights.
New Jersey veterans who want to show their support are encourage to DM us here.
