5. He's fantastic, and the cops are too!

He really seemed to touch a chord with both the capital police and the metro police who showed up, and established such a good camaraderie with them. They seemed legitimately sympathetic to his cause.

We need an Army of guys (and gals) like this. And I honestly think that we have that Army. We just need to activate them and support them. This guy gives me hope. Resist!

An 80-year-old veteran chained himself to a sign near the White House Monday to protest Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s massive cuts to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

Richard Hobcraft Allan III, a resident of Charlottesville, Virginia, locked himself to a metal post outside of the presidential building Monday morning, holding a pipe around his hands reading “King Trump and Pres Musk are killing veterans.”
