Retired Justice O'Neill was almost arrested at VA Medical Center to give speech. [View all]
Ret. Justice Bill O'Neill is also an RN, lawyer and I believe Captain Retired from Military....and a Democrat.
He is also running for Congress now ....
Released to Media this morning. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Former Supreme Court Justice Bill O'Neill was confronted by VA Police as he arrived to speak at a Peace Vigil in Cleveland Sunday evening. "They surrounded my car with blue lights flashing, demanded identification and asked for the name and social security number of the patient I was going to visit after the vigil."
When informed that the Justice was the speaker at the Peace vigil, the first office told him his car would be towed and then called for back up.
"My son and I are patients at the VA and I would estimate i have used that parking garage 100 times. Yesterday was different, and quite frankly I was intimidated by people with guns confronting me in a public building"
The Justice left the garage, parked on a snowy unplowed side street, and went on to address the crowd of 500 peaceful vigil marchers, and went home safely.
This is America? This is where we have come to?
