Wall of Vets joins Portland BLM protests to ward off feds, Internet says 'Trump is finally building walls'
The Black Lives Matter protests in Portland have started to take a turn for the worse. As violence against the protesters gets intense with every day, a Wall of Vets joined the Wall of Moms and Wall of Dads to 'protect' BLM protesters from the federal agents.
President Trump had deployed the agents to the city after tensions began soaring high. As the protests entered their 58th night, thousands joined the fight against the system chanting slogans of "feds go home" and "black lives matter". But the violence did not stop at that as federal agents shot teargas at the crowd even attacking protesters.
The 'Wall of Vets' group appeared at the protests for the first time joining alongside the 'Wall of Moms' and 'Wall of Dads'. "Another huge crowd tonight in Portland, including a new "wall" on the frontlines: a Wall of Vets. Here's a look at the line of military veterans getting set up here in front of the federal courthouse. Behind them, the Wall of Moms and the Wall of Dads are arriving," one tweeted from the ground.
Veterans decided that they must take matters into their own hands as federal agents tear-gassed and beat Navy Veteran Christopher David last week. This week, US marine corps veteran Duston Obermeyer also witnessed first hand the atrocities against the protesters.
The Wall of Vets showing up with solidarity is a reminder for one and all about what real patriotism is. "Wall of Vets! Thank you for your Service-- I get THIS our duty never dies until we do."
"A Wall of Moms, Wall of Dads, Wall of Vets, plus healthcare workers, teachers, and lawyers to protect BLM protestors from attacks by cowards hiding in unmarked uniforms without names, badges, or the conscience to refuse illegal orders makes it obvious who's right and who's wrong," tweeted another.
Americans across the country are overwhelmed by the veterans stepping in. "Moms protecting #BLM protestors like they protect their child, dads protecting moms & family, Veterans protecting American citizens against foreign & domestic attacks on constitutional rights. This is a true representation of The United States #WallofMoms #WallOfDads #WallofVets."
As the violence and police brutality continue to grow, many citizen have given up expecting from the government. "@WallOfMoms has now spread to many cities, and there is a new wall of dads, and a wall of vets. It's now up to the people. Our leaders are not helping us."
Looks like the President was successful in building not one but three walls. "Trump is finally building walls— walls of opposition. Wall of moms, wall of dads, and now a wall of vets."
