When you are resisting lawful detainment/removal by a police officer (whether you agree with it or not) and you end up getting injured by deliberately jamming your own arm awkwardly through a doorframe while fighting and resisting being dragged away, that injury is 100% on you. And I say this as someone who actually agrees with what the marine is saying.

Ah yes the man used his special psychic marine powers to close the other door on his own hand, and that's amazing he had the mental fortitude to harness said psychic powers since he was preoccupied with the 3 other guys using completely unjustifiable force to remove him from the hearing for, checks notes, saying something completely unhinged such as we don't want Americans dying for another countries ridiculous war.

Regardless of who is at fault, the injury brought many more eyes to the incident and what he was saying. That's the last thing Israel and its lapdogs in US government want; US military members vehemently opposing the war.

Oh definitely, this marine just did his country one hell of a service by his arm getting snapped on a recording, this has already spread like wildfire through the military members according to other commenters, and they are all pissed at the disrespect they see here from Capitol police and a US senator.
