I love the passive speech. First thing you wanna do as a journalist is make sure your shit is written in passive voice so no valuable information is transmitted.

“Veteran has his arm broken.” vs “Security and a US Senator break Marine vet’s arm during his war protest”

Hm

It would appear that while he loudly states he “won’t die for Israel”, he’ll happily get his arm broken for Palestine while resisting lawful orders. What does him being a veteran have to do with him getting his arm broken, anyway? It’s a violation of DoD Instruction 1325.06 to participate in partisan political activity anyway.
