OMG. I saw that about the Marines and other servicemembers doing that in NYC, and I'm sure it's happening elsewhere. It's making me well up a little just thinking about it.

I've actually stumbled upon a few really right-wing sites (and associated troll commenters with rather graphic violent fantasies) and am enjoying reading the hatred that's getting spewed on twitter. Whenever I read one of those things, it makes me immediately feel like "wow, these protesters are doing a really good thing." And getting people angry, no matter on which side, is letting more people know that this protest is happening.

And the medical bills... just... it's so awful what happened to him, but if that's true, he will become the poster child of this movement in more ways than one. A veteran Marine who doesn't have good health insurance? We know that happens, but there are so many people who don't.
