heckler or patriot at the Howard Schultz event?

Here's the video. A heckler shouts at Howard Schultz during an event in New York: "Don't help elect Trump, you egotistical, billionaire asshole." Via CNN

4. Patriot and an honest man

Patriot and an honest man.

Next one should throw "draft dodger" at Mr. Schultz and see how he reacts.

He's 65 and was born July 19, 1953; I wonder who the poor bastard who got to go to Vietnam in his place was?

Oh wait, here's one:

9. Apparently you don't understand how the draft worked.

Just because one was of age to be eligible to be drafted, did not mean that one would be drafted. To assume that another that had been drafted, and subsequently lost his life, had given his life in exchange of the one who had not been drafted is ridiculous. As a Viet Nam Era veteran myself, I understand why one would avoid this war. I enlisted in the Air Force specifically because I didn't want to be drafted into the Army. I have never regretted that decision. Find a different reason to oppose Schultz. There surely are many.

12. Understand it well...

Actually, I understand it well...

I was one of the many who came along after 1975 and volunteered for the service, in order to clean up the messes the way the draft was administered in the late 1960s and early 1970s had left behind in the US armed forces.

The point is, however, I admire those who took a stand against the war, and suffered the consequences; and I admire those who served when their country called; but what I can not admire are those who simply stood by and let their fellow citizens bear the burden.

Draft dodgers and fortunate sons were and are the dregs of their generation. Schultz is one of them. So's Trump. Fuck 'em all.

Both of them put together, and all the rest of their cowardly chickenhawk brethren put together aren't worth Charles Stewart - or, for that matter, Alice Herz, Norman Morrison, or those murdered at Kent State and Jackson State.

14. And either you stand up and serve, or you stand up and protest...

And either you stand up and serve, or you stand up and protest...

And Schultz has tried to cover up his cowardice:

11. Here's hoping there's one at every whistle stop...just like this guy.

13. Hero. He set the tone and I'm amused and thrilled by all the press

it received. Perfectly worded, easily remembered. He destroyed Schulz's campaign before it started. Lol

[Generic Brad]

15. Both

This is not a one or the other proposition.
