What the Hell Is Going on at the Pentagon?

"Republican Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana assisted several police officers in physically ejecting a man who interrupted a Capitol Hill hearing on Wednesday to object to the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran. The protester was Brian McGinnis, a Marine veteran running as a Green Party candidate in North Carolina's Senate race, according to his website. He said shortly afterward that his arm was broken during the clash with police and the senator."

"Photographs and verified videos from the site, which the guardian has not published due to their graphic nature, show children's bodies lying partly buried under the debris. In one video, a very small child's severed arm is pulled from the rubble. Colorful backpacks covered with blood and concrete dust sit among the ruins. One girl wears a green dress with gingham patches on her pockets and the collar, her form partly obscured by a black body bag."

"One distraught man stands in the ruins of the school, waving textbooks and worksheets as rescuers dig by hand through the debris. 'These are the schoolbooks of the children who are under these ruins, under this rubble here,' he shouts. 'You can see the blood of these children on these books. These are civilians, who are not in the military. This was a school and they came to study.'"

Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana helped Capitol Police physically remove Brian McGinnis, a Marine veteran and Green Party candidate, from a hearing where McGinnis was protesting U.S. and Israeli military actions. McGinnis reported his arm was broken during the altercation, while Capitol Police claimed he violently assaulted officers. Simultaneously, documented evidence emerged of a U.S. military airstrike that killed approximately two hundred schoolchildren. Photographs and videos from the site show children's bodies in rubble, bloodied backpacks, and devastated family members holding schoolbooks stained with blood, highlighting the civilian casualties from military operations.
