Muttley's Dad

When I see threats and abuse directed at DHS personnel and ICE agents, I think about the Vietnam veterans who described being spit on and cursed at when they came home. They deserved dignity not to be treated as targets for anger over a war Washington sent them to fight. Today, when people on the far left threaten agents or attack them over immigration enforcement, I see the same ugly mistake: turning opposition to government policy into hatred toward the people carrying it out. You have every right to oppose a war, demand immigration reform, protest peacefully, and hold officials accountable for misconduct. A uniform doesn’t put anyone above the law, but it doesn’t put them beneath basic human dignity, either. Threats aren’t debate. Assault isn’t activism. Spitting on someone isn’t courage. And a political slogan doesn’t turn abuse into justice. Our veterans deserved better when they returned home, and agents doing their jobs lawfully deserve better today. Demand accountability, challenge policies, and insist on lawful conduct, but stop pretending cruelty becomes righteous when it serves your politics.
