What's wrong with people? Combat vet denied apartment.

  • Mass. Veteran Sues Anti-War Apartment Owner, Alleges Discrimination

    Mon, Jun 4, 2012 - WBZ Boston

    A Massachusetts veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has filed a civil rights lawsuit against an anti-war activist who reportedly declined to rent him an apartment.

  • Damn hippie. No seriously that's crap. & it aint right. Military personel have a job to do & they do it. Reguardless of how you feel about war right wrong or indifferent you should respect our soldier's & their famalies. They are just doing their job's & thank God they do.

    Could have been what happened here

  • That situation will get ugly quickly.

    Thanks to that veteran for his service and I apologize that people have to be so ignorant as they can't see someone doing their duty (and thereby helping ensure this anti-war guy has his rights to protest such a war).

    In a time where more information is available to people than at any other time in history, people are so ignorant these days.

    Its also ignorance to think all combat vets are people you want in your hood

    I have met plenty that i would never rent an apartment too, cause i know it will end in disaster

    Yeah, I appreciate all veterans. But I know a lot of guys who served but just came back much different people. I hate to say it, but they are just difficult to be around. Its funny how you served and people are downvoting you.

    Its cool, but i know this issue well and feel both sides need to be discussed no matter how much people can't handle it

    I hate the old " he served so he should be given everything cause he is such a great man "

    Its simply not reality, some military men scare the shit out of people... Its a fact

    Lots of vets get denied all kinds of shit

    We say its not fair but is it fair to a community of people that now must reside next to a ticking time bomb ?

    Also not everybody that served was doing it right over there, some servicemen commit henious crimes over there

    I understand that guys come back differently sometimes. I have three cousins (Army & Marines) and they know guys who have been altered-given their experiences. There is a reasonable concern for someone coming back from that area.

    For the record, I never said "all combat vets" and I don't get into the downvoting BS, or even upvoting, Makes very little sense to me. If I don't agree or agree with you, I can address it via the reply function, or just disregard altogether. Voting something up or down is pretty pointless.

    I hear you man. My father hung up his uniform after 42 years last week. Grew up on army bases and have been around military people my whole life. For a variety of reasons, I'm not really a fan of the knee jerk "omg omg thank for your service you are a saint that walks on water" that we see today. Plenty of dirtbags enlist and they don't cease being dirtbags when they put on the uniform.

    As with any profession. One of my cousins actually enlisted to avoid a possession of marijuana charge. Turned out, the Army was the best thing for him and changed him as a person. There are always exceptions, though.

    Yeah man, people truly don't understand the reality of war and the effect it has on a young mind

    Especially now cause there is a disconnect between the military and your common american more than ever before in this country

    I don't know, people just need to wake up and think

    The US military is a brutal unforgiving business at a time of war

    everything you have said is ridiculous, what should we do when they come back from serving our country? Put them on a reservation in the desert? How many civilians have you read about going back into their office and shooting it up or postal workers, going postal ring a bell? should we also put all postal workers in the desert?...In any profession people lose it. You hear more about civilians losing it than men and women who have served this country.

    Lulz, you clearly have no idea how bad it is right now

    Suicides are at all time highs in terms of the military

    And i don't know what to do about it, but i do know more needs to be done

    If everything i said is that ridiculous then you are out of touch with reality or simply don't understand what im saying

    Of course its not an overwhelming number, but its enough to where something needs to be done in order to help these kids

    And certainly enough to where more than a few ex-soldiers are treated with caution all over our nation

    Im just saying its not always the so called " hippes " fault

    There is twice as many civilians as men and women who served

    There is a huge difference between combat vet and vet..... Big, big difference

    But that's not what the landlord cited as a reason for turning him down. She specifically mentioned his combat experience in that it conflicts with her beliefs.

    Yeah just watched the video. The lady seems pretty nuts not to rent this guy because she is anti-war

    Who said this guy should be given everything? He is attempting to rent an apartment from an apartment owner, not a room in his house, and was turned down essentially because he was a vet. That isn't trying to get special treatment like the conclusion you jumped to, it is trying to get a place to live.

    Way to assume this vet is some PTSD "ticking timebomb" too. Not everyone that goes to war comes back like that, quit believing all the inflammatory lies of the liberal media. You sure aren't biased or anything, hippie.

    Apartment owner is a piece of trash and I hope this vet cleans her out in court. Hope the lady has to sell his complex just to pay the settlement. This decision should cost her everything, he deserves it.

    Yeah i mean it sucks, but i hear about this kind of shit all day

    Its america, people have the right to say no

    Its not like this dood can't find an apartment somewhere else who would be happy to have him

    This situation just doesn't bother me that much, if it happened to me I'd just laugh and move on

    Much bigger shit to worry bout in life and my point was not about your OP, just used it as a springboard to say not all these doods are solid citizens or people you would want next to your family.... Plain and simple

    Pretty obvious you just don't want to like this guy or support him in any manner. Take the side of the lady that sits in airports to spit on vets as they return because they are "murderers". no
