Photo Credit: Daily Mail A senator’s town hall meeting in Portland, Oregon was called off early on Saturday after anti-police and minimum-wage-hike protesters shouted down a 100-year-old U.S. Navy veteran’s medal ceremony.

Shouting ‘Hands up, don’t shoot’ and ‘I can’t breathe,’ more than 100 mostly African-American activists jousted verbally with hecklers from the audience who were assembled for a dialog with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden – and to honor Dario Raschio.

When the ensuing chaos reached a fever pitch, the centenarian Raschio took the microphone to scold the protesters.

‘Give me a chance,’ the soft-spoken vet said. ‘Let’s show a little respect for this occasion.’

‘God bless America. And you people who are here for a cause, whatever it might be – show respect to Senator Wyden,’ he urged, bringing an eruption of applause from the audience. (Read more about what the 100 year old veteran says HERE)
