== Opinionated History Again == == Main Photo ==

As someone who voted for John Kerry for President in 2004, I find a significant amount of opinionated bias in this article such as “ it appeared to be” statements which is someone’s opinionated prospective and a lack of the detail about the claims of the Swift Boaters while giving extensive detail about the positive aspects of John Kerry’s Service. Deification Of Kerry appears to this contributor to be the common theme of this Misplaced Pages page.


:This seems like a reasonable idea, however it may also be worth considering the ], his nomination for President was arguably the highlight of his career and what he will be remembered for so I'd be more inclined to use that image as the lead, however I would be fine if the Secretary of State photo is used as well since it is a major office and was taken only 8 years after his candidacy. ] (]) 08:07, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Too bad the page is locked to ensure that other opinions or prospectives are not given the same freedom of speech rights that the person or persons who where allowed to present their prospective on this page were given.

To bad we continue our rapid decline into a society of giving more rights of personal freedoms to some members then others.

As a person who always try to support Misplaced Pages when asked for financial support, I will discontinue that practice and allow those that Misplaced Pages grants “”Special” freedoms to express their opinions and prospectives as factual History to provide all the support that Misplaced Pages needs. ] (]) 20:16, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

{{edit semi-protected|John Kerry|answered=yes}}
Kerry was arrested on May 30, 1971, during a VVAW march to honor American POWs held captive by North Vietnam. The march was planned as a multi-day event from Concord to Boston, and while in Lexington, participants tried to camp on the village green. At 2:30 a.m., local and state police arrested 441 demonstrators, including Kerry, for trespassing. All were given the Miranda Warning and were hauled away on school buses to spend the night at the Lexington Public Works Garage. Kerry and the other protesters later paid a $5 fine, and were released. The mass arrests caused a community backlash and ended up giving positive coverage to the VVAW.X
