Still fighting those fucking devils,

[@MadeByGod1973]

I miss being on funeral detail.

[@MadeByGod1973]

@Nevin Reid military funeral detail. It's what the Servicemembers in this video are doing.

[@robertphillips1791]

A couple of honor guard members were struggling to keep their footing because of the loose carpet. I was scared there for a minute. That would have been a total disaster.

[@jackiejackson8484]

Attention Government of the United States of America: After this prestigious funeral for one of our great elders, are you going to free John Lewis’s people from slavery. Remember he worked long and hard for freedom and rights for his people. They shouldn’t have to vote to get a piece of the pie. After this funeral I black people now free or they have to die first?

[@lindaparker4950]

Goodbye Congressman Lewis RIP Sir

THANKS YOU SOLDIER'S FOR HANDLING THIS PRECIOUS BEING WITH GENTLENESS

[@smiley-dr5qn]

That is the tackiest setup i have ever seen. This is a high profile service and a supposively top of the line organization handling the service and you allow a setup like this to take place, please.

[@mernafrederick5153]

Jogn Lewis was a very humble man. He would not have minded at all. He is with the Lord. His shell is in that box and his shell has no knowledge of or cares about what you call the 'setup'.

[@bobleroy1924]

February 21st needs to be a national holiday for johns b day. Do it now

[@danielyeroshalmi7492]

i can just imagine those marines start dancing with the coffin and the music starts playing

They were not all Marines I hope you knew that.

The poor soldiers trying to move over poorly placed ground. Back injuries for sure. RIP

[@youvids9820]

I was saying the same darn things, it ridiculous how they setup that gravesite for those soldiers

[@cherylpeevy5010]

@@youvids9820 I was so afraid they would trip. Funeral home director or cemetery crew should have done better. But our military adapted well.

[@robmetaldeth1889]

What, no shootings?

[@dannyzbiel2186]

Does the casket stink or something? This is creepy

[@MsLDSixtyOne]

What is creepy about it? The body is cold!

[@dannyzbiel2186]

MS.DONNA.M. A man who did a lot and went through a lot for this country deserves a burial without the masks. I know there’s a pandemic but That isn’t alright

[@MsLDSixtyOne]

@@dannyzbiel2186 That's not Rep John Lewis fault...... The man did his job!! Now let the man RIP.....

[@dannyzbiel2186]

MS.DONNA.M. The whole mask thing reminds me of a hospital. I know the body is just the shell of former living being and he did his part for humanity but I could due without the mask if I was to bury someone with such a legacy. I mean, I guess I’m still not really used to this time we’re in.

[@dannyzbiel2186]

MS.DONNA.M. Very true. He did and he held his own. That’s all anyways. Mad respect for him though. My original comment was directed towards the marines carrying the casket.

Just burn the damn casket, its easier Слава России!!!!
