Video is misleading. Clapping starts at 0:28, and the camera did not show the seats for the person(s) in question until 1:03. That's a 35 second window that person could have been standing and clapping. Others also start sitting down at 1:08.
Without a second viewpoint, showing the other 35 seconds, this is simple MSM editorializing for the sake of crafting a false narative.

"Gold Star"... What an insulting term to apply to people who's loved ones died either truly believing they were "defending 'Merica", or just taking advantage of the fact, if they live, the military does offer some amount of job security...
This imaginary "Gold Star" has got to be a "Star of David" right? Remind them they died fighting wars for Jewish bankers/money lenders, who are raking it in on interest on loans taken out by the Military Industrial Complex...........
Would be fucked up if the people ever woke up to the fact that the North American continent is about as geographically isolated as can be in regards to the rest of the world, and by just simply securing our points of entry and borders we could actually provide domestic security without sending our young people off to play Commando..... But no, we're real "bad-asses" invading, occupying, and dominating camel jockeying, dope-growing, goat herder land.......

It's not the star of David. It's a five pointed star and the term "Gold Star Mother" goes back to after WW1. During times of conflict, families of soldiers would hang "service flags" to show they had loved ones fighting. These flags had blue stars, one star for each service member of that family serving in that conflict. If the service member died in the conflict, then the blue star was changed to gold.

While I do agree that this is incredibly disrespectful, I think it's a bit dramatic to preface this post with "HORRIBLE VIDEO." The left has done waaaaay worse than this.

The click bait titles on Voat are fucking obnoxious. My only complaint in my extensive 2 week experience.
