The crowd shouted slogans such as “Free DC!” and “From DC to Palestine, occupation is a crime.” Some also shouted expletives as the three men walked into Union Station and gathered at a branch of Shake Shack to hand out burgers to troops deployed last week by Donald Trump, and continued as they tried to speak to reporters and eventually left.
