No We Can't: Thousands Shut Out From Inauguration Frustration Mounts After Many With Tickets Wait Hours, Only To Learn They're Not Allowed In
People came from all over the country to see the inauguration in person. For thousands with tickets in hands, they never thought they wouldn't get to experience the chance of a lifetime.
But things didn't go as planned.
Elbow to elbow, anticipating one of the most exciting days of their lives, they came face-to-face with a fence. It was pure shock for those who had tickets to enter through the purple gates, only to find out they'd be held back blocks from Capitol and the National Mall.

I pity those that are now in law enforcement...In the future, every time some of these people get pulled over, or stopped by LEOs, from here on out, many of them are going to feel totally emboldened, with their guy in the Presidency.
No doubt much of law enforcement is going to be heading into some real difficulties.

Reminds me of when Bill and Hill opened up the White House to tours, and they had to turn away people and Hillary was overheard saying “We just screwed all of these people.”

For thousands with tickets in hands, they never thought they wouldn't get to experience the chance of a lifetime. Just a preview of the next four years for Obama worshipers.

They should count their blessings.
I heard there was one Port-a-Potty for every 5000 attendees.

Smart way to draw huge crowds to the area. Give away too many tickets.
