You know it is completely Mickey Mouse to “close” the memorial. Probably takes more manpower to “close” it than have it open

Has anybody heard if anything’s happening at The Wall?

I know that it currently is unfashionable on FR, but I’d like to give some kudos to the Park Police.

Where does the Imperious DC Gov’t get off keeping people out of an open air monument-memorial? You need Park Rangers there to supervise??? Fire 50% of Federal workers, half do nothing useful.

Well, duh, damn right you need somebody there to supervise. Otherwise, this sort of thing would be an everyday occurrence:

If the Park Police can be there to close it they can be there to keep it open.

This is nothing but pure unadulterated Harassment.
Nasty minded Bullsh*t designed to hurt tourists.

These Monuments do not require a staff, they are open to the world.

As long as liberals aren’t attending they do not need cleaning.

There were some great photos of this earlier. Absolutely the right thing to do.

And on another note, why is it cheaper to pay park police to close all these parks, instead of just keeping them open?

I guess that’s a rhetorical question. It’s kind of like Obama closing the White House to school tours, while keeping it open for weekly rap parties.

The objective of this vile bunch is to inflict maximum pain on the people for not giving into the demands of our Dear Leader, meanwhile keeping their cronies on the payroll and the Leader in golf and other vacays.

I agree with you. They were left to deal with it with no guidance and they honored the veterans by not interfering.

Iowans in Steve King’s district can be proud they have a man of character representing them.

THIS is how you do it...

you do not need park rangers, tour guides or any other petty beaurocrat to tour the nations memorials..

JUST DO IT..

make them arrest you..

They don’t have money to keep it open so they pay guards to be there.What changes when it is open?

Nearly 70 years after Normandy and Iwo Jima, these vets still know how to land in enemy territory and take the beachhead.

Fantastic. Maybe there’s a lesson we can learn.
