They tried to do the same with parks in Wisconsin.

Walker told them to pound sand.

Let me ask a simple question -

does it somehow cost less to send people to put up barricades and people to stand armed to guard these sites,

than to NOT send people to barricade and guard the sites?

this was done to make “shutdown” more visible and painful
