NBC: Police Remove Vietnam War Veterans at Memorial Wall

Via William Jacobson, NBC's affiliate in Washington, D.C. reports that police ordered tourists and Vietnam war veterans who were visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to leave the memorial at one point on Friday.

After one group of veterans went around the barricade, "the park ranger told them the wall was closed," NBC's Mark Seagraves reported. "Later another group of vets showed up and moved the barricades. At that point, the memorial filled with vets and tourists. That's when police came and moved everyone out."

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is a black granite outdoor wall on which the names of the 58,272 service members who died or were unaccounted for during the Vietnam war are inscribed.

It takes more manpower and costs the government more money to close down an outdoor wall than to let people walk past it and pay their respects.

The Obama administration has been very selective in devoting resources to shutting down memorials.

Take every one of those damn barriers down, haul them over to the White House and throw them over the fence. If there are any wood or plastic barriers, pile them up and burn them!

The regime is venturing into intolerable conduct. They have made a major miscalculation about what they can impose upon us without resistance...and they are revealing their true nature.

Democrats have always hated Vietnam vets despite the fact that it was essentially their war ...

It's a SIDEWALK on a public street! How is closing this saving one dime?

Vietnam vets need to storm and OCCUPY this memorial, TODAY!

World War II vets and their families need to storm and OCCUPY this memorial, TODAY!

The Obozo Gestapo can not and WILL NOT arrest hoards of vets and their families.

The police are part of the communists empire of King Obama. America will not rise so looks like we are headed to a dictatorship.

The vets should have chanted: “Hell no, we won’t go!”

Because if they resist, there will be violence, and that’s what Obastard wants. He’s pushing for a “Reichstag moment.”

I was able to tune in for all of his show with the exception of the first 15 minutes on Wednesday... he was ON FIRE... I hope the “down time” at the wedding starts many conversations and there is a real call to action... it needs to happen NOW.
