25 Days on a hunger strike, huh? Someone must have gotten White House and White Tower confused.

Sorry, I thought "Activists Arrested at White House" qualified.

The great news is they lost their permit, I hope it's a permanent loss.

It won't be. I bet if I went there tomorrow, they would be there, as usual. No one every enforces the law when it comes to these commies.

From the sounds of it, they have few people. If there is less than 25 they don't need a permit.

Oh I forgot.....from the article.

Despite the revocation of their permit, some of the demonstrators vowed to return to Lafayette Square to continue their hunger strike.

Of course not...they have been on a "rolling" or "pass off" hunger strike. LOL

The group has issued a nationwide call for people to go on at least a partial hunger strike, if only for a few hours,

I will join the strike at about 3 AM until 9ish. How's that?

Well, of course, White Tower wanted to compete with White Castle, as did Royal Castle. Buy 'em By The Bag!

It looks like the "journalist" who wrote this just copied a Code Pink press release.

Don't ANY REPORTERS do the slightest bit of homework before they write something they pawn off to readers as news?

What a load of crap!
(Please pardon the bad language...)
