I’m sure they turned OFF the Eternal/Infernal Flame at JFK’s gravesite, RIGHT? (I mean, to be consistant...all Memorials are just PARKS, right?)

WOW - excellent point!

I think Arlington is closed, isn't it?

The Park Service says 20,000 employees have been furloughed and about 3,000 are providing security and emergency services.

Sounds like the Park Disservice needs a total of 3,000 people to perform essential services.

I'll go so far as to say, given the overreach capability of those 3,000, perhaps a further halving is in order.

Are the DIMocRATs, LIBs and RINOs proud of their great leader, Clown Prince nobama? All these actions are beyond disgusting. Have we a tyranny?

That’s their goal. Once you have everyone’s health in your hands they’ll do whatever you tell them. The rest can be sent to camps.

If he’s got the time, he should ask for a trial by a jury of his peers. If he loses that... well, we’re truly screwed.

File a lawsuit against the officers as acting outside their area of authority. Publicity will hopefully make them uncomfortable.

If there can an immigration now rally on the CLOSED national mall why can’t a runner run in a national park...SOCIALISM IS FOR THE PEOPLE NOT THE SOCIALIST

It is so damn amazing that the “park is closed” and they are able to have park rangers patrolling it.

Similar thing happened here in the People’s Republik of NJ. They closed the parks during a shutdown, but had park police patrol it. We ignored the “closed” signs rode our mountain bikes on the trails anyway. F-em.

The Nat. Military Park in my town has been full of people walking the loop road after work.

We are seeing the left’s true colors. Brutal and repressive. These fines are illegal and wrong.

Yep, and the democrips and their little bastard boy-king are counting on finally being so unconstitutional that We The People start shooting them. THEN what the globalist have been using the low IQ dolts to accomplish comes to pass, America turns into Amerika, with fedzilla ruling with an iron fist.

Park further away....then misdirect your point of origin.

They won’t see where you came from.

You’re running anyway!

He already paid in taxes that support the Fed’s management of said park. Seems to me that all of the national parks and monuments are owned by the taxpayers rather than those who we allow to manage them.

I’m past disgusted with the rangers and other officers who are keeping baricades up, removing people, and handing out fines. They’re supposed to be representing us, at our national parks and memorials. They’ve become a big part of the problem “just following orders”.

Being a union goon comes first, American comes second.
