“Capitol Police Board Chairman and Senate Sgt. At Arms and Doorkeeper”
Think that’s on his business card?
Oddly enough, that's the same reasoning Preezy Obola uses to repeatedly violate The Constitution.
Kids fall down stairs:
Should the Feds ban 2 or 3 story homes? Should they ban homes with basements?
Banning sledding is just plain mean. Put up signs that state liability for injuries while sledding are the fault of the sledder.
I’m not against the kids having fun .. but there might have been another reason to stop the sledding.
If the snow is not that deep, sledding on it can damage the grass underneath .. causing it to die.
So .. maybe the rule was to prevent having to replace all that lawn .. by USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
Geeeeee .. I guess nobody thought of that.
And yet when Tim's kid gets hurt sledding on Capitol grounds, he will beat feet to the nearest lawyer to sue the government, since they have the deepest pockets.
Allow a little civil disobedience and the next thing you know you’re on that slippery slope.
Now, if only Boehner and McConnell would take a lesson and push back on big government.
"LET MY PEOPLE SLED!"
Just wait till they treat those sledders like they did that lady who rammed the Capitol Hill area in her car.
Having known someone died sledding (hit a tree and suffered fatal head injuries) and someone who broke heir neck sledding, I can understand the fear of damages and so on.
But kids need to do things that are risky sometimes. And heck, sledding is just plain fun!!
How about getting the kids’ parents to sign a release that they won’t sue if the kid gets hurt.
That’s clearly an assault saucer in the photo.
