I don’t want to PO either of those two groups (especially YOU), Mags. I could move the damned bucket; you film my arrest.

Remove the horse and tape and drive around it?

It costs more money to erect and dismantle the barricades than it would to routinely empty the garbage and leave the place open. There is no price on pure spite.

Not just barry-cades, but a 500-lb front-end-loader bucket was dropped in the middle of the road. A-holes!
You know I thought the Mahdi's Chicago mafia were clever in an evil, immoral, scheming way. But they are revealing themselves to be dimwit douches in their total misunderstanding of how rank and file Americans will see such actions. As posted elsewhere the USMC Memorial rarely sees the Park Police or Park rangers unless there is a public event scheduled. The Arlington Police sweep the area at night occasionally to let the queers know that they can't openly sodomize themselves before the Iwo Jima statue.

Barrakacades are new and ordered before the shutdown...guess who was planning on making this happen?
(We already stored enough for Inaugurations and huge events!)

Ill betcha my truck would move it! I'll bet my bike would- although I might need some weight on the rear seat.

More proof it isn’t really about the money.

Plastic Jersey barriers can be filled with water to make them heavier, but they can also be drained, allowing easy removal...

I was thinking more like picking it up and carrying it to somewhere the machine can't get to it. Like at the bottom of a pond.

Looks like Barry is targeting a certain demographic. Just let him “barry-cade” a federal program/site that his constituents groups care about.

Has anyone seen any news of the bikers coming to the WWII Memorial from Maryland today?
I can not find coverage of them at all.

Unless they’re filled with sand then they have to be cut open.
To: don-o
Perhaps the states should start erecting barricades around federal buildings. Maybe find reasons for the power to those buildings to be shut off, too.

Elderly vets would only have a problem until us (relatively) younger vets step in to assist them.

See the end of the article:
UPDATE: I'm told, "The Syracuse Honor Flight just knocked down the barrier and a couple hundred of them are at the Memorial now."
