‘March For Our Lives’ gun-control rally bumped from Mall by ‘talent show’
Washington Post (Democracy Dies In Darkness) ^ | 3/01/18 | Justin Wm. Moyer

A planned rally against mass shootings can’t be held on the Mall later this month because it conflicts with what’s described in a National Park Service permit application as a “talent show.”

A permit application filed last week by survivors of the Parkland, Fla., school massacre indicated the “March For Our Lives” rally will be on March 24, with up to 500,000 attendees expected. Mike Litterst, a spokesman for the Park Service, said organizers proposed holding the event on the Mall but were looking to move the rally to another location after the request conflicted with a film crew’s permit.

**SNIP**

As organizers and authorities dealt with the dueling permits, students at a Montgomery County high school are working to find homes for students expected to attend the event.

The March For Our Lives rally, funded in part by Oprah Winfrey and other celebrities, will include “student speakers, musical performers, guest speakers and video tributes,” according to the permit application, with 14 Jumbotrons, 2,000 chairs and 2,000 portable restrooms.

Will there be security?

The Hogg rally did not get bumped. It was not the first in line for that day. The media is not able to just be factual.

Have them march through SE DC without protection.

They might just change their minds about guns.

I wonder if they will do “Rent A Crowd” from the nearby giggling academies?

The irony of the question is not lost.

20 odd years ago my young kids, elder parents, and an elderly aunt went to see an outdoor music concert at the Marine Barracks. We had to park several blocks away late in the afternoon.

The walk back at 10:00 pm was a helpless feeling. Like a Sloth crossing an African Savannah.

True. There are some bad neighborhoods in Washington, which some might want to avoid without armed escort.

We need to have a protest organized for DC as well.
I like the idea of A Million Magazine March.

One million gun owners show up with unloaded magazines and rally on the mall...

I still think it was these snotty bratty spoiled high school brats who drove Nicklaus cruz to being a murderous thug....and that thug killed mostly 9th graders, not the punk assed thugs who tormented him.

WHERE IS THE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INVESTIGATIONS ????
They’re missing the point It’s not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on or some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
THE MEDIA IS DOING THIS BECAUSE
THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED
STOP SPREADING THE CABLE SWILL MILLS POISON
DEMAND STATE AND FED INVISTIGATION ON THE POLICIES WHICH CAUSED THIS
