At least they’re in the right city. Now if they could just find 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Isn’t it funny how people just ‘aren’t happy’ these days.

Must be too much hope and change.

The protestors have no plan, their coordinators.....they want a fight and these morons are just stupid enough to start one for them.

Is this the occupy Wall Street rabble that have been spreading across the country? We are going to need counter demonstrators to confront the left’s attempt to bring the Arab Spring to America.

True. The useful idiots may not be ready to martyr themselves but the people pulling their strings have no problem sacrificing as many of them as it takes.

Will they be prosecuted for kidnapping an on-duty federal employee on federal property? Don't hold your breath.

The public is going to punch back any second now.

The problem I see...and I live in Arlington so I know this stuff.....there are 10k people who travel hundreds and thousands of miles for their one and only trip to DC....on a daily basis. Some come from as far away as Japan, France, and Russia. They want to see all that DC offers in terms of 5-star museums. These people are on a timetable and only have X number of days in the DC region.

So when the demonstrators come to mess with museums and attractions....it really gives a negative view of everything, including the message that some dimwit protester might have. You end up with people from the heartland who are hostile, and people from overseas who shake their head over this confusing protest.

Remember what happened to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo six months ago?
