Chanting “The whole world is watching!” the Occupy DC protesters tried to storm the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum today. They pinned a guard against the wall. The mob forced the museum to shut its doors early.
Hey, didn’t we see the tea party do this sorta thing too? NBC Washington reported on the violent mob outing.
According to Smithsonian spokesperson Linda St. Thomas, a crowd of “about 100 to 200 people” tried to enter through the museum’s Mall entrance.
“They were carrying signs and a lot of protest materials,” St. Thomas said in a statement. “You cannot bring that stuff into the museum under any circumstances.”
According to St. Thomas, the crowd tried to shove its way into the museum after being denied entry by security.
“One security guard was grabbed and pinned against the wall. He could not extract himself,” the spokesperson said. “Another security guard came over to help him and ended up pepper-spraying one person.”
Videos quickly circulated online showing Smithsonian security telling protesters to “get back” while protesters and bystanders covered their faces to shield themselves from the pepper spray. At least one person was seen writhing on the ground in apparent agony.
WHAT in the WORLD did the SMITHSONIAN do to these aholes.
Did you see the guy with the arabic tea shirt. HUMMMMM.
I knew IT! Museums are bastions of Wall Street Spies and a dens of Oppression!!!!!! Obama should close then down!
I did some checking around the lefty sites and the word is there was some kind of "Drone Exhibit" there that they disagreed with. Whatever.

I think it’s just one more thing to trash & cost the taxpayers more money. There could not be any other reason.
There are interesting possibilities mentioned in posts 33 & 43. Then there’s my own, “It’s, like, military-industrial stuff, man, and industrial is like corporate....”
I hope the Kommie Kiddies keep this kind of crap up. The public turns on them rather quickly when they see this kind of childish bull****.
Maybe it is the Spirit of St Louis or perhaps the flight simulators that are setting these nuts off. But it would be really funny if they are after the Enola Gay that is on display at the Dulles museum and safe from anyone who do not have access to an automobile.
I remember a day way back when. We came and went from the museums as we pleased. We jogged around the mall and stopped to pay our respects at Vietnam memorial wall. Late at night dating couples could actually walk up the steps to the Capitol and sit there as long as we liked. We felt safe since the capitol police were all over the place. I am so grateful to God that I experienced that time.
The President of the United States has publicly expressed solidarity with these protestors and said they are only expressing the frustration of the American people as a whole. Nancy Pelosi has said "God bless them." And Bill Ayers, Obama's domestic terrorist friend who bombed the Pentagon and regretted not having done more, is writing their collective demands.
Shouldn't they be given the grandest stage possible?
Have they jumped the shark yet?
The President of the United States has publicly expressed solidarity with these protestors,,,
So let’s refer to them as Obama’s people.
If it is deconstructed, hopefully the contents can be stored at Warehouse 14 by Artie and co.
Soft target. Domestic terrorists.
Having lived in DC for some years, I know the museums are filled with Marxists just like the mob.
Obama asked for this kind of protest, he supports it, and expressed solidarity with them
I would bet serious money that his puppet masters are actually in charge of these protests, and actually BEHIND the scenes running them
So these ARE “Obama’s people” in a very real sense.
This is the civilian army Bowbama said he would have. It’s getting very near time to take up arms.....

The whole world is watching and laughing their butts off.
