MILLER: Is this Martin Luther King’s legacy? National Mall covered in garbage
The washington Times ^ | August 25, 2013 | Emily Miller

The day after thousands rallied to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington, the National Mall looks like a trash dump.

The grass from the Lincoln Memorial to the World War II Memorial is covered Sunday with empty soda cans, water bottles, boxed lunches, newspapers, a broken chair and rally signs. The Reflecting Pool also was filled with trash.

Although the trash cans were full along the expanse, the attendees did not attempt to leave their garbage near the bins. Instead, they left everything on the grass where they stood.

Don’t forget it’s also the same name we here don’t want any kids to be forced to attend.

"...National Mall covered in garbage."

Yep. Every protest I have gone to, we police the area before we leave.

That garbage is indicative of who they are.

I'm saying that the rot has spread farther than you think.

In a lot of ways from the stupid crap like leaving trash all around right up to minor and serious criminal behavior.

Yeah, well, it reflects the character of the people who polluted the area.

Ghetto is ghetto. Don’t matter the color, Bud.

The rot is all the way through the roots. The plant is dead.

I was actually expecting worse. I mean I thought it was going to be rotting food and beer cans all around. I am not saying that the place looks great, but I was expecting a ton worse.

Right I don’t see much of a litter disaster here today. When Jug Ears got inaugurated it was left like a pig sty. Might have been only the first one

Wasn’t much of a crowd so how much litter can they leave? MLK is down the memory hole. JugEars is their new messiah (mocha 2.0)

You can take the dweller trash out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto trash out of the dweller off the National Mall.

Can we judge the crowd not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character?

Things got to change in this country—time to stop wishing for change but to start making it happen.
